It will be the buyers responsibility to supply and coordinate all resources necessary to move the tank from my residence. I will support and advice in every way I can. Be advised, this aquarium is the real thing and will take commitment and planning on the buyers part to move and setup successfully. That being said, this aquarium is complete, professional, and will impress.
