getting big tank through the window

[bkelly]

Looks like I am getting a big tank 220 gal - 6'x30 high x24 deep my first challenge aside from moving a fully established system across town is getting it into the basement. The easiest way is through a window - but Id have to put it on its side to fit - so wanted to ask if being on its side is a big risk for cracking the glass dont want a pail of fish waiting for their new relocated home and it breaks - anyone got any experience with this -the tank hs double trim bracing its an All Glass Aquarium. the other option is down a tight stair well leading to the basement door - some tight corners. do those suction holders work well?
thanks brent
