My brother in law is giving me a 140g acrilic bow front with all the marine filters, lights, etc. The whole nine yards. The only problem is that the tank is in West Palm Beach and I am in Memphis. How do I get the darn thing up here? Will a shipping company move it for me?

Would it be cheaper to fly down, rent a truck and drive back? I have a car that will pull a small U-Haul trailer. It takes about 300 dollars in gas to go round trip and at least two nights in a motel, plus the highway food and all the other stuff involved in driving that far. It's almost exactly 1,000 miles one way. I just got back today from a visit there.

Regardless, what a deal. This is a super tank, no straches, half cylinder with everything super quality, set up for salt water. Free for the taking. I've just got to figure a way to get it here.

Check with ups air frieght and such. To ship it, it will need a crate built around it with
2 x 4's so it won't get broken or scratched. You may end up finding it would be cheaper to go get it. Shipping will be high because of the weight of the crate.
