I found a new CDA tank in southern California that fit my specs but I need to handle the logistic. Anyone have any suggestion to pickup or ship or know anyone often go North>South California that can help on this task? tank is 48x24x28 ~ 120ish gallon.

I’ve done it many times in the 2000’s. I did a leemar 300 and 190 two different times. I did the stand and canopy too. Just packed everything in my e150 van. Buy some sheet insulation from Home Depot and straps. All good.

@fishy408 and I recently ordered some rock scapes from Reef Rock Oasis. He also made a ton of them for Aquarium Depot in Sacramento. What he did was rent a van, drove the stuff down here, and then returned the van at the SF airport and flew home. You could possible to the same thing but opposite. Fly down there, rent a van to load the tank, drive it up here and return at a local airport drop off. Of course there’s expenses involved that will add onto the tank cost. I think it’d be cheaper than shipping the tank here though
