Hello,

I'm need advice . I might need to relocate in a few months. Due to this potential move, I'm hesitant to invest more in my setup at the moment.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations on services who can help on this move. Additionally, if anyone could share insights how much this might cost.

Its a 80 Gallon Fiji Cube tank + sump

Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions!

I just moved a 280 from my previous home to a new one. The tank was on the main floor of the old house but it's in the basement at the new house.
I moved all the equipment and livestock myself ahead of time. I had 6 temporary tanks to hold it all.
I checked with my lfs as to how much they would charge just to carry it down the outside steps into the basement and they wanted $400.
I built a ramp to slide the tank down the steps and hired 4 guys to carry it out of the old house to a trailer, and help me slide it down the steps into the basement.
I offered them $100 each no one would take it except one guy who got $60 since he only helped with the basement part.
This included moving the stand and canopy as well.
My move was only about 10 miles so it might not apply to your situation.
