I got a marineland 125 gal dual overflow tank. I had help moving it into my basement. I'm finally dinevpeicing everything together. Now I'm ready to tear down my 75 gallon dt an move t hff at our and replace it with the 125 gal tank. Both tanks are in the basement. What sunction cups are recommended to move the tank? The ones I'm looking at are 19.99 or something like that and able to handle 125 lbs. But I need them to handle atleast 230 lbs. Recommendations please?

That size tank you may not even need them. Me and the wife did my 90 with just the 2 of us. Wasn't bad.

2-3 strong guys will easily do it and safely. ASSURE stand is very level before placing tank in its' new location. Consider also a rubber leveling mat, even a yoga mat under the tank.

I just plan on leveling the stand. Since the floor is at a small slope. I don't see the need for a leveling mat since I'm using the stand that came with the tank.

I stood my 120 on one end which was on a towel, moved it from the stairs to the back room, tilted it back to the stand and picked up the other end, was much easier than I thought.
