Two guys moved the 220?
Yup. A 3rd guy hovered. You don't get in Hubby's way when there's heavy lifting to do.

I used 8 of the 10" imt ones to move my 470g thats 3/4" + euro braced inside and out. No point in saving money if it means a broken tank

Thats some serious FLEX.... :loudly-crying-face:

There is no way i could get any of my friends or me myself carrying even my 150G between 2 people.
Seriously folks? I guess we yankees (New Englanders, not the bball team) ARE made of sturdy stuff...

Let's not forget the appliance carrying strap (also harbor freight) Moose & Me Movers used... incorrectly, but still effective. Here's a snippet of video showing how much help it gave. (See it swinging?)

Deal! Come up here and drive in an ice storm!!!

You got this! I think the guys relied on the strap more than the cups. Always better to have the butter-finger-backup! Good luck!

Nah, you can have the ice storm. We lived in Nebraska for 4 years while I was in grad school. That was enough snow and ice for my lifetime!
I think I will get some straps as insurance too!!

Do not use them on a painted glass.

This is very important i should emphasize this because i almost made this mistake until my friend caught me and said no.

Do not use the suction cup things on the rear of the tank where its either wrapped or painted.

Make sure its on direct glass, and give that glass a good clean before you apply it, with a good glass cleaner and razor.
