Tank move (1 Viewer)

[JCSReefing]

looking for some help. I am in need of thoughts/help. I have an Innovative Marine 200g EXT. 71”x30”x21” roughly weighing about 500lbs maybe a bit more. I don’t have suction cups and is going from my garage to my house (about 40ft) didn’t honk it would be so much heavier than my current 150g but it is lol. Any thoughts or anyone interest who has moved larger tanks of this weight that has the equipment? I reached out to a couple local shops but no response.

I highly recommend using David. He's very professional and knows his stuff. He helped me move a 900lb aquarium with ease.

Also, if you do not have stairs and have the means, I highly suggest you just build a temporary stand with wheels to use as a cart to move the tank. The only lifting you will have to do is moving from one stand to the other. Example below...

I moved a heavy tank with some moving grade 8” diameter suction cups. They seemed sketchy at first but definitely had no problem gripping it and staying attached
