Moving my aquarium help?

Hi I have a 28g nano cube. It came with the stand and I have had the set up for about 3 weeks. But now I would like to move my tank over about 3-4 feet. It is on food floors right now and I really want to move it a little. Is there any ways to accomplish this?

 

I would Take a few gallons out, then get down on the floor and push the bottom of the stand in the direction you want to go. Make sure you push from as low on the bottom as you can get. Or you can sit on your butt and use your feet. Push slowly and stop easy, to keep the tank from sloshing to much. I've had to do it this way. Not fun when you set up the tank and a little while later find out that it'll look better over there.

 

take about 6 gallons out, that will remove almost 50 lbs, then get a friend and lift from either side, at that point, the tank will weight around 250 lbs with everything, which should be manageable between two people, granted they are strong. good luck!

 

Moving a tank with water in it is a no no..... The tank is no designed for this. Now add the weight of wet sand and rock and the weight is even worse. A 28gal to move safely I would remove at least 20 to 24gal IMO.

Quick question what all do you have inside of it??? Is it currently filled with rock coral fish?? If you don't have corals or much livestock I would recommend siphoning out as much water as you can, like maybe down to the top of the rocks into buckets so after you move it u can just put the water back in water itself weighs around 10 lbs a gallon so I'd fed recommend takin as much out as u can store before the big move btw is love a pic of the tank
