Can I do this???

If I move my 265G tank like this will it break? I need to put it on a furniture dolly for a brief move if it will go into the room I want it.

You'll be fine.

hmmmm. Someone just aske this the other day with the same pic I believe. I remember about 10 or 12 people telling the guy it was fine to do. Many of those that posted said they actually did that with their tank.

BTW I moved my 150 like that but managed to keep the dolly at a 45 degree angle or less at all times. No issues here.

you'll be fine, just dont store it or put water in it without proper support.
