Aww don't be a negative nancy Paul ;P

I've moved plenty of things heavier, and more delicate then this

lol did it for years... I don't doubt my abilities

My main concern was the tanks ability to hold it's own weight on it's side... The seller has assured me this is not an issue as it was moved from it's previous location to it's current location by being carried on it's side with no ill effects... Granted this is my first tank move of this size but I am more than confident I can get it in the basement with 4-5 good helpers...

I was told the tank rests at a patio door, and is a straight shot out... I have a car trailer with plenty of room to carry the tank and stand... The stairs to my basement butt up against an exterior door leading directly out onto my driveway... The trailer will be backed up to the exterior door and the tank carried down the stairs(which are straight down, once in the basement it's a straight shot again to the room it will be in and there is plenty of room to move it around within that room)... 2 men on the Front of the tank, one on either side and one in the back(I'll add more if I have the help)... I figure the tank weighs 400-500lbs calculating at 500lbs that's 100lbs per mover... I have been picky with my volunteers for this reason lol, as though 100#'s isn't a huge amount of weight, they have to be confident with holding/adjusting it, and with the people I have asked/ offered to help moving this weight should not be an issue.

As far as holding onto the tank... I have 3 sets of suctions cups(again I used to do this for a living) I just have to find them rofl... To be honest though I will not be heart broken if I can't find em as they only really work when they want too... and I personally dont trust them enough to be the main source of support for carry.

Not much more to plan, just going to take muscle to get it moved...

I am not sure who made the tank, but I would venture to say, yes it is a glass cages, as it sounds like their handy work. It was joe ayers* tank, and now midwest's

And I appreciate the offer Viggen, I will let you know closer to saturday once I figure out what everyone's schedule is, so I can determine the best time to do it... it's going to be in the evening, just determing how late...

Well you have some thought into it. My concerns were the structure of the tank on it's side. Your weight calculations need a little re-engineering. If the tank is on it's side, there will be a much larger load on one side.

Anyone coming to meeting tomorrow need their water tested. Premium members need any club equipment?

The WuSue · « **Reply #55 on:** January 27, 2012, 13:01:35 »

Is the mojano wand available? (I have glass hole saws in the car ready to go if anyone would like them.)

lazylivin · « **Reply #56 on:** January 27, 2012, 16:42:57 »

Yes it is and I will bring it and swap for hole saws.

Don't think I'm going to make the meeting today.

The weather is kind of iffy (at least up here) and I have to get back for a 50th surprise birthday party.

Sounds good I will bring it

jd · « **Reply #67 on:** January 28, 2012, 11:55:49 »

I'll be there, with holesaws! Huzzah!

Reefpete · « **Reply #68 on:** January 28, 2012, 17:08:06 »

Had a great time! Thanks to all who organized this meeting. I just wish we would have had some name tags or an informal introduction of sorts. Maybe I should have just been more open to introducing myself to new people ( Sorry still struggle with that one).
Great to see everyone that could make it, and to those who couldn't...well hope to see you at the next event!

HUNGER · « **Reply #69 on:** January 28, 2012, 19:18:19 »

had a great time meeting went off with a blast

cyberwollf · « **Reply #70 on:** January 28, 2012, 21:11:11 »

MMmmm meat pizza....

tidepool · « **Reply #71 on:** January 28, 2012, 22:32:10 »

I agree with ReefPlate (Pete???)... probably a good idea - before the drawing perhaps - to at least go around the room and do quick introductions - would help both old and new members - I know I rememeber lots of faces, but getting names straight is not not my strong point...

lazylivin · « **Reply #72 on:** January 28, 2012, 23:36:54 »

It was a good time.

micki · « **Reply #73 on:** January 29, 2012, 08:40:44 »

Sounds like it was fun! Sorry I missed it.

slandis3 · « **Reply #74 on:** January 29, 2012, 10:41:07 »

Yes we had fun and it was nice meeting everyone. We will get name tags for the next meeting. Brian, let me know if we need more I can get some tomorrow while I am out.
