Default Help - hauling and setting up 90 gal w/sump

I need some help hauling a 90gal w/sump, rock, wate,r coral, and fish. I have the process figured out, I think. The tank I am getting is really dirty ( part of the deal), and I could use some knowledge on what to clean and how. For example the rock looks like it could use a scrubbing. Will a rinse off do the trick. Maybe some scrimp? PLus I jsut need someone to supervise the whole takedown and setup. I'm just really worried about killing everything. Also, i am a lame duck because I just had some surgery. Cant lift anything. So I could jusr use a few extra sets of hands. If anyone can help it would be really appreciated. We are getting started at about 6pm tonight. call text or reply if you can help. 403-477-6101.

Wed June 30th.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Transporting worked fairly well except for a bad water heater problem. What size tank are you looking for? I have another set up that the wife says I need to get rid of.

There was a lot of old things that looked like long fish poo all over the place. I don't know what they are called but the living ones have feather like hands coming out of them. I had hundreds of them.

I don't know. I'm going to say feather dusters.
