Moving...

[Andygator]

Looking for some guidance on moving my Elos 100 and later something larger into my new home. Problem is the house is ten feet off the ground. There are a long set of stairs extending out from the front porch and I have considered suction cups or lifting straps. The idea of suction cups make me twitch. I wish I could just throw some extra muscle at it, but I'm moving to another state where I don't have any friends I can abuse. I do have a couple of teenage boys that could lend a hand which will probably work for the Elos, but if I step up to a much larger tank we are not gonna be able to muscle it into the house in one piece. Any suggestions? Are there moving services for this sort of thing? I guess I'll try to find a LFS and see what they recommend.

Moving tanks sucks. I bought two pairs of these when I moved my 525xl. It helps that I had three big dudes with me, but these sure helped a lot.
