It usually only cost you pizza and maybe a couple beers., which in the long run is cheap. The benefit of doing this? Everyone that shows up knows the value of the equipment and livestock being moved. Also you get to meet the reefers in your area.
Just a thought, let us know what the outcome is. I hope with the visible damage shown that the seals are still intact. Trim can be replaced.
Thanks,

Yeah, that's a great point. I was in a rush but now I know for next time to rent a U-Haul and offer free food in exchange for extra hands.
I've met many of you in person and you're all great people so next time I'll ask for help from people I actually trust around an aquarium.
The seals look fine, though it's hard to tell on the rear corner how much damage there is.
I just have no idea if there are any fine or invisible cracks in the glass that may pose a problem later on.

You should be able to get that 189$ at least.
You definitely won't get more than that, if anything.
I had a similar experience with "2 small men with big hearts" years ago.
If you signed, they are covered, you are not.
I would fix it so it sits level, then fill it and see what happens.
You should try and send those pics to a custom aquarium place or even a glass repair shop....they might have some know how that will help.

I started reaching out to Red Sea to get an idea of how much the replacement cost is. I doubt the movers will reimburse me for anything, let alone the moving cost but, before I contact them, I want to find out the actual cost I'll have to cover to fix their ****up.
