    Hi all!

    Purchasing myself a new monster tank on the weekend, a 3M beauty :laugh:

    I how ever do not have a vehicle big enough to transport a 3M cabinet tank, so hoping one you may know of a reasonably priced company that can move the tank for me?
    Based in southern suburbs cape town. Any details will be much appreciated!

    Thanks.

    Hire trailer, some old car tires and some blankets + polystyrene and you are good to go.
    Oh and a bottle of Branna's for the nerves hehe:cheers:

    4 of us moved a 2m tank. It was not a pleasant experience. Do yourself a favour and go on a fish tank calculator feed in the dimensions and glass thickness. It will tell you how much it weighs. 3m is long!! That is a single can bakkie or a long trailer. The 2m hung out the back of a double cab tray.
