    Awesome, well guys I need some help, I just picked this used complete turnkey 500 gallon (9'x3'x30"), everything but the fish, however, I need at least 2 more guys to help moving it.

    I already have 3 posiblly 4 people, myself, 1 more reefer and 1 fellow who is supplying a 16ft trailer he and his son, so thats 4 of us...the guy supplying the trailer says he use to move large outdoor spa's and has some easy moving tricks up his sleeve so we dont have to do very much lifting.

    But I need at least 1-2 guys who can help me prior to move day with getting the plumbing un-done, I dont know how to do any of that.

    The guy with the trailer says Fri/Sat/Sun am is preferred bcus his son has to be home and ready to go to work at 2pm....so it can be either this weekend or the next.

    So if any of you guys are willing to help and know about how to un-do the plumbing that would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I will provide Pizza and beverages (soda/beer/gatorade).

    Let me know, if so pm me your #.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Jon

    Looks like you got a steal. I can probably help you with the plumbing but moving will be because i had my neck and back rebuilt and that would mess me up for ever. If possible I can help you in the other aspects. Sorry.

    ***UPDATE*** I need at least another 4-5 people.
    The move is scheduled for Sunday the 7th, morning, however I don't have enough help for the move, so far I have myself, 1 local reefer, 1 more person who is supplying a 16' trailer and possibly his son, so we are 3-4 as of now.

    The lifting itself is going to be minimal as the goal is to set everything on 3 dollies and wheel it into/out of the trailer, the lifting itself will be just to get it onto the dollies.

    Anyone who can offer theyre help would be much appreciated, please let me know, pm me your #.

    Thanks,
    Jon

    If it is next Sunday I may be able to help. I work on Saturdays. I live in NPR . PM me and let me know the exact date and time and I'll see if I can help you out. Is this an acrylic tank? How much does it weigh?
