Does anyone have any suction cups I could borrow to move a tank with on Saturday?

I'll call them tomorrow to see how much they would charge me to rent them

Just test them first. I had one out of 6 that would slowly lose suction over time. Never used them since.

A to Z Rental has them too, $20 a day for the pair.

How big of a tank are you moving? I don't think they are necessary in most cases, at least up to 210 gallon tanks.

I've never used them, but I believe you. FWIW, me and my neighbor move my 210 around; and as Allan pointed out in another thread, I'm a tiny guy. I did look into them when I bought my 150, but never bought any because of the cost. For a six-pack (less than suction cup rentals) I'll help you move the tank :)

I ended up just buying some from harbor freight. They're rated for 200 lbs apiece.
