Moving Tank Help Question

[Prime Minister]

Ok got a question...i am moving from my apartment and will need to move my tank. So this is what i am thinking and need some info on what i am doing and what i need to do. <u>First thing...i am not in a financial situation to purchase anything because all my $$ is going toward moving</u>. I have a 75 rr with a 29 gallon refug... I have a Eheim 1260 pump that i will have retro fitted to two garden hoses. My plan is to pump water from the tank into a trashcan in the back of my truck. So the question is do you think the Eheim is strong enough to do this. now my apartment is on the second level but how my apartment building is made the second level is kinda flush with the ground level..i only have 8 steps. So i don't have much gravity to depend on. So what are ya'lls take?

That pump is good for 12' at the head for 1" line. I assume you have 2 hoses at 25' each. 50' of 5/8 hose, it might work if the slop is enough but you have to go up into the back of the truck. A concern is overheating your pump and than you are out $$.

where are you located?
