took 4 of us for my 60x30x30 and we could have used a 5th come placing it on the stand.

Sounds like someone is considering a serious upgrade.

Four is minimum. I would suggest to use ropes over neck, like movers use. When I moved my 200G it was not easy job, there was 1"water before we took it out of the house. Without water four people can do it.

I had 5 when setting mine up, 96 x 25 x25. Still very heavy, but I'd add or remove also depending on distance, turns or stairs. Good luck,

Jon...........

Hey if you need that thing moved, I'll rent a truck, get together a bunch of guys, and move it for you free of charge.

Not going to tell you where I'll move it to. ;-) :-P

(Next day, new thread in the Delaware Reef club forum: "New tank build thread, 250!") :-D

Actually...If your interested...I may be able to arrange it for you! A friend of mine is getting out of FW...and tried to sell it unsuccessfully for a long time. He called me this week and said it was mine for free if I wanted it. There is no way in the world I would be able to use it...
