No — all aquariums must be fully drained and emptied before we move them. For the safety of your tank and your aquatic life, we recommend relocating your fish separately using proper temporary transport containers.
We specialize in transportation only. You’ll need to drain the tank and remove any live animals, plants, and water prior to your move. Once your tank is empty and clean, we’ll handle the rest — safely and efficiently.
We use glass grips, padded dollies, corner guards, soft crating, and secure strapping to ensure every part of your tank — including the base and frame — is fully protected during loading, transport, and unloading.
Yes — if your tank is removable, we can move it. For built-in or wall-mounted tanks, we recommend working with your contractor to detach it before we arrive. We’ll take it from there.
Pricing depends on the size, weight, and complexity of the tank, as well as stairs, disassembly needs, and distance. Reach out for a quick quote — we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect.
Absolutely. We move tanks for restaurants, offices, schools, and other commercial spaces. With the right planning and equipment, we can handle even the most challenging setups.
