This thread is inspired by a few recent threads about folks moving big tanks in and out of their homes (Christine and Rebecca). I thought I'd start up a thread for us to share our craziest tank move stories.
I have a few (which all oddly enough revolve around helping Matt move tanks) but the best is when Matt still lived at his house in Gaithersburg.
It was a 4'x2'x30" 150. Awesome tank, but heavy as all get out. About the only existing place in Matt's fishroom was a corner behind his water heater. Although there were four of us (me, Matt, Tony, and Michael O'Shea), there was just no possible way for us to maneuver the tank into place. I think we tried for almost an hour before we finally called it impossible and went to rearranging the entire fish room to get things to fit.
This story would be much better with pictures, but it was a few years ago...
