Moving a Large Tank

[dbmet]

So I'm considering getting a 200 gallon tank and stand from San Antonio.. What would be the best way to move this to Victoria Tx?
Rent a uhaul? maybe rent a Cargo Van?

are you trying to keep any live rock, fish coral alive on the move. if its just a tank stand and equipment just get a truck big enough for it. if you have livestock thats a whole other project

Just looking to move the tank and stand that's already empty.

Wonder if I get a cargo van if I can just hire movers in San Antonio to load it.

u haul truck would be easiest prob a friend with a truck depending on dimensions of tank and stand.

I would hire Erik, this was his 200 that we recently moved. Maybe post when you want to move and a couple of MAAST members can assist on the loading? I would also make sure the vehicle has a soft suspension, you don't want to use a bumpy trailer. You could use a 1/2 ton pickup with an 8' bed, place the tank in first, and turn the stand at a slight angle with plenty of blankets and styrofoam for padding straping everything down? The Uhaul would be the best bet.

How do I hire Erik? Hehe. I may put a call out just don't know a lot of people In San Antonio since I live in Victoria
