Large Tank Deal - would you take it?

[Bupharm12]

Hey everyone, I currently have a 120g mixed reef that’s been setup for just over a year. I was just recently offered a 72 x 24(w) x 34 (h) tank for free if I can move it. It was an in-wall tank built with a house and is now empty in the garage. The guy said it’s thick (probably 3/4 inch glass) and obviously heavy. Comes with sump and plumbing. The drive is about 70 miles from my house through Houston.

Space for the tank is not an issue and I wouldn’t set up probably for a while so it only needs to make it to my garage for now.

Would you guys take it? I’m trying to figure out if we could move it on a rental equipment trailer? Or do I need to rent a truck with a tailgate lift? I will have 1-2 other guys so lifting needs to be minimized. Would be rolled on multiple furniture dollies. The offer surprised me but I’m a little overwhelmed trying to plan logistics and if it’s worth the trouble. I appreciate any advice.

If I was younger and the tank was in good shape yes. I was givin a tank for free once cause the owner simply didn't want it anymore. I kept it running for a few years

If its 3/4" glass that's almost as much glass as my WB 330.7 which was over 600 lbs dry. I hired movers and they had 5 guys and I helped. They had no lift equipment.

If you can make trip I would take it. I drove 3 hours from Las Cruces to Albuquerque NM to pick up a 180 gallons ( 72x 24x24) in a Cherokee Jeep
