A properly braced 2x4 frame would be just as sturdy as a truck bed. But all in all, go with what you feel comfortable.

There are people who do this sort of thing for a living.
Strike a bargain, pay them and be done with it= cheaper than breakage.
They can do in 20 minutes what will take you a weekend on your own. What's your time worth?

ok, just paid for it, will try and organize the pickup for next weekend! $164.90...not too bad for a 400 gallon.
I decided the best and safest way to move it will be in on piece. I was at the store today and noticed (not sure how I missed this before) it is sitting on a pallet that fits it perfectly. Just load that into a truck and it should be good to move into the back of my house. Then I can just tear it down in my backyard on nice soft grass at my pace, as opposed to in a hot concrete alley full of wasps in an afternoon.

I was able to easily navigate a 130" piece of wood all the way down without much problem, and the glass will only be about 120", so it should work out. There is a sharp turn halfway down the stairs, but there is also a bedroom on the landing, and I can walk it into the bedroom, then back out down the rest of the stairs.
