Does the rock has a hole? If so what I did with my rocks was put a rope through the hole and gently lower it on to the tank bottom with me grabbing the rope loop. Get a friend to help if you need.

I guess you can get a pulley system going but that is going overboard.

im not gona do it. i picked it up like 4 times and started only to lose my nerves
 
i thought about wrapping it in a bath towel and lowering it.
 
the rock is at least 40lbs. i lift weights so i am going by that. the tank is a standard 125g. i know its 6 feet long and 18inches wide. the height i cant remember. its just an awkward position to extend my arms out and then down like that
 
I would do the egg crate suggestion to help spare the bottom glass from gouges.

Think of it this way, people with marine tanks have 5 times that in live rock in their tanks and the glass is all the same.... I can understand about the akwardness of getting it in there but it will be safe once it gets there.
