Will the tank fit

[fishdance]

As space is tight, don't build a mock-up tank that is flexible, even thin wood will move too much. Ask me how I know...

If your existing stands are steel or correctly build wood, is very simple to move them around with a hydraulic car jack and several small platform trolleys. Invest in low height ones so you don't need to jack up much or build own. You still need to drain almost all the water to move the tank but substrate and fish can remain.

If all else fails, it's quite easy to add an extension onto a tank so you can lengthen or widen or go around a corner or even surround a fish room structural post on any tank provided you don't mind a visible seam. This is no different from having a corner seam if you think about it. I've joined 3 and 4 tanks together and there isn't a limit.

Say you have an 8 x 2 x 2 tank and you want to replace this with a wider tank but your door is only 2.5 foot wide.

Just add an 8 x 2 tank extension onto your first tank to create an 8 x 4 x 2 foot tank.

You would need to cut this extension off when it's time to move but it's only silicone.

If you are building a new house, you also have the option of moving a big tank in before the outside and inside walls are completed. That's what we did. We moved the stand and tank in before the walls and windows were completed.




Tank and stand were moved with a pallet jack when the inside walls were done.



Fish room was basically constructed around the tank
