Aquarium & Fish Tank Moving in Leicester — FAQ
How much does it cost to move an aquarium?
A small tank locally typically costs £60–£150. Large display tanks or moves with stairs range £150–£400+. Size, weight and access are the main factors.
Should the tank be empty before moving?
Yes — always drain the water and remove gravel, rocks and ornaments before the move. A full tank is far too heavy and the weight can crack the glass. Fish and water should be transported separately by you.
Do movers transport the fish and water?
No — for the welfare of livestock, you should move fish and water yourself in suitable containers. Movers handle the empty tank, stand and equipment.
Can large display tanks be moved?
Yes, but big tanks are heavy and fragile and need team lifting kept perfectly level to avoid stressing the silicone seams. State the dimensions and glass thickness when posting.
What details should I include when posting?
Tank dimensions and approximate empty weight, glass or acrylic, whether there is a stand, cabinet or sump, floor levels and access at both ends.
Are tanks insured during the move?
This depends on the driver Goods in Transit cover. For large or high-value tanks, confirm the driver insurance limit before accepting their bid.
