you don't move it at all when you are assembling it. where you lay the base down is where the tank gets built and it doesn't move then untill the silicone has at least partially cured. they are very strong then, the only way to damage an empty tank is to drop it, or bang it against something hard. first thing i usually do when they are ready to move is stand them up on one end to pull all the newspaper off the bottom. most tank shapes take up a lot less room that way, and if you stand them up on a peice of carpet you can use that to drag them out of the way so you can start building the next one
