Yeah I talked to Chin first, he sold them. I think maybe he said he had one. I kind of need four I think.

I will talk to Wendell at OA but yeah I doubt they would rent them out.

Most equipment rental places should have them. They're very commonly used for moving large appliances but AFAIK they are the same for moving a washer/dryer or an aquarium..

I am going to keep looking for rentals. I have called a few places this morning but no luck. I thought Home Depot would have them for rent but apparently not.

Yeah one of my brothers works for Napa and they have them...he gets them for cheap but he thinks they are not going to be strong enough for a big tank. We are looking into what they are rated for. This tank is very heavy. 72"x30"x22" 1/2" sides, 3/4" bottom, trim and eurobracing.

Hi Justin,
I have 4 here (rated to 80kg each), from my windows project I did last year. Too bad you didn't mentioned it while you were here.
