Well, I don’t think David is in houston anymore and I’m not sure what other options for moving a tank there are. Has anyone used these guys before?

You can try regular movers -most are insured and probably cheaper. Regular movers moved my previous 500/g. They don’t care if it’s glass or acrylic.

Anyone can move a tank. Professional movers, professional tank movers, or any individual, makes no difference.

I used a professional aquarium mover to move my Reef Savvy into my home from my driveway. I made a custom 2x6 stand with very expensive casters that were smooth AF. All they had to do was break down the crate and lift the tank to stand and wheel it into my home. They charged $375.00, and still bashed a 5 figure tank into my front door, door jam and scratched the FRONT panel. All I got was a an apology and a shoulder shrug. The owner was great, his help, not so much. My point is, no matter who moves it, find someone or some people that are competent and care and/or willing to reimburse (insured) to cover any incidentals.
