Looking to borrow tank moving suction cups
 
Does anyone have some tank moving suction cups that I could borrow and/or rent... Doing a 150 galllon tank move Sunday mourning :)

We have them for rent from our store. We'd need a damage deposit as well.

Suction cups are well worth the cost to rent the good ones. I have the cheap ones from princess auto but I wouldn't use them again. They slip and it's hard to get a real strong reliable grab with them.

I am definatly going to stay away from anything cheap, the money I might save isn't worth a broken tank :)

Are they really necessary for a 150g tank?

The chart I have says that a standard 150g tank weighs 338lbs, suction cups would allow more people to carry it easier at the very least.
