glass lifting suction cups

Spdjnky · Sep 12, 2019

Hi I need to move my new aquarium to get it in the right place as my pre plan was off a little. The aquarium is up there but I can't get it right without something to lift it with. It's a 48"x24"x16" Rimless. Amazon has a few of them like double ones that say rated for 200 lbs that I could put on each end so we could lift it a bit and get it right.
There are a few different ones looking for help or if anyone has used them.
I can't think of another way and they will be one time use

Maybe lift it up with those and slide a piece of wood underneath it and use it as extra support (obviously requires another pair of hands to help out). I would feel a little scared lifting up the tank with just the suction cups alone even though theoretically they should be fine. The wood underneath would just be a redundant safety measure which is never really a bad thing!

We moved my Waterbox 230.6 using these and some furniture dolly's. These things are strong, I tried them on a 10gallon tank and couldn't even get full suction because the glass would have broken under the CRAZY suction these provide.
