Tank move anyone?

[Kristy]

Well, stop the madness, we have purchased Ray Allen's beautiful 210g tank and will be moving it to our house this weekend. :bigsmile: Anyone available to help move the tank on Sunday (March 9) around noon?

Let us know if you're interested and available and we'll pm you the address, etc.

Also, we are going to be in need of large tubs, totes, vessels to hold water, rock, corals, and fish. Suggestions on where you bought yours OR EVEN BETTER, anyone have something you could loan out for a couple of days?

If anyone has moving tips, words of encouragement or well wishes, that'd be appreciated too!

I have a 50gal rubber maid tub I could lend you for a week at least!!!!

[Kristy]

Man, Anthony, you're our new best friend... if only you could fill it with a bunch of children's videos! We'll get back to you on when to connect.

[beerguy]

Oh geez.... another tank? When will you ever have time for those driving lessons? :P but thats pretty sweet. If I wasnt working, I would be there for sure. Unless, that is, you want to move the date to saturday. After all, I do have a truck. And if mike would lend me some of his muscles we could probably pick the thing up whilst only herniating a disk or two. Congratulations on the new purchase, and if anything else I can just lend you some buckets. I have five or so I can spare.

[Kristy]

Well, if you're feeling left out (or just jealous that I called Anthony our BFF and not you) you could always get in on phase two of this project, being the hooking up of the new tank and tranferring of contents to the new tank... that is scheduled for the following weekend on SATURDAY March 15!

Or perhaps you'd just like to offer to cover some driving lessons?

But, for real, we may just take you up on your bucket offer! Thanks!

[beerguy]

March 15th you say? Thats the big brothers birthday, and Im pretty sure its the weekend of south by south west, so Ill put your tank party third in line. I cant believe your moving your tank from one to another I thought you were just going to have multiple tanks, you know, like cool people do. I vote; 100g = reef, 210 = FOWLR. Otherwise your just going to have to buy another set of lights. But your rich, so I guess thats no problem for you. May I suggest another viper?
As far as the driving lessons go, there both female anyway so I dont think any amount of teaching will be able to help them. :)
and any time on the buckets. Im sure the old lady would love it if I got them out of the house for a little bit.
edit: and I will crush anthony. a real BFF would live in the 210.

[tony]

i think i can help kristy, do you need a truck?

[RayAllen]

For those who havnt figured it out Kristy and Mike bought my 210g. We have 2 guys so far; myself and Mike. 4 guys would make it a much easier move although even with 4 its just a little on the heavy side, lol. As stated this will be on Sunday the 9th. Mike and I will be taking the tank down starting at 10a so we will need the moving help at around approx 12 noon. Im located at 11164 Baffin Oaks, SA 78254 basically 1604 and Shanefield area.

That would be great! We have a truck but might be helpful to have another if you have one.

:bareteeth: Bring it on!!!!!!

[D_and_A_Custom]

I could be there around 2pm would that help? or would i miss the fun? I also have a big tube i can loan you.

[RayAllen]

Im hoping by 2 we will be done moving everything. Starting moving at noon, Mike and Kristy only lives 10 or so miles from me so by 1:15 the grunt work should be done, id think.

[beerguy]

:bareteeth: Bring it on!!!!!!

*z-snap!* its already been broughten.

[Enigma13]

Rubbermaid stock tanks work great for tank moves and either TSC or McCoys will generally let you return them at full credit within a week of purchase. My wife gave full disclosure of what we were doing to McCoys and they told her to return it when we were done. Can't beat that deal.

Wow! I just ready that you guys bought this. Awesome!!! I have been wanting it since I went by his place to purchase some corals, but the timing wasn't right. haha, I want to see it when it is up.

Oh, and I should be able to stop by and help if it is still needed

[Texreefer]

I cant make it but i have 4 large styrofoam shipping boxes you can borrow for a few days,, LMK

[Kristy]

WOW! You guys are awesome! I really appreciate all the offers of help (and especially, as Ray pointed out, since I had to leave town on business at the last minute and am leaving Mike to handle all this by himself). I will pm everyone shortly regarding the offers to borrow stuff. Can't say thank you enough!

[Kristy]

Okay, just to recap... we are meeting at Ray's house (11164 Baffin Oaks SA, TX 78254) on Sunday this weekend at noon. Looks like we will have a good number of guys to help, including:
Mike (my Mike not TexReefer)
Ray
Tony
Ace
D and A custom
coraline79 maybe

Any of you guys going to the frag swap on Saturday and could commit to bringing back the Rubbermaid tub from Anthony?

[Kristy]

Well, we now have a 210g monster in our kitchen... can't wait til it's up and running! (lots of work ahead of us next weekend).

Many, many thanks to the great turnout today to help. It was really awesome to have all the help from Ray, Ace, Tony, Mike (Texreefer), and D and A customs (Damian? I told you I was terrible with names!) Always great to meet fellow reefers in person.

You guys all know who to call the next time you need help with anything!

-Mike (and Kristy)

PS: We'll try to keep everyone posted on the work as it progresses.

[stoneroller]

Congrats! Looking forward to your tank build thread or blog.

[tony]

Glad to help

Document the build for us in your blog

[RayAllen]

No problem! Glad to help and cant wait to see what you 2 do with that monster. Tell mike something weird happened to my phone when I was talking to him. I will come by within the next couple of days to bring the filter socks and pick up my buckets.

HAVE FUN!

[D_and_A_Custom]

It was nice meeting you guys and i was happy to help.Ill be around to help next weekend with the switch.

[coraline79]

sorry didn'tmake it by the time change threw me off!! Definitely going to need a reason to come by and check it out though. MY little 2.5 gallon fuge continue to overflow with Cheato, so I will be giving some more away soon.
