Hi. We're moving December 1st (possibly a day or two earlier) and we don't have a vehicle. We don't trust a moving company to move the tanks safely. If anyone can help out, we can provide either pizza, or some cash. We have my 29 gallon freshwater tank and fish, and my husband's 10g saltwater stuff (it'll be going into a 20 g afrer we move). We'd need to borrow buckets too if possible. We're not moving too far away. From the Dover area in the SE to Radisson (near the Co-Op on 17th ave). We'd prefer to get the tanks there early if we can get in a day or two early. PM me if you think you can help. Thanks!

bumping this just in case. our moving company won't take the tanks, and we have no vehicle. the tanks will have to be moved first, because the one tank blocks the bedroom door so nothing can be removed until the tank is moved. the movers are coming for around 9am. if anyone can help, we can afford some $$ to pay you. we have a few buckets we can borrow now, just a matter of moving the tanks and stands. so if anyone can help, please PM me.

Good luck with the move. *free bump*

I only have a little Ford Focus hatchback, so not sure how helpful I could be? If no one with a real vehicle (:mrgreen:) pulls through, let me know.

Well......, I only have an Escort wagon, and I said I would help. The tanks are only small, so you would be able to help, as my car won't hold everything.:mrgreen:

lol when I bought my 29g and stand, I was able to take a cab home :p I don't travel much, so a car isn't really needed. I can bus or cab anywhere easily enough for now ;)

I am pretty new here but i may be able to help if you still need someone. I have a dodge caravan so that should help a little. I am sure between 3 of us we should be able to pull it all off.
Let me know.

thanks danny.

i'll know for sure in a day or two. our landlord is contacting the current tenant to find out when she's moving out. it should be wednesday she moves, so we'll hopefully be doing it thursday. it'll be impossible for the movers to touch the bedroom til my 29g tank is moved.

okay, it looks like it'll have to be Dec 1st. the movers are coming between 8am and 9am and as i said, nothing can be taken from the bedroom til my tank is gone. so if anyone can for sure help, please PM me a number to reach you at tomorrow and I'll give you a call to give you the address and such.

I have a van and can Move both tanks at once, and live in Dover to boot. I sent a PM to you.

got your pm, but as I said, we'd have to move the tanks first so the bedroom can be accessed, and your PM said you could help after 4pm lol. thanks though. :) we've gotta be moved and stuff by noon ;)
