Moving to DSM

[HOC]

Some of you already know this, but I though I'd put it up here so everyone knows. My wife recieved a promotion to the Desmoines area, and since I can do my job most anywhere I'll be following. We moved to CR from DSM about four years ago so it will be like comin home. :)

I wanted everyone to know nothing will change with me being the VP of the club. I still plan to attend meetings in CR as well as DSM just like before.

My system will undergo a major overhaul in the process.:D I've sold my 200gal and 240gal and will be replacing them with a custom 360 gal glass tank. This will be a SPS only tank. Still not sure how I'll go about moving all the livestock,LR,substrate, and etc. That will be an adventure I'm sure. I plan to move about 400 Gal of my currently running system to hopefully minimize stress.

I look forward to getting to know some of you western Ia peeps better, and I'll miss the ones over here that I prob won't get to see as often. I will be coming back to CR to visit friends, and for meetings ;)

BTW I may be having a tank moving party when time comes to move the 360 into the house. I guess that thing weighs 600-700 lbs. Sounds fun eh!!

Later...Chris

and i am sure nick will give u a hand with the tank...

I think Travis will be giving chiropractic adjustments following the move. :D

I'm in West Des Moines, and I've got a three quarter ton Dodge with an extended cab and a 6.5 foot bed. If you need my help, email me and I'll see what I can do! Glad to have you in DSM!

Thanks for the offers guys. Maybe I'll have a tank of frags (which I'm sure will be inadvertently made in the move) for the peeps that show up to help:D

Looks like it will be Feb sometime as that's when the house we're having built will be done. Nothing like moving water in 0 degree temps. Not lookin forward to that:rolleyes:
