Lifting up a tank??

[axl]

Hi,
i have set up my 450ltr planted discus tank and i put some carboard under 1 corner of the cabinet because the floor is uneven and want to no is there anyway we can lift the cabinet up to get the cardboard out.??? I want to get the tank level again. Any Suggestions Cheers Axl

That's a tricky one... sounds like you'll have to drain at least 75 % of the water first... you've got half a tonne to move otherwise!!

i guess it depends how much its out by... if its only a little bit it might be worth waiting to see if the cardboard compacts under the weight over the next week or so..

Sorry to state the obvious... Good Luck!

The most important thing about lifting a tank with even 10-15% water remaining inside it, that it carries the risk of making the corners loose and God forbid, the tank may leak when you refill again. I know its very tough to take all the water out and then move it, but then, better be safe than sorry.
