This Friday I have 8 of my friends coming over to help carry in my new tank. It is 60”x36”x24 all 1/2”. Double panel of 1/2” glass on the bottom, and 1/2” euro bracing on top.

The tank will be moved about 65’ from my garage, it will then have to turn on one of its sides to get into the house, travel on its side for about 25’ to clear one interior door frame, and then another 20’ to the stand.

What is the easiest way? Myself and guy friends are all over 30yrs old, not that it matters other than “you” possibly think kids/teenagers. I think I have enough man power, but how should we go about this?

My current tank was a 2-3 person job and not turn sideways.

Thoughts? Ideas? Issues to plan for?

The shipping bill stated 530lbs in its crate...FYI
