Hello everyone out there in MTRC land 
Based on some input from others, and some recent tank moves, we (the Board) thought it would be a good idea to get some heavy duty suction cups to help with moving bigger tanks. They aren't all that cheap, even if you rent them. We decided to purchase a set of 6 of them for use by MTRC members when folks need them. This is another benefit of membership!
They are on order right now and should be here in a few days. Here is how things will work:
1) MTRC members can "rent" them for 1-week for free. It is the responsibility of the person renting them to pick them up and return them from the Board member who has them at that time (that will probably be Brandon -- the Club Secretary, but it could be others).
2) After the first week the rental is $10/week thereafter. That means if you are late returning them, there will be a fee. This is to encourage prompt returning of the suction cups in case others need to use them, but also if you need them for more than 1 week it is still a lot cheaper than renting elsewhere. I think the cost runs ~$15 for each suction cup if you rent elsewhere, and that is just for a few days.
Norman, let us know when they get in, and please post pics if you have any
