On Saturday (8/14/2010), I purchased a new 245 G (72Lx30Wx36T). The only problem is that I only had my cousin to help move the tank once I got it home. Here is how we managed to do it.
1) First we removed the tank from my van onto a wagon that had inflatable wheels. (Notice we used the suction cups, they were a life saver)
2) Next we nailed 2x8s to the stairs to slide the tank down on.
3) Next we pulled the wagon and lined the tank up to go through the door. (Sorry don't have a pic of this)
4) Down the stairs we go. My cousin used the suction cups to help guide the tank down while I was on bottom. Here are the pics of us going down the stairs.
5) Once we got is down the stairs, we positioned it in its temporary destination until I can build a stand and start building it in the wall.
In the end this took us about an hour, which included the time take the doors and put them back on. Everything and everyone made it through unscathed. My cousin and I managed to play a soccer game the day after we moved it.
