Going to need some help

[JNG567]

On August 3rd I am moving out of my current apartment and wont be able to move into my new place until the 20th. If anyone can help me out with this problem I would really appreciate it. Thanks

[JNG567]

oh and I mean with my tank

[manderx]

we can set it up at my place if you want.

[JNG567]

alright cool, I think Im going to be trying to move it the week before the 3rd if you have any extra buckets I can borrow for the move that would be cool too. I really appreciate this! Thanks

[mbort]

I can help out if needed .. Let me know, there is a possibility my wife wants me to go to some function with her that I don't want to go to, and this would be a good excuse to not go.

[manderx]

some function? (http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/161.html)

[JNG567]

ha ha alright I could probably use some more help. Any of you ever moved a tank before?

[JNG567]

well Im guess Im looking to move it towards the end of next week, I didnt realize how soon this was. So if anyone has any extra buckets I can borrow I would appreciate it. What day is good for you Matt for me to try to get it over there?

[manderx]

whenever really. the only times that aren't good for me are thursday evenings before 8.

i can swing by to help pickup the stuff. i've helped move a few tanks in the past few weeks and have it down. and i have plenty of buckets and stuff.

[JNG567]

alright great I dont have my work schedule for next week but as soon as that comes out we can line it up. Ive never moved a tank so your experience is needed.

[mbort]

Like I said, let me know if you guys need any help. I've moved quite a few tanks also..

Actually, it was a shower that I don't want to go to

So end of next week? Thinking Thursday or Friday?

[Shivaji]

Are you guys done with the move - or is it going to be this weekend ?

Sorry I have not been checking the forum the last few days as I have been busy at work installng a new phone system and there was also an issue of my father-in-law going in for an emergency surgery this weekend. I also would have offered to keep Nick's tank if I had heard about it earlier. It would have been a short move and I have lots of space in my basement. I have moved my tanks (55g, 20g) from Charlottesville so I know what is involved, but this week is bad as we are supposed to switch over to the new phone system on Friday.

If you want to do it Saturday, you can still move it to my place and come see my tanks too. If not, please let me know if I can help in any way.

Shivaji

[Shivaji]

Oh yes, if nothing else, I have some large rubbermaid covered containers you can borrow if you need them. They are guaranteed aquarium safe.

[JNG567]

alright thanks Shivaji I might take you up on that, Matt what do you think?

[manderx]

sounds good to me. the shorter the move the better.

[JNG567]

well seems there might be a change of plans. I think I have worked a deal for the current people to be out of the place soon so it will be avaliable by the 5th which is the day I have to be out of my current place. So I might not need you to keep the tank afterall but I am going to need help moving it and setting up new tank because Im going to have to move all of my furinture and my tank in a day and Id like to get new tank running. You think you can help me out on the 5th Matt? or anyone that has experience with this?

[manderx]

sure. i have a dog class till 7:30 but i can do it after that.

[Shivaji]

If it is that late I should be able to help too. Where do you want us to meet ?

[JNG567]

730 is kinda late but I still might need help then because I have so much to move that day I might not even get to the tank until then anyways. Im going home tomorrow to try to get the stand and hood finished for the new tank and get all the plumbing work out but if I dont get it finished in time I guess I will just have to set up the current tank again until I get it done. I think I can get it all done tomorrow though. My # is 434 907 9084 you can give me a call or you can just come over I dont know if you know Radford that well. I currently live at 1205 I Grove Ave. Im moving to 1215 B I believe. just let me know what you want to do.
Shivaji, I can get those tubs from you sometime this week to make things easier. How many gallons do you think they are a piece?

[Shivaji]

Tried to PM you but your mailbox is full. One of my tubs is ~12 gal, and the other ~20 gal, and I have a bucket ~5 gal - all guaranteed "reef-safe" - never been used for anything else.

You know how to get to my house, drop in any time after about 6:30 PM, I rarely get back from work before that, and anytime today (8/1). PM me if you need the directions again, or have any problems, we are just around the corner from Grove.

[JNG567]

I got the stand and lights finished. I might need to ideas on how to hang the light. Matt you still going to be able to help thursday? And Shivaji I might swing by this afternoon and get those containers and I do need directions again I dont have them anymore I dont believe.

[Shivaji]

Nick,

Just sent you a PM with directions.

[JNG567]

I wasnt able to get by today cause of work, could you PM your # as soon as possible I wont be online after tomorrow. Matt you still going to help?

[manderx]

yeah, give me directions from downtown c-burg and i'll swing by after my dog thing. 1205 to 1215? is that close enough to just carry buckets?

[JNG567]

I will PM you direction, its to 1217 and it would be possible to carry buckets but that might make it much harder.
