Who has suction cups to rent?

Does anyone have suction cups for moving a big tank for rent?

If no one has any, try sunbelt rentals especially at lowes if you have one close by you. Thats where I was able to rent mine.

Theres no safety in cups like two hands holding on to the tank.

I agree but we would have died without them moving my 160 gallon tank. It was 4 of us with 2 cups, so two guys were supporting the tank with hands. Putting the tank down on the stand safely is where the cups really come into use without worrying about smashing your fingers. So yes it can be done without, but I wouldn't dare try it without them. And trust me I was scared as hell, worried about the suction giving way!!!

Thanks for the heads up going to build a 125g or 150g

You can use a looped strap so there is a loop to grab on. After it's set 3 can lift up a corner and one lift the strap out.

We used a couple suction cups towards the end of moving my 610g. They seemed pretty solid even with the amount of force we gave them.
