Tank Moving Help in Elk Grove (edit: now Dublin) area Sunday 12/18

[CaseyP]

So, I'm thinking about joining the 200+ gallon club . I'm getting in line to borrow suction cups, will build/rent a couple dollies, van rental, straps, etc.

Only issue right now is that the tank is in Elk Grove. Checking to see if there's anyone in the area that can possibly help? It would be to help lift and load the tank, stand, and some equipment. No livestock transfers.

Do it! Nice sizable upgrade! I can help once you get it back to Dublin. I have 4 10" suction cups you can borrow if needed.

What are you getting? Pictures? When is the move date?

Thank you, appreciate it! Will definitely reach out for help when the time comes.

Tank pickup with be in the next 2 weeks, depending on when we have enough folks. We have 3 maybe 4 people right now but will definitely need 5. It's a Red Sea S-1000. Tank alone is 570lbs

The plan is to pick it up and drop off the tank in my garage same day. Then 2nd week of January, move the tank into the house and set it up.

There’s a club up there you might be able to ask
Could try your reef to see if he knows anybody

oh, this one. https://bareefers.org/forum/threads/redsea-reefer-s-1000-with-equipment.33034/

I almost bought it.

@CaseyP I have a Silverado long bed. You just gotta pay for gas. I only can go when I don’t have my kid tho. Let me know.

 

[CaseyP]

So the good news is we found loading help in Elk Grove, it just has to be this Sunday afternoon. I'll make a separate thread to get help for unloading into the garage in Dublin.

@phc567 that may work! Originally I was going to rent a U-Haul van. Can definitely pay for gas, and frags (torches, gonis) if u want. I'll PM you to see if the timing works.

I am doing a tank move this Sunday already, but may be available with my brother to help unload depending on timing

Welcome to the 200 and over club...
And damn we’re a great club!!
I send positive waves
Good luck with the move
May be easy and go smoothly

 

[CaseyP]

Man this club is great! I can only hope to give back as much as it's given myself and others.

@dswong01 @Coral reefer the plan is to load it up around 2pm so will be back in Dublin around 4:30pm. Does that timing work? We're just going to unload it from the van into the garage.

 

[guihan]

If you need help unloading in Dublin, just let me know what time.

 

[guihan]

I can be there in Dublin at 4:30pm to help unload

 

[euod]

Same here.

 

[dswong01]

4:30 works

 

[Coral reefer]

I’m not sure on timing yet but I’ll know more soon

 

[Arvin R]

I should be able to help unload in Dublin around that time if needed.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

REEFERS…..unite!

ASSEMBBBBBLEEE

@Coral reefer @Arvin R As the resident experienced big tank movers, how many people would you say is minimum to move a 7ft 200+ gallon tank, and what's a comfortable number of people? I'll start a PM with everyone here to coordinate. Thank you thank you in advance!
