Is a dolly the best solution? I tried lifting straps with a buddy but we are not strong enough to do it so I gave up.
How to transport 180 gallon glass tank from the basement upstairs?

Prefer not to call a mover. my buddy has a dolly just wasn't sure with this being glass if that could cause any issues.
If you’re not strong enough with the strap the Dollie is too heavy
I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm moving a 180 this weekend. I went to sunbelt rentals and rented 4 suction cups for $20.
If your not strong enough add more people. Going up stairs is just going to suck. 2 people per end if you can fit ot a person on every side.
Your looking at roughly 350lbs

The issue was more so my friend with the straps. It was lop sided. He couldn't lift it high enough.
With my other friend helping we should be ok. Just wanted confirmation that this was the best way to go about it.
Handles so you can grip it.

Puts a handle anywhere you need it on the glass
I've used them moving my last big tanks. We moved a 300 with 4 people 2 cups per person.
