Pheeww... so the aquarium has been finally moved and this is how it was done:

First of all I bought from HD some of those furniture moving plastics that come with some fluffy material that you can put on them to not scratch the floors. We laminated all the way to the aquarium. Then we needed 3 people.

We put a piece of laminate under both sides of the aquarium and pry bars underneath them (the laminate to not damage the stand and to distribute the force applied by bar). Both people pushed the pry bars slightly to lift the aquarium just enough to move it onto the ready laminate to put the plastic fooot under it. Then we did the same to the pther side. And finally to the back legs. When all four legs had thplastic things underneath them, the aquarium was sliding like a charm. Then finished the laminates and moved it back, tilted ever so slightly to get rid of plastics. Overall, took about an hour to move and. No water was drained...

Thanks for the suggestion!
