Hey guys,
I find myself in a bit of a predicament. The place that I ordered my new 75g from doesn't offer delivery... and so I'm tasked with getting the thing into my new second floor apartment by myself.
Have friends help, right? Too bad I'm a few thousand miles away from anyone I know!
I've moved everything up to a 60 by myself, but the dimensions made it manageable. The problem with a 75 is that it's 98lbs in 48x18x21 - it's a bit too awkward even for my large bearhugging capability. If anyone has suggestions on how to get this thing from the truck into the apartment, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I thought I might be able to use a fridge dolly and some ratcheting tie-downs to hold it to a piece of plywood to haul it up the stairs but I've never tried anything like that before so I really have no idea.
Thanks!
