Title: Anyone have a van or enclosed trailer?
Post by: Marty on February 18, 2014, 03:33:12 PM

The club is purchasing 10 - 50 gallon aquariums from Over The Edge to donate to the Belle Isle Aquarium for use in the back area as holding tanks/quarantine, etc. 

Now the issue is, how to get them from OTE to Belle Isle.

2 pickups would be just fine.

My Yukon held my 6' 195g with room to spare.

Depending on the year your Yukon should be 48.??"between the back wheels. It should fit 5 of them.

I myself am driving a pickup & it'll be useless to haul tanks, because they'll just bounce around & break.

Well you don't just toss them back there and do nothing to secure them.

I have a f-150,6' bed. If all else fails we could put them in a couple pick ups,pack around them with styro,strap them in and get them over there. I'm available most days.
