Need a hand tommorow near exit 117

[rrspike]

hey anyone local to the 117 exit area free ro lend a fellow reefer a hand ? Just scored a free 180 gallon tank for free and need a hand loading it in the truck . Details are developing but not in a basement and easy load I am told so far. I can offer some frags or some of your favorite beers .
Thanks

Ah man sorry if I was around I'd help. Sounds like you got a score. 180g for free? Stand too? Or just tank.. detail brother details Haha

 

[rrspike]

Stand and tank no sump . Stand is available if I get the tank as I have no need for it .

 

[MadReefer]

[rrspike]

You tell me I will make the appointment for then. I am flexible

It’s a shame that society judges the muscularly challenged

So sorry I’m in bad health. If I could I would absolutely be there. As I live in Keyport. Keep me in mind in the future if you need any reefing help rrspike

ok so here is the question is it a glass aquarium or acrylic ?

 

[rrspike]

Its glass . I have myself and 2 others currently lined up. With the owners help we should be ok. its a easy load right out the garage. Truth told I really have no use for it , but will flip it into what I want / need.

 

[motortrendz]

Honestly 2 strong guys can move it, I moved my 220 with one other guy. But more is always easier. Bring a heavy blanket to help slide it into the truck and bring fat straps to and heavy blankets to secure over the top

 

[rrspike]

Cool thanks for info Mike.


More hands makes easier work , wish I thought this way when i was in my 20's and didnt have a blown out back .

 

[motortrendz]

It's probably about 300 lbs. Empty.

 

[MadReefer]

Thought I could lend a hand but unfortunately I cannot make it tonight.

 

[rrspike]

No problem thanks for the offer .

 

[DEL]

you already know if I was allowed to lift more than 30lbs I'd help you. I'm not even allowed to lift water buckets right now

wait..so you just basically upgraded to double the size of your current setup. good thing you got mad frags on saturday !! make sure to check the seams and glass before loading it up, save a headache later on.

 

[rrspike]

Yeah it's a score for sure. And yes I plan to check it all over real good before loading .

Hope your better soon.
