400 gallon or bust!!

You may want to consider hiring professional movers. It will save your back and they are typcially bonded so if something gets broke you can get your money back. Just a suggestion. I paid $300 bucks last year and they moved my whole house in a couple hours plus removed a left behind piano. Best $300 I ever spent.

I'll help if you buy the plane ticket!!! Maby you can get a group rate for me and Bobby!!

its a CR road trip... er plane trip... to your house now! lol. i wish you much luck and while it is a good deal, i'm glad i am not dealing with that right now. i hope everything works out okay

Don't drop it.

actually the guys that are helping me move furniture for a living. I have the use of the delivery truck. all the doors are more than wide enough. its going out the doctors office double doors and going in through my sliding doors off the deck . so should be a pretty easy move. I think the tank is gonna be the easy part!!!!! its all the live stock and sand and rock that is gonna be the hard part. its gonna take 2 hours to empty the water!!!! should be an adventure.

Greg what a great deal!!! Do you have any pics of the top side of the tank??? So i can see how that over flow is set up???? That maybe a good ideal to have it in the center of the tank rather than on one end!!

Greg, this is simply AMAZING!!! The memory of all the hard work you have to do will fade away after you get it all set up and looking sharp... kind of like childbirth, lol! You forget the pain as soon as you see the end product!!! :D

allright, the past few days I have been formulating a plan of attack. I think I got it. I want to run it by you guys and see if you can see any holes in it!!!!
wednesday night: get all the tubs ready and loaded in the truck ( I have 4x50 gallon rubbermaid tubs, 8x5 gallon old salt buckets. along with a tarp and all the goodies I will need to start the break down of the tank.
THURSDAY MORNING: arrive at dr. office. I think the first thing will be to remove all the fish and corals. I will bag most of the fish that are small enough for bags and same with corals. the rest will go in 5 gallon buckets. all the LR will go in rubbermaid tubs and I will pack with soaked newspaper to keep "fresh" get all the critters to the house and fit as many in the frag tanks as possible. along witht he corals. back to the office and drain the tank. I am not saving that water.the same with the crushed coral. I bieleve that is one of the main reasons the tank is in bad shape. the substrate consists of LARGE chunks of crushed coral. so all that is going away. when tank is empty move the canopy the sump and equipment to house. come back for main tank and stand. I hope to god I can get all that done in approx 5-6 hours. if I start at 10:00 a.m. I would like to be completely done at the dr. office and everything at my house by 5:00 (do you think thats possible??) I think the fish will stay in containers overnight. I dont want to put them in the 180 for a night and then in buckets the next day for a while and then into the new tank (any thoughts) if I can get the new tank to the house by 5:00 I think I will attempt to break down the old tank and get it out of the way and start set up of the new tank. If I can get that done that gives me friday to just take the old tank to the new owner and have the rest of the day aquascaping the new tank and putting the final touches on it.
THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS?????

In all honesty, take the amount of time that you think you'll be spending on it, and then multiply it by 1.5 or even 2. The fish should be ok I would think, heck they live in bags inside boxes inside UPS trucks. Maybe some air pumps to make some water movement? Or go there tomorrow and box everything up and send it to me and I'll keep an eye on it. :)

DAMM YOU ERIC!!! I know there is noooo way I will have it done by 4:00 but I am gonna try my darndest.
