250 Gallon

[Stixbaraca]

Anyone here have any exprience carrying a 250? How many guys would it take comfortably?

[Mache62]

hmm, depends on whether they are union or not I think!

[bheron]

Glass Im guessing?

Took 4 of us to carry my 220 all glass, but 3 couldve done it. three of us lifted it onto the stand.

[Stixbaraca]

Yes Glass

[Troll]

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.

[Stixbaraca]

Nah...just helping a friend out!

[us2000ua]

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,

Thanks...not looking forward to moving it!

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.

[Gordonious]

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

[Stixbaraca]

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...

Stix is that a RR 250 if it is I may be interested and I have a pickup truck. Or if someone else is interested I'll help for some frags as long as its not to far away.

[Stixbaraca]
