![]() Yes please, and thanks to all the offers so far. I'm indebted to you all.
Stircrazy, yeah, going bare bottom is an idea, but for now I'm hoping to just move the tanks but otherwise keep them as-is. I like the look of a little sand at the bottom even if it does create a few headaches here and there. Thanks for the suggestion though!

![]() What is the start time for this operation, Tony? Still waiting to see if we're around for all or part of that day.
Have a few buckets (with lids).

![]() That's a good question.
The parts I really need help with are the lifting the tanks onto the van, and then into position in the new place. There's a fair bit of lead-up time before that as rocks need to be put into buckets, fish need to be caught and housed, etc., which I could probably start by myself and see how far I can go. I pick up the van at 8am and I have it for all weekend. Maybe 10am? and if time is an issue, we could aim for some kind of target time in the afternoon for the lifting, like, say, 1pm or something? Not having moved tanks before I am not certain how the time line will look like exactly at this point. Let me see what I can come up with (as far as a plan goes that breaks the day down into hourly milestones), and I'll post back here when I've done that? (Give me about a day or two to come up with it.) Then people can decide and let me know for certain if they're able to come at a certain time, or whatever. And just to say again just so people don't mess up their weekends, this will be not this upcoming weekend (April 17-18) but the weekend after next (April 24-25).

![]() I moved lots 'o tanks back in my "Gypsy daze"...
![]() ![]() ![]() I'll plan to be there around 9:00 am. I can help ya' get things bagged and dissasembled etc. I'll bring everything I got that's watertight, and the crusty old Diatom...I've got quite a few bags too I'll donate to the cause. As mentioned, my back leaves me as a spectator when it's lifting time, (aaaw, sometimes back pain has it's benefits eh Deb ? ) but I got a truck we can load up. Kari, I'll bring the band-aids, and oh ya', I have my own dissinfectant thanks... ![]()

![]() So I guess it is the old "strong back, weak mind" scenario. It is really too bad you only qualify for one of those criteria Doug.
