I need a few guys to help me lift my tank off it's metal stand and down to the the floor. I pay in beer and my wife said she would make cookies! *laugh* This doesn't need to happen right away..but some time in the next few weeks as I finalized my cabinet design. So I need the tank moved so they can install them.

I'm in the Southwest, pretty close to SouthGate Mall

Depending on the day

I'm really open as to when this can happen, I can pick a couple of dates just to get an idea as to when people might be available.

How about Sunday the 10th and if a weekday would work better, say the evening of the 13?

I appreciate the help all, let me know if you need a hand in return!

I should warn you though, the beer is a case of Molson Golden I've had since the 80's *kidding*

You know come to think of it. You haven't mentioned what size this tank is or how heavy it is going to be. :idea:

Parker
01-30-2008, 04:28 PM
Whoops, sorry about that:

It's a 265 with 5/8 glass. I'm going to guess 800 lbs.

I'm pretty sure it won't be that big of deal.... considering four guys brought it in the house, down the stairs, over a stub wall and onto the stand. I think six guys will be able to pick it up move 3 feet and set it down without major issue, well as long as I give them the beer first and save the cookies till after! *laugh*

hmmm you might want to give them the beer after to, might not want any mistakes.....suction cups work great for moving a tank that size around!!

Some people may be having second thoughts on giving me a hand with the tank being a 265, sorry I didn't mention it sooner. It was not intentional. If you're still interesed in giving me a hand let me know. I think 6 people should be able to move it fairly easy.

Confirmed we have:

Hmm no idea.. I'll have to ask the better half! She did ask me if she should make little packages for everyone though.. I'm going to have to get my tank moved randomly so I can get more cookies around the house!

Parker

They won't work on my tank, it's a laminated tank to all the paynes (sp?) except the veiwing payne have a texture too them..hard to explain.

Joe Reefer
02-11-2008, 04:23 PM

I'm really sorry but I have just discovered that my wife has double booked me so I won't be able to help out. Looking at the replies, it appears that there will be plenty of helping hands anyway. Once again - sorry!

Parker
02-13-2008, 02:10 AM
I'm down one guy, a friend of mine can't make it..if anyone else is still able to help us out..let me know..

Parker
02-13-2008, 05:33 PM

Matt

I'm not going to hurt anyone by trying to move it without enough guys. So lets call it canceled. Thanks for letting me know ahead of time it's greatly appreciated.
