Taking apart a 130 gallon

I got this 130 gallon last weekend, however it's way heavier then expected and there's no way it's gonna be able to go where I wanted it to. It's sitting in my basement. I can't take it up rhe stairs.

I guess I have to take it apart.

How would I get the metal rim off? Everywhere I've looked online is with plastic and doesn't work

Is it a "Custom Aquariums" tank?  Those are probably the only one I know of that has a metal rim.

I don't know if this helps at all, but this is moving another massive tank.  They sell the suction cups for the glass it's actually NOT expensive and you'll need them to set the tank in position or move it in future.  I would suggest two sets, which would be generally $40-60 per pair. 
 


That being said, I wish you the best of luck. Please don't try to do this by yourself!  I can't even move a 75G by myself and I would never try to move anything larger.
