With other stuff inside it will be incredibly fragile. It should be moved, empty, in the upright orientation, to the destination for assembly. Once assembled it should not be moved unless first emptied of everything inside.
I keep having visions of orchid hobbyists trying to grab expensive orchids jumping out of a shattering aquarium while the glass shards cut like falling knives.
I know it would be more expensive, but I think it would be far safer to have a local glass company build something for you designed to be stood on the small end.

I'm willing to risk it. I believe as long as the bottom sits flat it will be fine. Thanks for the caution though.
