    With a little help from your friends.

    Nothing should be in the tank with you move it. Is this a glass or acrylic tank, find that out because it helps to know and makes a big difference on the weight.

    Okay. So man and or women power lol it is glass for sure I've seen it and asked for it many times lol he woke me up today with the good news. It looks heavy. But it does not have a canopy he had fresh water in there. The stand its on is wood. Has doors and everything. So I guess friends and uhual van should do the trick. Btw this is the most helpful forum ever !

    so i juat picked up my 125 long.

    So I just picked up my 125 long tank. I'm sure of gallon because its about 7 feet long about two feet high and a lil wider then a foot maybe 1 1/2 feet wide. No sump or anything else. Just tank and a wooden stand for it. Going to take my time and do this right. Tank seems a bit skinny would want wider but can't complain it was free. I'm excited hopefully over next month I can buy all equipment. Going to take thus slow and build a beautiful reef

    Be forewarned that with tangs you may have to deal with Marine Ich. Great fish but tangs become symptomatic with ich very easily.

    I like the Gold banded shrimp for the 30 gallon.

    Coral banded shrimp are nice but become monsters as they get larger. It may kill the goby.
