Moving Larger Rimless(240 gallon) Need Help!

[TangLvr]

Hello! I am purchasing a 240 gallon rimless, and am traveling 4 hours to get it. Any packing/strapping tips? Do not want a disaster.

I planned on utilizing my 7x16 enclosed trailer.

I rented some packs of moving blankets from Uhaul to make sure I had more than enough padding all the way around. Suction cups are awesome, especially if stairs are involved.

Got the cups! Will have some foam board for the bottom. Should I wrap the sides as well? The ratchet strap it?

Either rigid foam on the sides or tons of blankets then strap it just enough to keep it in place but not stress the glass.
