    I'm sure I'll need a few hands to help move this thing LOL. Still trying to figure out the best way to do the move without losing anything.

    I do have a screw cab silverado which has a 6' bed that we could probably fit the tank and stand in.  I also have a class 4 tow hitch if we could find a trailer to load things onto / into.  Now carrying it in the house is going to be a chore lol.  I just got my 125g in the house and downstairs and that thing was heavy as heck!

    My dad has a full size van I'm going to see if I can borrow. And I will probably borrow/rent a small utility trailer to tow down as well. The tank itself is listed at 360lbs empty. Its gonna take 4 guys to get this thing moved. I figure I'll throw up a post when time gets closer and see if a couple of Des Moines locals would be willing to help out on that end, and a couple CR guys would lend a hand when I get it back to town.

    Getting the it out of my place shouldn't be to hard, I actually unloaded and got it in the house by myself, I have a chain link fence that I removed a section...then backed up to my deck and unscrewed a few 2x2's and slid it right on to the deck and on into the house on cardboard, It will work the same way to get it back out again. Depending on when you come get it I might be able to have people here to get it done. The biggest issue I see is getting the livestock and rock back to your place alive.
