Need Help! Manpower to move the 215RR Brink into place.

[MikeyBoy]

Friends,

I am looking for 4-5 stong guys to help move my new tank into the house on Thursday the 23rd in afternoon / evening.

They say this is the motherload heavy, so I would like to have about 6 guys total. Me and a buddy will be there.

I am going to pick the tank up about about 2pm and I was hoping to get into the house that afternoon about 5pm-7pm.


I do have a rolling cart I borrowed from Steve that will help a bunch.
So it will mainly be just moving it to and from the cart.


I live at 1604 and Blanco in San Antonio.

I only live on the 3rd story of some apartments....

Just kidding, it is actually a house and the tank is going right inside the 36" door.
There are indeed two small steps to navigate, but really no big deal.

I can have hot pizza and cold beer!!!

PM me if you can make it, should take about 10 minutes.

[MikeyBoy]

I am not sure what a Brink is, but my tank is a "Brick" style....

Sorry for the typo.

[mathias]

[::pete::]

[scuba_steveo]

I'm not the biggest guy in the club, but I can help! Dibbs on the space right next to Mathias :-D

This is the same as my 215g tank, and it IS heavy ... about 550 lbs empty :shock: Four of us lifted it and moved it a foot or two to get it on the truck. Navigating a couple of stairs will take 4 BIG guys or 6 lazy wimps that stare at their reef tanks all day ;)

[Ram_Puppy]

well, I would fall in to the Big and Lazy category...

[GaryP]

Mike,

Make sure to request the same fork lift operator that unloaded Don's tank.

Crazy as it sounds, I am kinda getting nervous......and excited.

I am off tommorrow too, so I am going shopping for 100gallon poly tanks to house RO/DI water.

[rocketeer]

[NaCl_H2O]

You are welcome! Mike, your setup is going to be awesome! Hopefully it will be a long cold winter so you have lots of excuses to work on your project!

[GaryP]
