I recently picked up a 96x38x27 acrylic tank. I currently have it on its face on 2 dollys in my garage. Can I leave it on its face on the 2 dollys? If it needs to be upright, can it rest on the dollys? It will be there until I have some extra hands to do some work on it and get it on its stand. I’m not totally sure on the timeframe. I would like to leave it on its face on the dollys since I won’t have any help, but can figure out how to get it moved upright if needed. Open to any and all opinions and help. Thanks.

Im assuming the material is the same thickness on every panel so it shouldn’t matter too much which panel you choose to let it rest on. You can place additional supports in the middle of the tank/dollies to break the weight up a bit from the 2 points.
Do you know how much weight the dollies are rated for? Thatd b my only concern. Also assuming its on its face to both get it through a door and to distribute the weight better on the dollies. If u leave it on dollies on the larger tank width id worry more of the material cracking. If alot is hanging over make sure to support the corners with stacked 2x4’s to help with weight distribution.
