I need to move and set up a tank

I just purchased RR 72 gallon working bowfront and I need to move and set it up. I have been reading (books and online) and it seems a fairly simple chore as long as you have a day to do it and a good plan. But are there LFSs in the area that do this sort of service and what do they charge. The move will be about 20 miles....Flower Mound to Colleyville. I have been a lurker on this board for a couple of months and have learned alot. I wanted to make sure I wanted to do this before I took the plunge. I look forward to a long relationship with DFWMAS and please don't laugh if I ask a stupid question
Thanks
David
 
Hi David,

Welcome - and now you're stuck. No more lurk-mode for you. Once you post, you can never stop. (That's my excuse anyway. )

Here's my article on moving a tank.

Each LFS (local fish store) will price it differently. Some price it high just because they don't want to do it / if they do it they'll get well paid. Just my opinion based on what I've heard. Call around to see what they'll charge, and ask if they'll warranty their part (what if they drop your tank and break it, etc...)

I'd just move it myself, and get help from others if possible.
