Tank Move Recruitment

[Johnny Reefer]

Jim & Jason: Thanx guys. I'll give ya shouts closer to the day if it looks like I'll need ya.

Jason: How is your 180 coming along?

Cheers,

I got water in it yesterday finally. Right away I noticed a leak on one of the tee's in the behind the tank. We went back there to have a closer look and the pipe just pulled right our of the joint. The glue didn't do a very good job at all. I tested the rest of the joints and they seemed fine so hopefully it was just that one. Everything looks great except I can't believe the noise the Mag 36 pump puts out for the closed loop. The one in the sump isn't too bad because it's submersed but the closed loop is loud. Lots of really good, random flow though.

Yikes!
Sounds like one major disaster narrowly avoided. Phew!

Glad to hear you have it up and running!
Keep us posted.

3 miles of bumpy potholed logging road.
2 miles of freshwater lake. (There's a little rickety wooden barge for this portion).
Then it's up a 10% elevation on a bumpy old hiking trail for about 1 mile, where it seems there is a deadfall in the way about every 20 yards. (Hasn't been cleared in about 6 years).
Finally, at the top, it's smooth sailing along an old slimy cord road, for about 4 miles, to the cabin! Easy!

Haha. Joking of course.

No stairs! Wohoo!
From driveway, along sidewalk, through front door and lobby, to the elevator, in, 4th floor please, into the apartment. Voila!
The two doors measure no less than 32" wide, so there is really no tight squeeze at all.

I will check to see if I work that day and get back to you.

Help!
The stand for my new 180 is coming on Monday.
To make room for the 180, I need a hand with moving my 135 into the bedroom.
I was thinking Sunday, either late afternoon or evening would be an ideal time to do this.
It'll be just the empty 135 and the 135 stand to move on Sunday.
All the live rock, etc. will be holding in the 70.
I am willing to part with a coral for the favour.
If anyone is available to lend me a hand on Sunday for this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanx much,

[TNTCanada]

Mark I should be able to give you a hand on Sunday
Give me a call if you want I will PM my number

Cheers

Well the time is drawing closer on delivery of the tank.
Puttin' the call out for help, once again.
I don't mean to be too early, with a call, but I don't want to leave it for too late, either.
It's still slated for Wednesday Nov. 30th. No earlier than 11:00 AM. (And probably no later than 4 or 5. I'll confirm that).
Basically, the exact time will be dependant on when people are available.
Once that's determined I'll tell the "delivery guy" when to bring it.
Based on the advice of people with past experience movin' a tank this size, I need the help of at least three other guys.
Any assistance rendered with this move will be greatly appreciated. There's cold beer in the fridge and I am willing to part with three corals in kind.

Please and thanx,

[TNTCanada]

Once again I am able to help. I will get more info tomorrow when I see you.

Cheers
Tyler
