4 people to move a 120p with soil, plants and fish still in there. It was ok.

How heavy is a 120p rimless tank? Can two people move it empty?

Definitely second / 3rd getting a solid set of suction cup handles
I have a 120x60x70 / 12 mm that about killed two of us just to get off the truck and up a small flight of stairs without them.. it's really hard to grip
100+ pounds each isn't much to lift.. unless it's just your fingertips

Sale at ARC on large tanks. I could get this uncommon size 120p+, with the cool modern mitered corners for $1,240 with free local pickup/shipping!
Very tempting...

But don't forget to add on the price of a Hyperspot FL.

You know me well!But don't forget to add on the price of a Hyperspot FL.
The good news is that my 90S experiment tank has the FL on it, but a FM would cover it just fine. I'll move the FL to this tank, and keep one of the FM from the 150p tank when I sell it.
I have an ADA 120p ( 120x50x50 ). My stepson and I carried it up the stairs from the basement to the living room. We didn't do it with the greatest of ease, but it was doable. I'll second the recommendation to get some suction cups. It would have made moving it easier had I gone that route.
That's the one I bought! Seems like a well made tank. My wife and I lifted the tank fairly easily, but she's a strong lady.
Surprised they don't sell them as a set of 4. Is it OK just to have one on each side to steady it and your bare hand is good enough on the other side?

Did you start a journal for it yet? I'd love to see!

I haven't used them on the sides for tanks I've moved. I stick one on each end and it's worked fine so far. We'll see how that goes when my Waterbox 120P arrives. It should be about the same weight as what Rocco is looking at. Each suction cup can handle hundreds of pounds though. It's just a matter of you being able to lift the end via the one handle. I moved a 90 gallon rimmed tank down and up the stairs from my basement with 2 of us with no problem but I imagine it was a good deal lighter than the 120P.
