I tried contacting a couple movers on Craigslist but no responses yet. Does anyone have recommendations on how to get help moving a tank? I am in Arvada. This is the display tank for a Red Sea Reefer XL 525 and has to get moved up a half stair from garage into the house and onto the stand. Also, what is the going rate for something like this?
Need help moving a 270lb 5' x 2' tank from garage into house

How about 3pm? I live near 86th and Indiana in the Village of Five Parks neighborhood.
The suction cups at Harbor Freight were pretty wimpy small ones. I had an issue when helping to move in my granite countertops and those were far larger than the ones Harbor sells. Instead, I picked up two of the 6' lifting slings that have loops on each end making it easy to hold onto. I think if we put them both under the tank and had 4 people total (3 + me) then we could each grab an end and make it relatively easy (around 70 lb load each).
While you are here, you can make fun of how much I overspent on all my equipment
. This is a big upgrade from 30g all-in-one system so advice will be welcomed. If you can do 3pm, PM me and I will send exact address.
