How to move a tank.

[Jake_71]

I am probably be getting a fish tank stand this weekend for my 10 gallon. I am only moving it about 4 feet. I was thinking to empty about 7 gallons into a 2 gallon bucket and a 5 gallon bucket. Keep three gallons in the tank with the fish and move it. I would have my dad help me move it so I did the math if we both carried it, it would only be about 17 pounds for both of us. So I was thinking this would be a good idea. Any suggestions?

Prob about 90 pounds i think 1 gal is 8.25 or something like that. Make sure you dont shift alot of weight in the tank when moving
