Lady-Lene Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yay for me ...... carpet layers are coming on Tuesday so had to move the 4.5' tank. Didn't want to take the fish out so just emptied it to about 6 inches from the bottom (fish were freaking a bit). Lifted up the ends of rimu stand and slid some strops under there. Then had some burly guys lift the strops and moved it inch by inch. NO BREAKAGES ! I'm so stoked as I've been worrying about it for days, hoping the stress of moving it with water and substrate in it would not compromise the joins. Hehehe now I've just gotta move it back again! :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becc4 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I did that once and it was enough to place stress on the glass, and when i moved the tank back into original position it split. I wouldn't risk it, especially with new carpet going down, its a hassle emptying out a tank, but I'd much rather spend the time doing that, than mopping up a couple of hundred litres of water. But then again, I could have been careless and had some sort of torque type movement happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
