    We could use 20 minutes of help to load the 500 gallon tank into a trailer this Thursday in Cresco if anyone can help.





    Earlier the better if posssible.

    I'd help if I were from NE Iowa. It is it the holiday season so it's the thought that counts right?

    We were hoping for about 11 am. The sides are 1 1/2 he said, so I bet it is all of 500 lbs. I have 3 dollys, so we basically have to lift it from the stand down to the dollys, and roll it out, then lift into trailer.

    Glass is roughly 156 IBS/ cu ft. The front panel 4x8x.1 would weigh 520 IBS. Correct?

    Don't know about that, but the tank is acrylic so it's not as bad.

    Oh, that makes a big difference.

    Just found a figure of 74 IBS/ cu ft. Cut the weight in half
