ERF!! Is that a glass tank?

[graphixx]

yeah its glass!!! hello chiropractor!!!!!!!

[seahorsedreams]

Didn't you say in the other thread you had to get it up to a second floor?

Seriously, how does one go about this?

[graphixx]

doesnt have to go up to second floor, right now its on a second floor of a hospital but thank goodness its right by an elevator!!!!

[seahorsedreams]

what sort of equipment will you be using to move it?

[graphixx]

I have got a thinga ma jig used to move hot tubs, its like a platform on casters. I hope that will do the trick. and I have 4 buddies that are gonna help. thursday and friday are gonna be rough. I have to take down the 180 and out of the way which means housing all the critters, live sand LR. get all the stock out of the new tank. get the new tank over to the house and combine the 180 stock with the new tank stock. get the new tank set up and running and then transport the 180 to a guy I sold that tank to. so its gonna be a rough 2 days. I am gonna have buckets and tubs and anything else that will hold water FILLED with critters!!!! I am gonna try and take pics of the whole fiasco. I am sooo excited but I know I am gonna be one tired reefer come friday night (if I get it done by friday which I better cause I have to fly to portland first thing in the morning for a meeting and then fly home) so wish me luck :D

Holy Moly! My envy for your new tank just stopped. After moving all of my tanks recently I would never be able to face going through it again at the moment. I wish you the smoothest transition. Be careful of mixing his fish with your without a QT first. If the tank has been neglected the fish may be on the hairy edge of unhealthy and this stress would be an opportune time for an ick outbreak. Here tang tang tang!

*cough*and if you don't want the angel I'll have it*cough*

That was a long cough :-)

I know that is what is the biggest dilema. I think I am gonna try and house as many in a quasi QT meaning my frag tanks. I think I can fit most of them in those. there are some sergent major damsels that are going to the LFS for credit but I think I can house the rest in the frag tanks. I forgot to mention also if anyone wants to volunteer to help I will gladly pay for the hotel room and dinner!!!! I will even let them choose whatever frag they want out of the frag tanks!!!!! ANY TAKERS!!!????!!!????

[lReef lKeeper]

i would but .... well .... you are just to dang far for me to travel. unless you also buy the plane ticket !! i would buy it but the frag swap is going to break me probably !! GOD I LOVE THIS HOBBY !!

That critter must weigh in close to 500lbs empty... just a guess but I don't envy you or the fellas you conned into helping in the least. Hope you've got easy access to WIDE doors!
