I am SpidersWeb Ex fiance and he got me into the hobby as well. I started out with a 680 litre tank with Oscars. In that respect a smaller tank is a good idea to start with

Oscars have attitude! But yes smaller tank is a good idea to start with. Good Luck

Hey guys, I think Ill source out some 4x2 and padding see how that goes, that might be the best option as we have quite a few steps to maneuver. Polystrene option could be a plan too, will have to see how things go. Some of my family is coming down to help now and we might be able to rope some of the UHAS into helping too. It will be a interesting weekend and I think by the end of shifting beer and wine will be a must! Thanks heaps for all the suggestions Puddles

Thanks the 4x2 is an awesome idea! We still have a small prob. There is only 2 of us moving it and we wouldn't be able to move it onto the wood to even shift it. It was originally brought into the house by local movers. We would have the prob at the Hamilton end as well. Any ideas?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to move large tanks? I have 2 large tanks, ones a 650 litre and the other one is 450 litre which have my Oscars in at present We are moving up to Hamilton from Wellington and have to organise the shift of our many little tanks as well as these 2 large ones. Now the little tanks aren't a prob coz we can lift them. The big tanks however are not so easy to lift. Actually we cant lift them at all. Thanks

Thanks everyone. BTW Jimmy is the name of my Oscar! (just named) And he has just started eating. (he didnt feel it necessary to do so the first 2 days)

Hey caper, Yes MTS indeed! I have just purchased a Oscar today and along with it yet another tank! puddles

Well Done! Great detective work jude. Heya Caryl good to met ya.

Hey jude and Mystic, Thanks for the welcome! SpidersWeb is my boyfriend and with the growing number of fish tanks in our house (3 turned into 5 last weekend) thought i would have a go at it too. I personally dont know much about fish, only what i have learnt in the past couple of months from reading posts on here and Jono sharing his knowledge. Oh and we got Gold Severums and Algae eaters too. Getting quite a lil collection we are.

Hey, My name is Helen. I have recently moved down to Upper Hutt and just getting into the Tropical fish scene. We have a couple of 4 ft tanks already with Firemouths, Neons, Angels and Plecos. An Oscar is the fish i am interested in and hopefully we get one in the near future *fingers crossed* I have met a few of ya before with Jono and our visits around the place and hope to get to know a few more. Look forward to talking with ya
