if your tank is 105g then it shouldn't be to heavy, 2 adults should be able to move it no problem. I'd empty it right out before moving it though, no need to risk anything. Also on a side note just wondering how big is your fahaka and what are the measurements of that tank? It's probably pretty close to the same size tank I have my fahaka in

If you're currently on carpet all you need are some shims, a hammer, and some heavy cardboard. Partially drain the tank, remove Fahaka, gently drive shims under long sides of the tank about 1/4 of the way from the end (one end at a time), slide cardboard under tanks narrow end, work shims out so the tank rests on cardboard. Make sure you leave enough cardboard sticking out so that if you need to turn the tank you have something to grab. This slides across carpet like a sled. If you're on hardwood or linoleum you can do the same with old towels.
