I was in the same predicament when I bought a tank that is the same size as yours'. It was in the basement, and the staircase was too narrow to move it out. When it was delivered to the seller's house, the builder accidentally dropped it, and it slide down the stairs. Luckily there was no damage.
My husband and I ended up have to cut apart, and remove it panel by panel. It tooks two nights to do this, and I suggest a rubber mallet and putting knife. We have just started to assemble it now, and so far, so good. It is nice to have the front glass removed the handbuild the background and stack the base rock with ease.
I could no find a mover or the manpower to help. Taking it apart was the option we had, but it made it much easier and only two of us were needed to get it home. I hope thism helps.
