I will be moving the 200 gallon tank this Sunday (12-30-01). Whatever time is most convienent for everyone else. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I will probably need 3 or 4 guys to help. I can't pay cash for labor, but I can pay in beer, pizza and frags. Let me know if you are interested in helping.

Later,

Don

Decided not to move the 200 this weekend since there is a chance for snow on Sunday. :( Maybe next weekend. Does anyone have plans for next weekend?

Later,

Don

I have to work next weekend. I can help you this sunday no problem. I'm sure Mickey doesn't mind either...hehehheeeh. We need 4 peeps I'm sure. Let me know. Sunday is cool with me...or Saturday evening is good too for me.

Tom, thanks for the offer, but I won't have the room ready until Sunday. I would rather wait for a warmer weekend. It about a 30 minute drive from here and I'm afraid things would get too cold. I appreciate the offer though.

Later,

I hear that. Supposed to get colder. When's a good time to snag a bit of sand from you? Tested water last night, everything looks great. :D

You can come over today if you want. I'll give you some sand and a few pieces of rock. Maybe some polyps or a mushroom or something. I'll also loan you your camera for a couple of days. :D

Just give me a call,

Today was definitely not a good day to mave a tank. I'm glad I waited.

I could see a real disaster if you had tried to move it today. Although it does kinda make me wonder what Don would look like under glass. That is after slipping on the drive way...

I went and borrowed my fathers digital, but am not very familiar with it. I haven't been able to trick the flash into coming on, so the only thing you see is the tank, and not the stand.

I'll keep working, and its a nikon coolpix 990 if anyone has any suggestions. Oh, anyone want to donate a sand cup? :D Edit: I got it to flash, and replaced the pic.

Equipment list

2x Won proheat Titanium heaters
2x maxijet 1200 (only one at the moment, the second is DOA)
Precision Marine HOT1 Skimmer (in transit, hopefully tomorrow)
2x 95 watt actinic VHO
2x 95 watt 10k VHO
58 gallon Natures View with cap and stand

I put about 4 gallons from my existing aquarium, and the contents of my skimmate cup to help the cycle along, plus a piece of shrimp.
