    Yesterday I moved from Roodepoort to Pretoria North. I got a furniture removal company ant they moved my tank. 6 guy's battle big time to pick the tank up.

    I filled the tank just after the move and cycled the tank for 3 hours with prime and a few of my tricks and the fish was moved into the tank.

    Now that is a quick move.

    Separately. I had to take insurance on the tank with the move. They've charged R1200 for the tank alone.

    Unless I had ALL the equipment to move a tank that big easily I would smile to pay somebody to do it for me. Moving a 250L tank gave me headaches.

    They battled big time to pick that tank up. They moved the 1200Liter and a 310Liter.

    That's good value IMO. Did the R1200 include insurance?
