Default Moving a 225 Gallon tank

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase a 225 gallon tank and wish to move it from one place to another (tank, stand and sump only). The problem is lack of large truck/trailer, manpower and over flowing pockets of money. If anyone can give me some suggestions based on experience, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Issue #1.
The tank/stand would be moved from a fairly easy location (within 30 min from my place) to my basement, 1/2 flight of stairs with a sharp corner at the end, down the hall a bit. The stairwell is somewhat narrow.

Issue #2.
The tank will be located in an area that is 7'3 wide and 9'4 deep. I would need to get it all together in a very tight area or slide the 6 ft wide tank/stand in place without killing the floor. Luckily It's laminate and I can pull most of it up if dragging is necessary!


Thanks in advance for any advice.
