RE: [AquaticLife] Ideas on safely moving a 125 gallon (glass) fish tank up two flights of stairs?

I just moved to FL and brought 1-55 gal tank. I emptied the tank totally. Put the gravel in cat litter containers and it worked great. Only took 2 for the gravel and 1 for the live plants. Unfortunately I lost all but 1 cory, 1 cherry shrimp, and my mystery snails in the trip.

All I can say is that the added weight of gravel will make lifting very

difficult if not impossible. My removalists even said so about my 55 gallon

tank.

Subject: [AquaticLife] Ideas on safely moving a 125 gallon (glass) fish tank

up two flights of stairs?








I am moving this month and am trying to figure out a way to safely move


my 125 gallon (glass) tank up 2 flights of stairs.


Thankfully it's 2 flights outside of the house so we don't have to worry


about a stairwell getting in the way.


I was hoping to not have to remove all of my gravel and just fix the


gravel that shifts once the tank is flat and upstairs where it will be


staying. I'm also hoping this is the last time I have to move this tank ;)


Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about the carry straps


you can buy that help with proper lifting techniques, but wasn't sure


how well they would work with a 6 foot long fishtank.


Sorry I've been so quiet (and not moderating) the last few months, lots


of stuff going on that's been keeping me occupied. I'm hoping life will


go back to normal and I can have free time again.
