Tank is coming in!!!

[kkiel02]

Ok tank will be here thursday night but am thinking of moving it over Sat. evening around 6-7(I have to work till 3 saturday). I was wondering if anyone would help me move it to our house from Gabes. I have the Maast cart and 3 pairs of suction cups to make things easier. If you could help move it would would be greatly appreciated. We will be meeting at gabes to load it up on the truck and then unloading it on the stand here at the house.

[cbianco]

Few questions...

What did you order? Pics?
Where do you live? Or how far from Gabes?

Christopher

[kkiel02]

I ordered a 360. Don't have pics yet but will snap some this weekend for sure. Still haven't been able to find my camera. Rob also wanted pics. Too many boxes from moving. I live pretty much where Judson and Nachodoches intersect.

[Big_Pun]

I'll be there to help, might want to drop that stuff off at gabes, when I talked to him he said it's going to be hard getting off truck. I'll be at store to help get it off truck

[RayAllen]

Ahhh man, I wanted to be here to help. I will be in Dallas.

You guys start eating your weaties that beast is going to be heavy!

[CoryDude]

I was told to help on Thursday. So I guess it's been changed to this weekend?

[Kristy]

We were on standby for Thursday evening too. We could do Saturday evening if we could be done by 6:30 or so...

So exciting! :D

[ReefOne]

I might be able to help out. Do you have any room in your ride for one more? That way i can just go to your house first then go to gabe's?

[Kristy]

Makes sense since we are trying to connect with you this weekend anyhow! Will send you some info by pm.

[Big_Pun]

just talked to gabe and he needs help for Thursday evening when tank gets to his shop, if you go Kristi bring the trap if not I'll prob be helping sat so I'll see you then

[kkiel02]

Yeah the tank is coming to Gabes this evening. All the stuff is already there minus one pair of suction cups I got yesterday from JT.

Ram,
Yeah you could ride up there with me. We will have some room in the truck.

Kristy,
I am hoping it goes as smooth as the 180. We could start loading it at 5 and should be done by 6:30.

[allan]

He lives real close to Ace.

I'm thinking we can move the other stuff over on Friday after work. Saturday will be busy enough with the tank. Take care of the positioning and all.

See you this afternoon.

[pepper]

I know I had volunteered Mike, but told Gabe that Friday evening or Saturday morning would be the only time he could help. Sorry, but we have a family thing starting at 2pm on Saturday, so he won't be able to help then. What time is the tank coming in on Thursday. He said he could stop by Gabe's after work to help unload. Let me know!

[hobogato]

i can help this evening, i will give you a call to see if you have room for one more in the truck kevin.

[roscozman]

What time does the tank get to Gabes tonight? I'll have to check with the wife about Sat...

[CoryDude]

So I can either today or Saturday, but not both. Plus, the thread's got me a little confused (not that it takes much to do that). Kevin, Gabe, or whomever, just let me know when you'd like my sexy self to show up.

[marcusgonzales210]

The tank should be in between 8:30-9:00 but I don't know when Kevin is planning on doing the move. If anyone has a truck with a big bed pm me.

[CoryDude]

Hey, when Gabe's pickup grows up, it wants to be a F-350.

[marcusgonzales210]

roflmao you are too funny dude!:rofl:

[Neptune@gabesfish]

Ok guys just got in from service runs.. Those are some lucky people,anyway... The tank will be here tonight sometime after 8pm from what i am told it could be earlier and we are moving it tonight.. For sure...

[kkiel02]

Yes as gabe said we are moving it tonight. the stand won't be finished so we are just putting it in the dining room. Sat we will just have to lift it onto the stand.

[txav8r]

I would offer my truck to haul it but I have a goose-neck ball hitch in the middle of the bed. Sorry.

[neogenix]

I may be able to help, but leaving for europe on saturday morning, and a TON of stuff to finish before I leave.

[Big_Pun]

if there by 7 or 8 i can help give me a call gabe if it gets there before

[ramsey]

I won't be able to help tonight since I'm working (unless it's after 1AM). I can help Saturday though if you need it!

[Neptune@gabesfish]

just got phone with driver tank will be here around 8-8:30

[Neptune@gabesfish]

Ohh and tank is to heavy for lift gate so like Ray said eat your wheaties.

[CoryDude]

I hope I don't get hemorroids from lifting this thing.

[Neptune@gabesfish]

Marcus can kiss them for you if you do he will still be on the clock..

