Reef Bullet's 240g upgrade

[Reef Bullet]

How many guys do I need to carry an 8x2x2?

Anybody know approximately how much it would weigh?

 

[pgr11]

six guys would be ideal

I'd say 350 lbs but feels like 500. At least 6 people or 4 yoked out dudes. If you had it on a crate you can wheel it in with furniture movers on wheels or slides. Trust me through the door way is the hardest part. Moving it forward ain't sh!t it's those tight squeezes, that's where you need the extra hands

Can u get the suction cups would make it so much easier.

Not to mention if the stand is over 36" tall it's a pain to lift. Ask me how I know😉😉

Do they have a harbor freight out there. I saw some suction cups they had that would be perfect. They also have small moving dollies that would work perfect like esteban said. Hopefully it's a straight shot into the house.

Yeah but through the doorway you can only really fit a person on each end right? My husband is a big guy... a "yoked out dude", and he said that tank I sold with the chip in it was probably about 650lbs. He did that with one other guy, not nearly as strong, but they only lifted it off the truck and carried it through the front door and then they slid it the rest of the way on carpet with cardboard under it. I was soooo nervous and just knew they were gonna drop it but he's a stubborn ***

Ask Scott about lifting it 48". Poor guys fingers got caught under lucky there was foam.

Fly me out ill help

I doubt it's over 450lbs mine wasn't over 400 at 225g with euro bracing.

I agree but I doubt if anyone around here has those. There is a guy my husband works with who's been in the hobby over 20 years and he told him he has seen those fail and it was a bad day for those tank owners. He doesn't trust them at all.

 

[wickedfish]

I don't trust em either! But if you can't get guys you are stuck

The stand is only about 30" tall. We're gonna modify it and build it up on the top and bottom to about 38"

Yes we do and it couldn't be any straighter right to where it's going to sit

Thanks Omar

Here it is

But we're gonna modify the stand/canopy by sanding it down, staining it darker, raising it up taller, and adding moulding, ultimately making it look more like this

 

[turbonut]

How heavy is a 240g glass tank?

How do you plan on raising the stand? And what's your equipment list look like ?good looking tank btw. Has mad potential😊
