Hey everyone . I'm picking up my new tank from my LFS in two weeks (IM 150 Ext) . My main concern is how to protect the bottom during during transport since there is no rim to protect it . Should I lay down some yoga mats on the floor of the uhual ? Any tips will be greatly appreciated . I already have suction cups covered as well as my cousins to help with the lifting.
 
If it's not boxed up Id recommend rigid foam board.
 
I believe newly delivered tanks have foam + cardboard on the perimeter already which is sufficient.
Definitely recommended to have yoga mats/foam mats though to alleviate any pressure points due to unevenness though in the case where it doesn't.
