Default Move Recruitment

So I've bought a new place and will be moving my tank either Sept 27 or 28th after work. Ideally I could use 3 or 4 people to assist for a couple of hours. I also would like to move all the existing water, so anyone that can lend me 5g containers with lids, I'd be forever grateful.

My (stupid) plan is to drain the water and carry the tank with rock work intact to the van and move it to the new place, fill it back up at the other end.

So anyone that can help, please let me know if either day is better and I can start planning. Thanks!

I'm moving at the end of this month and will have 12+ Instant Ocean buckets up for grabs after I'm done. If you're over here or know anyone comming this way that can pick them up for you let me know.

My plan is to use most of my origional water also.

I'm pretty sure I can lend a hand as long as I'm in town that weekend and don't have to work. It's pretty early to tell but I'm usually in town.

I'll have to talk to the wife, but I can probably make it down for either day. Christy and I could car pool.

If you need it I have a ford F-150 with a bed liner that would make it nice and easy to slide a tank into it. Now if you already got a vehicle let me know and I'll just take the Echo down. WAY cheaper on gas.

Thanks everyone. Hopefully I get enough people in town that nobody needs to travel, but I certainly appreciate the offers.
Gerald, I have a van, so the tank will slide in there nicely. Car pooling with Christy would be best for you!

Jason, those days are mid week, unfortunately I couldn't get possession for a week-end!
