smidey Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 borrow or hire a van would most likely be cheaper than shipping? other than that contact a furniture removal company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 cost would be more that a new one is worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim r Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I needed a change. Got bored with Taupo ( still got my house). Up till now enjoying every minute, people are very friendly and it is a much nicer place than people have led me to believe. However we really, really, need a decent outlet here.

ryanjury Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Good sized tank.. It would fit on a trailer too if you have a car with towbar or access to one.. I also don't think you would need that many people to load it if it is only 10mm glass and empty of all water and substrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Put some poly under the tank, poly on the front of the trailer and strop if forwards and down that way it can't bounce or move anywhere.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lifted my 8ft with me and another just fine so i think this will be an easy lift. i have a car and trailer but just not sure what i would put under the tank so it didnt brake on the way home lol im sure me and 2others could pick up the tank Poly under the tank and a load of towels and blankets around the edges.
