The Aquarium is 120 Gallon, Weighing at 300 lbs, 48” x 24” x 24” I’m building a Custom Bottom Pallet for it to also act as a Sled to slid it down the Stairs. Wondering about using Suction Cups to help with the Lifting. Saw these on Amazon.

Those work ok, but they are only good for about 75 pounds each, and you have to be certain that they are well attached. I would highly recommend the larger 8" suction cups that have a built in pump to set the vacuum AND VISABLE INDICATION THAT THE VACUUM IS DECAYING.

Getting hurt sucks, and medical bills are expensive.

I’m Back to trying to get my Wife to sew some straps. She said to just hire out the move, but I still need something to “Grab” the Aquarium with. Getting out of the house where it’s located at isn’t a problem, as he has the guys and relatives with a glass shop. My local glass shop said they would move it, and now are balking.

Buy or rent some 8-10" suction cups and never look back. I promise you it's worth it.
