It wasnt so bad with the help i had, we had 4 guys: 2 large, 1 old and me (not large). Used a flat dolly for across mainfloor, then slid it down the stairs on the plywood base. I was lucky to have a tall enough staircase to stand it on end and no tight turns.

Well i thought i was going to hold off on sps for a while, but i think ive got my flow dialed in to accomodate high flow areas and low flow areas aswell as low light areas. Im using gyres to have a vertical top to bottom flow around the outside and a jebao 15 to break it up in the middle on one end. So the end of the peninsula is a bit calmer, less light but still nothing settling on the bottom.

right, darker calm side


left, brighter and more flow

Tagging along, I'm going to be ordering pretty much the same dimensions tank from Denny soon, but not Starphire. Yours looks good!

I was worried about the depth and aquascaping but it is plenty of space... height is great too, I can reach the bottom! The hardest/best part is having it look good from both sides.
