Ya, I guess. A buddy and I carried my 180 from the road, up the stairs and into the kitchen, figured a 150 being smaller wouldn't really need suction cups :redface: Guess it depends on who's carrying it too

a 150g is closer to 200lb i think are 180g its just a guy on each end and go. big hint don't set it on the ground the lift to carrying height sucks

My tank is only about 80g with 1/2" glass so I had the wife help me carry it downstairs. I heard about it for a month afterwards! Just give guys beer and they don't complain.

Tank wasn't that heavy, handles make the move so easy especially when you are going down the stairs! Plus we had some help ;)

Glad it went well! My tank isn't very heavy either but with no bracing on it to get some grip suction cups would have made life easier. I didn't even consider them at the time.
