Ive got this to move at the weekend...

Its 7ft x 2.5ft wide and 2ft tall, with about an 1" thick glass base and 12mm on the sides - so weighs a fucking tonne.

Now it took about 6 or 7 of us last time to move it, but Im not forking out for a load of beers again as I did last time...so is there an easy way to move something heavy like this? Its being moved about 50m over stone and grass

Without water it'll stay weigh a lot, I have a much smaller tank and that weighs a fair bit.

And I imagine he wouldn't be moving it with water in anyway. I hope
