Looking for help 23 or 24th (Sat/sunday) to move a big tank from a garage to my garage. Brighton to Frederick. Looking to pay $20 for 5 minutes of labor and an hour of travel. (Meet at my location and I can haul everyone to the tank and back to save gas.)

No time of day or specific day of those two set yet. Will see what I can scrounge up strong helper wise and what works for them.

Think that's 2, so should be at 4 with my brother as a +1. (Hate him though so as long as ya'll fit to carry ~100/120lbs of weight each should be good.) Yes it's the 300dd.


That big, I imagine the suction cup holders are risky right? I know my 210 was extra thick and old and lost one or two coming loose on that. Going to lay on some cardboard in my garage until I get stand fabricated. (Looking to do I think a taller metal stand forget who on here I thought did that?) Though for our backs sake, was wondering if it would be better on some sawhorses or something. (Empty shouldnt be too much weight on itself right?)

I would think three could easily hold the tank. Let me know what day and time so I can make sure with my wife we are good.

I like to plan extra's because of A: Cost of the thing, safe than sorry: B: I had a bad experience trying to move just a lowly 55g where I had 2 flake on me leaving me trying to get a running over packed system moved 50 miles on a 102 degree day solo.

Does seem to be coming together well between folk here, dead beat brother, and maybe another guy I know from FB.

You might be referring to the stand I built for my tank - it is about 45" tall...
