Ok, I have a 24x24x24 cube. It has about 80lbs of live rock in it. I trying to move the tank without taking out the fish or rock. I am going to drain all the water except a couple of inches,then going to put sliders under it to slide it about 4ft.I think I can do that. The question is,I need to spin the tank around so its facing a different direction on the stand.the stand doesnt have a solid top,just 2x4 around the outside edges.Can I do this by spinning it?, there will be contact to the stand at all times,just not around the whole bottom of the tank,just the corners at one point as your spinning it. what do you think? TY

yea that what i was thinking too, luck that is, but if he drained most of the water and only left 2-3 inches im sure it wasnt as bad as we imagined. ive moved tanks that were half full b4.

wouldnt make a habit of testing the limits tho
