Man, this is turning into a major headache. Talking to a couple piano movers and even they’re surprised it was delivered in this way. Also, telling me that its an issue since the drive way is on a slope you can only move the crates back deeper into the garage then use a Material lift, or more likely a pallet lift to get the top crate off the bottom crate.
Here’s the weights and dimensions from Algaebarn:

In regards to the sizing of the crates the dimensions and weight will be as follows:
Tank (w/ crate) dimensions: 75x36x35
Tank (w/ crate) weight: ~644 lbs
Stand (w/ crate) dimensions: 75x36x48
Stand (w/ crate) weight: ~512 lbs

I did speak with several movers, as well as Age of Aquariums, an LFS out here is Southern California. AoA is going to get back to me Monday with a quote.
Lessson for anyone purchasing a large CADE from @AlgaeBarn —- have them separate the pallets before shipping, because literally none of this would be an issue if they just did that. Or, purchase through your local LFS or Aquarium service company because then they would at least handle these issues.
