    Moving a large tank?

    I just bought a new 115 gallon tank from GlassCages with the reef ready option, stand and canopy. Once I got this monster home, i realized it is not going to be an easy task getting it into my house and on the stand. The weight is pretty heavy for 2 even 3 people to bear trying to lift from...

My fear is that my canopy with my lightkit installed might be too heavy for the top of my aquarium to hold. I believe the aquarium has 1/2" glass, with 1/2" lips on...
