Need Help Moving A Large Tank

cali_reef · 11-28-2006, 08:38 PM

I need few more guys to help me move a large glass tank(315 gallon and about 5~600 pounds) off its stand and on to a u-haul trailer, the tank is currently located in Guilford, Conn 06437 and I plan to do this either this Saturday (12/02) or the next Saturday(12/09).

I will be driving a large SUV that can sit 7 guys, the plan is to leave LI(Mineola) sometime before 11am and I can pick up people from Queens, along the Clearview Expwy before getting on the Throgs Neck bridge. The drive should take about 1.5 hours one way and I figure another hour or so to get the tank in the trailer. The whole move should take less then 5 hours, just in time to come back to my place for some beer, pizza and Reef talk, I will frag SPS out of my tank and I also will have some large red leg hermits to give away for those that like to have some. I will pay for gas and any tolls for those live close to Guilford and is willing to meet me up there.

So far I have four people (Pseudo, Slama, Pecan, and My self) that can do this Saturday and I am looking for at least another three guys that can help with the lift.

Please either PM me or post here if you can help, I appreciate any help you can offer.

kevin is in-

either date- please let us know asap which one as we may be moving our own, somewhere in that time frame.

He has a motercycle and if the weather is suitable he would prefer to drive himself. If the weather is not suitable, knowing a subway stop in Queens to be picked up at would be great.
