Tank Move - Pizza/Beer!!

[ming]

Hey Guys!

My new tank should be arriving on tenatively Tuesday, July 13th between 1-4PM. I'll need some help moving it off the truck and into the house.
I'm thinking 6 people total off the truck since its 480 pounds including box.
Once off the truck, unbox the tank and bring the tank itself inside with 4 people total (340 pounds just the tank). I have 4 suction cups borrowed from Dom to make the tank process easier.
Most of the distance will be moved with a dolly, but a few areas where the tank will need to be lifted.

Once its done, I'll have some pizza/beer and frags available.

I know the timing sucks since its normal working hours but they're unable to deliver after 4PM. Let me know if you're available to come for some food/drinks and ofcourse help move.

I live off exit 24 on the LIE. Let me know if you can come and I'll send you my information.

Let me see if I can dig up the suction cup that slama was last using :Blurp:

This tank isn't nearly as heavy as that 300 gallon, not to mention I think a little salt residue since its a used tank probably contributed to it slipping. This is brand new

 

[pecan2phat]

Yeah but we can still use Mike, he takes a beating pretty good. :lol2:

 

[ming]

Yeah, he was still holding onto that suction cup!

if you were in jersey I would be more than happy to swing by, but good luck with the move

I wish I could help out

 

[pecan2phat]

Slama is in the land down under so he will not be available for your move Ming

 

[cbrsorlo]

I am currently employed right now. IF I "WASNT", I would be available to assist.

 

[loneracer05]

hey ming i may be able to swing by.

 

[ming]

I'll probably have more information on the exact timing once the shipping company contacts me. I'll send a PM/text message to everybody who can make it.
I wouldn't mind if another 1 or 2 people can show just in case someone can't make it.

[cali_reef]

I'll be there in spirit :lol2: ...

I have to move at least of of the tank in a few months too.

 

[ming]

I know this is last minute.
I'm still waiting for the shipping company to update their website tracking # to confirm delivery is tomorrow. It should be tomorrow, but I just want confirmation before telling everybody to come.
They said it should be updated tonight, or the very latest tomorrow morning :irked:
Will keep you posted.
