Anyone in Astoria willing to help Sunday?

:givebeer:<-- I will if anyone could help me out in the afternoon at my place on Ditmars. I will be bringing my loooooooong awaited new tank from aquarium obsessed to my apartment on Sunday. As some may already know, I live in a 4th floor walkup with relatively tight stairs, so this wont be a cake walk. The tank weighs apparently 150lbs (according to the shipping invoice) but I was told by AO it weighs closer to 200lbs. Its 48x30x18. Let me know if anyone can help around 4pm or so and I will PM my address and phone number and will have cold beers waiting (or sodas if you prefer). Thanks all!!! (does this belong in OT or reef talk?)

Sunday is tough, it's father's day. I can't help, but I have a hand truck and furniture dollies you can borrow if you want. I used the hand truck to move a 120 gallon glass cages tank.

Oh yeah...fathers day. How stupid of me Sorry everyone I will figure it out on my own. Unless someone is really bored or something.

Thanks for the offer Matt, I think I have a handtruck that will probably work. If not I will PM you before Sunday.

Just let me know, it made moving the 120 I used for a sump very easy, and with some precautions I would move a similarly sized tank like that again. (a little bit of Styrofoam padding on the the metal rails of the hand truck)

If I wasn't having my father and and father-in-law over that day I would gladly help.

Does it have to be on Sunday?

Josh, if you can find someone that has the glass suction cups, it'll make the move a ton easier.

How much was the tank btw?
