Off Topic & On Topic - need help moving tank (March 27)

[guihan]

I have a Honda Element and might be able to help depending on the date.

 

[Raddogz]

Looking at March 27 for the move date

 

[sfsuphysics]

Good luck on the move, unfortunately (fortunately?? ) I'll be in Yosemite as a faculty advisor for a few clubs at school.

Looking for a place to move into by the end of this month as well. Good luck on the move.

 

[sfsuphysics]

Oh I'll help Eric with his tank move no problem

 

[Ibn]

I'm sure that's the case considering that I can carry the tank and stand by myself.

I'm expecting a couple of hours to break it down and then a couple of hours to get it back up at most. I love small tanks for this reason!

Place and time?

 

[Raddogz]

3/27 downtown SF (free parking available) to Foster City - it's nice being relatively close to freeway access.

No time listed yet? Sat mornings are bad for me.

Hi Eileen, I can't leave Sandy with the kids for the amount of time required for a move, but if you need help once it's in your place (moving the tank around the room, etc, etc) then let me know!

No problem Vince. I think I may have enough help.

I have Richard for sure right now.

Anyone else?

I am thinking of 10:00 am but it can be the afternoon as well if that suits everyone better.

 

[patchin]

I hope to be able to help.

 

[Raddogz]

woot

Can you post who has a vehicle, small car, truck, can help but needs to carpool?
Suburban available, no buyer yet.
Morning works but afternoon even better, just LMK so I can arrange things with my wife, my kids have swimming lesson around 10:00 am at the Embarcadero YMCA so I can drop them off and on to help.

 

[Raddogz]

As of right now:

Richard - YardArtist
Christina- 99SF
Xcaret
Apon-Arnold (maybe)

No truck.

I do have my 4Runner but I don't think that will hold a 6ft tank nor it's stand.

If afternoon works better for everyone that how is 1 or 2 in the afternoon work? Getting the tank and stand out of the office is easy because it goes right out the front door, sidewalk, and then to awaiting truck.

We have some plastic tubs that we used on our most recent move that we can lend you (we used them for live rock, corals, fish, etc.) We live in Redwood Shores.

Thanks Mike

I need enough help move a one 6ft tank, it's accompanying stand, and sump.

No rock, no sand this time as the sand will need to be washed and rock needs to be cured (aiptasia everywhere) - I can do this part at work

 

[pixelpixi]

I can come help. Do you want me to bring my pickup truck? It's small and crappy but it should have room for the tank. I'm unsure if it has room for the stand too in one load, though. What are the dimensions?

 

[Apon]

Did you confirm what time Sunday? Also is this just a simple move or a help empty and drain and help setup kinda of move?