[kkiel02]

Got it in the house! Thanks again to everybody! Couldnt have done it without yall.
Stand ought to be ready Saturday morning so looking at a Saturday tank lifting onto stand party. I will post up a exact time as it becomes available.

[Big_Pun]

who orders a 8 foot tank lol, glad we didn't break it lol

[txmike]

this thing was a beast

[cbianco]

So ummm.....

Where are the pictures of this giant tank?

Christopher :)

[CoryDude]

I know Cedric's wife was snapping some pics.

[marcusgonzales210]

Yes Cedric's wife was taking pictures on my camera. I don't have my usb cord with me but pics should be up later on tonight. This was a CRAZY tank!

[kkiel02]

Ok we will need quite a few people to make this as smooth and easy as possible. I am leaning toward a 2-5 pm Sat. timeline so we can get enough people to help set it on the stand. Please post what time is best for you if you can help.

Good news is we will just need to pick it up as it is sitting right in front of where the stand will be and set it on the stand.

So far I have me and my stepdad. But could use more 4-6 people to make this easy as possible.

Thanks in advance.

[Kristy]

Mike can probably do it. We spent all day sitting with our daughter in the hospital after she was in a car accident last night and she is scheduled for surgery in the morning, so please call him when you know what time to be there (we won't be around the internet). As long as everything goes smoothly, he will be happy for a reason to get away from the hospital.

[kkiel02]

Very sorry to hear that. I pray for a speedy recovery for her.

[kkiel02]

I will post up the exact time but am open to options at this point to get this on the stand. The stand is coming tomorrow so I will know a more exact time after that is set in place. Although that is coming in the morningish so the 2-5 time frame is adjustable to others plans, etc.

I promise I wont ask for any help after this. lol

Updated list:
Kevin
Chris
Maybe Mike

[Big_Pun]

too bad we didn't get a pic of when it was set down on my foot

[CoryDude]

I should be able to help with lifting, but I'll need to split right after that. I'll pm you my # and just call or text me when you know a good time. I'll be sure to be free during the hours you specified.

[Gseclipse02]

looks like julio was the driver??? cool guy loves that big red lol

[allan]

I heard a couple of you dudes wanted to spoon in the tank. Sheesh :)

[Big_Pun]

I heard a couple of you dudes wanted to spoon in the tank. Sheesh :)

your jealous no one asked you!!

[allan]

Hah, I'm the one that fits int.... wait a minute! I am NOT going to defend myself! ;-)

[Mike]

I also need to be done earlier than later. Who else do we have? 3-4 is probably not enough. Do we have the suction cups available? I can ask another buddy if we need more help. I am really hoping some other MAASTards step up to help though. That is one of the things I like about MAAST is that we are a community and help each other. I am a firm believer in what comes around goes around...

[Big_Pun]

Hah, I'm the one that fits int.... wait a minute! I am NOT going to defend myself! ;-)

you do fit the tank is 8th long, haha your jealous. wish I could help but I have 3 papers to finish by Monday

[marcusgonzales210]

Hmm I wonder if Allan would be able to fit in it?

[ReefOne]

I'm down to help. Just post what time and pm me your address.

Thanks
Ram

[kkiel02]

Leaving to get the stand here in a sec. I am thinking 3 pm. I think we are up to about 6-7 people from those that have posted. As always the more the merrier though. lol Thanks in advance.

[allan]

I can help if early enough. I'm about two dudes in one, scot may be able to assist if late enough (another hour).

Of course I'm thinking if about six of you guys get on one side I can grab the other end. :) huh, me feel strong, like gorilla! Hum.

Middle door folds down for a fragging station.

The suction cups are here whenever you're ready for them.

[kkiel02]

Got em! LOL @ the pics.

[Big_Pun]

thanks for posting the pics of all the sweaty guys, lol. only on Maast do that many people show up at 11pm to help move a tank that big, and have fun.

I need help moving my pico from my room to the kitchen any Helpers. lol

[Third Coast Tropical]

I got your back, as long as its under 29G. lol But for real if you ever need any help just let me know.

[marcusgonzales210]

Hey Kevin as far as I remember you don't have a 180 gallon reef anymore. You could just change it to a 360 gallon reef in progress. Have you moved the tank onto the stand yet?

[kkiel02]

Yeah got it done. I took some phone pics but cant find my usb for the phone now. With my luck its probably with my camera whereever that is.
