big tank for free....must move yourself

[Matt]

Even disassembled, this is a major lift. A side panel or bottom is going to weigh nearly 500lbs (assuming 3/4" glass).

I'm still curious to know if anyone has knowledge of, or (even better) pictures of, this tank when it was set up. This thing was/is a monster.

Something is a little weird here.

Gnu-reefer made the thread yesterday and was here at a around 6:30 am this morning and again at 9:50 am.

Also, voicemail message(within 20 minutes of his posting.) left for Gnu-reefer at contact number in original post and no reply either way.

hmmmmmm............ Very interesting indeed.

Wow, this tank is more than twice as big as my tank - and I remember moving mine when we were building our house --- it took 14 guys to move it - no easy task. We had to move the tank during the framing stages and even though we have a walkout, we still had to get it through the window and in to the fish room, which was framed after the fact. I don't think there's an easy way to move that tank out of the basement.

Gary,

Could be that gnu-reefer's post is a hoax

Anyway, what are you gonna do with this tank if you get it? BTW, my question is real, no hoax I'm very interested in what the folks who have asked to take this tank are planning to do with it.

WOW. If someone does setup up this tank I would love to see the finished result. I think I'm lucky this offer is in Calgary, otherwise I might be tempted to sell my car or something and set that beast up.

I saw this post late so sent him a pm ... my idea was to use the glass to build my 660G and the leftover for the sump ... would definately have to disassemble and then get cut to size 96X48X32

WOW, that's gonna be hell to move. Not only do they need a walkout basement, they also need 4 feet wide double doorway.

at 2000lbs, you'll need 10 strong lads to help you out.
