Moving along with the installation of a different tank, we'll go ahead to deliver a tank. The first picture is of the tank in the back of the truck. You can see two suction cups on the end of the tank. These help to lift and slide the tank, without risking getting a finger stuck underneath. To the right of the tank, the white block is a large section of styrofoam, to place under the tank once it is on the lift table. We needed the extra nine inches of the foam block given the height of the stand, 39", and the maximum height of the table is 36".
In this picture, you can see the tank on the lift table, with the styro blocks under it. Also, you can note three people, plus myself, to deliver the tank. It makes a lot of sense to have extra hands when moving a large fish bowl. You can't see it, but to the right in the picture, we went down a ramp into the parking garage, to use the service elevator to go to the second floor. We nearly had a mishap at the bottom of the ramp, when the large metal gate at the entrance to the garage started to close, just as we were rolling the tank under it. It took two of us to keep the gate up, away from the tank. It would have been the strangest way I've ever seen to break a tank. 
I wish I had some in between pictures, rather than jumping to a shot of the tank in place, but this may have been the easiest tank delivery I have ever done, for a tank of this size. It went very smoothly, in part because of preplanning the route to the office, and making sure (with a tape measure) the tank would be able to make the tighter turns. Once we had the lift table next to the stand, everything was done before I could even reach for the camera. You can see the overflow (black box) in the middle of the tank. In this case, the customer is planning for the tank to be in the middle of the room, so it would be viewable from all four sides. This is why the overflow is in the middle of the tank, and not any side. 
Lastly, you can see two desks on either end of the tank. The people that work at thses desks are going to have a very nice view by just turning their heads a bit. More to come as the installation nears completion.
