Moving my 120

get three other guys and rent suction cups handles for the glass. I bet you could move it.

 

Are you going to have a bunch of stuff in the tank, or just the tank alone? I have helped put 180's in other peoples houses and up to a 150 in my own basement a while back. It's really not bad aslong as there is not a bunch of sand/rock in the tank. A coupple of buddies are useful, I have never used the suction cups personally but I would think they would make it a fair bit easier.

Old school... Stand in front of it and let it slide down the stairs. Why break your back carrying it lol

 

^^ x2. I slid my 120 down the stairs and had no issues........too impatient to wait for help.

 

Sounds like you might have a small problem overcome. When are you wanting to move it? I can see if I can break free.

 

No way should you try to move it by yourself. My 180 weighed 340lbs empty. I can't imagine a 120 is that much lighter. 3 guys minimum. I also used a refrigerator dolly, but with mixed results. I don' think I could have gotten it moved without it, but it wasn't perfect by any stretch.

As for the suction cups, I looked all over for them and couldn't find them in Iowa City. Maybe you'd have better luck in CR, but ultimately with the clearance you have, the probably wouldn't work amyway.

 

It'll work.

 

me and a buddy carried my oceanic rr down the stairs i know your pain it sucked

 

We moved our 135 up to the third floor by sliding it up the stairs to the landing then stood it on end and pushed it to the next set of steps and laid it back down and repeated the process up 3 flights of stairs and did the same thing to move it back out of the apartment when we moved in July and it didn't do any damage just make sure there is nothing on the floor that might scratch the glass or acrylic. Good Luck
