hey guys. so my plan is to start building the stand this weekend. hopefully i can get it done by Saturday. I was wondering if there are any reefers willing to lend me a hand (I can't lift heavy still), and just place the tank onto the stand. also does anyone have any suction cups I can borrow? I think we may need at least 2 or 3. I think I have 1 though. as far as dates. Please let me know if weekends or weeknights is better. then we can figure out a date. pizza and beer can be provided. unfortunately due to covid and my preggo wife, we can't really chill and hang out, but can probably chat outside. let me know. thanks!

p.s.
tank weighs about 400lbs.

I'm in Edison right by menlo mall

Diverticular attack here. Been in and out of hospital this week. If I’m around Sat morning I’m happy to lend a hand, though my lifting capacity is limited atm.

Good luck! I actually have a few buddy’s to help me bring my tank in the house on Saturday also. If I wasn’t moving my own, I’d be there to help
