If your travelling north to Edmonton let me know. I'll load you up with some stuff, sand, possibly some rock, cheato, etc. If not I'll get in touch the next time I'm travelling home to Calgary and I'll drop some stuff off for you.

Got a standard 75 gallon tanks and steel stand non-drilled. Crack on the upper left corner, been repaired and holds water.(or at least for the last three years it has). Bucket of sand. Maybe some others.

Yours for the pickup, if you want.

If someone (or ones) want to get together and donate the time and vehicles to come and get it I will donate a complete 230g system - tank, stand, lights, skimmer, live rock, fish, some coral etc. etc. - it is set up right now and running.

WOW
what an offer Ruth.
that is an incredible gesture.
I hope someone can make the time to make this happen.

Bump for a good cause.
I would offer to pick up Ruth's stuff.
However, being that it is grad season and I own a limo company(plus in the army fulltime and run my fish business), I am way too busy.
I will donate some corals and some inverts if someone is willing to bring them down to Calgary.
Again Ruth, I am awed at your generosity.
Lets make this happen.

Ruth, do you think that you could get it to a docking facillity? I work for a 3PL and should be able to get a good rate of freight. No live stock though.

Even if I can't make that happen, I'll donate some frags and time to setup.

That is going to be a hard one - it is a glass tank so very heavy - and then there is all that live rock (probably 400 plus pounds) and livestock that I would have no where to house. I think it is going to have to be moved in a few trucks in rubbermaid containers.
Not even sure they actually want a system this big as I haven't heard back from anyone.

OH my goodness, Ruth! Somehow I totally missed your offer! My internet's been wonky, so I haven't checked back as often as I normally would have!!

I'm a little blown away. I don't think we could manage a 230G set-up, though it PAINS me to say it. Wow. My mum would say you earned another jewel on your crown in heaven...heh!

And everyone....thank you so much. I'm just trying to figure out exactly what will work. I don't want to accept something from someone if I don't end up using it. I will look at everything this week and shoot everyone a PM.

Again...thank you thank you thank you!! I knew y'all would pull through.

Hmm, ok well....

Drew I'll talk to you about this tonight when I bring your sea hair back. I hope your keeping tabs on all of these wonderful offers.

And Ruth, you just let me know if you want to donate that tank to me :wink: and I'll find a way to get it down here.:mrgreen:

Well the offer stands Drew, if you change your mind or if your group thinks they want to try and make it work. I could probably even be persuaded to assist with the transport using my truck and horse trailer as long as it was on a weekend that I was not already busy with a cutting. Would definately need more volunteers for tear down/packing etc. etc. etc.
The offer comes from my heart as I feel these kids deserve so much more than the lot they have ended up with.
