Tank lift and load help - Sat Sep 27th

[h20poloman]

The guy buying my tank is from OC/LA area so wanted to see if I could secure some manpower to help lift and load the tank at my house. Depending on folks flexibility I was thinking either 11am or 1pm that day? I'd like to have 4 additional people plus myself and the guy buying the tank for a total of 6. Four of us lifted it previously but pretty sure we all thought our backs were going to give out. It's not a light tank. He is only buying the tank so stand will stay with me. Tank is 248g 1/2" glass

Thanks in advance - Marlin

bump this up....nobody that eager to lift a big tank? Cold beverages and possibly some pizza/food depending on the time will be provided. I know it's a few weeks out but I'd like to have some guarantees that I'll have enough help with the lift. Again, this is just to load the tank into a truck. Tank only - no stand,etc. TIA

Hey Marlin, I work till ~1230 on Saturday but could help out afterwards. I know what a pain it is with the 240s! Assuming you've got the glass suction cups? I've got one that I need to return to SDMAS.

Thanks Andrew, if that is the case then I can shoot for 1pm then. I do have a few suction cups....I never trust them fully but to help slide the tank off the stand before getting your hands underneath the tank they are definitely helpful.

Hey let me check with the Boss to see what my plans are for next saturday. If she doesnt have anything planned for me I will be there.
Not that I really want to after the last time we moved it.
