400 gallon or bust!!

I checked airfare to come out and help you. Not sure I can swing the $1200 flight on short notice. :)

Just one word: DELEGATE. I think you plan might work as long as the folks helping you have their assignments before hand and know what they mean. 4 people working as a team could do this but one guy (YOU!!!) trying to do it all why three people watch will not. You should do the touchy stuff, like bag the expensive fish and delegate tasks like draining water, toting water, breaking down equipment to the worker bees. I wish I could come help you. Good Luck.

Greg i bet i could move that whole tank in 3 hours so you should be fine in the time you've given yourself LOL. Ok i'm full of crap but goodluck anyway!

I think I can do it. I am gonna bring an extra return pump with me and drop it in the bottom of the tank and run a hose from it to the bathroom. so that should drain he tank fairly quick. and then shovel the sand out should go fairly quick. I think i can get it completly moved in 6 hours!!!!!

If I wasn't so busy with work, I'm pretty close to you. Are you in Twin Falls?
My Grandparents used to own a home right by the college.

yup I am in Twin. I actually live about 3 blocks from the college. and the dr. office is about 2 miles away so thank goodness I am not going too far!!!

Twin brings back alot of good memories, one of my very favorite towns, not too big and not too small. Good luck with your new tank.

thanks buddy I appreciate it. I am calling the Dr. office tomorrow morning to see just how early I can get in there and get started. I would like to have the tank empty before the office opens. I am hoping they would let me in there like at 7:00 but not sure if that is doable. but the earlier the better. I figure I can be snatching fish while the tank is emptying. and then pull the LR out real quick. so I am pretty confident that I can have it done and to my house if I start at 7:00 have the tank in my house no later than 1:00 (fingers crossed while knocking on wood holding a 4 leaf clover between my toes with a horse shoe around my neck :D )

you forgot the garlic to ward off evil vampires.

A little too late now, but you could have sent me all of my stuff if that would have cleared up some space for you.
