I have a 65 gallon Aquarium full of Corals, I want to get out of my Shop Area, and over to the other aquariums. I’m thinking about Draining it down, using one of the Amazon Furniture moving kits, for the Forty feet move. Wetting the Corals along the way. Has anyone one else done this? What Furniture moving kit did you use? BTW, The stand is very sturdy, and I added reinforcements to it when I reconditioned it.

Use a bunch of pvc pipes under and roll it the entire way. Like the Egyptians of old.

I’ve moved Computer Room AC’s and Power Conditioning Equipment using Pipe. The problem with it is it can damage the wood, also I have to make multiple turns, and go over a tile lip. Furniture Sliders were pushed out by the grout seams. I did use some Acrylic Squares to move my 120 gallons stand and Aquarium into position while it was empty.

I guess you could fashion some acrylic squares and heat them and bend the edges up so they do not get caught on anything.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
