Thanks Sara. I think I've got 6 or 7 guys lined up to lift the tank so hopefully it will go pretty smooth. When we moved it in I only had 4 guys and that bad boy was HEAVY!
Thanks Mark. The bin is in my mom's garage right now, the tank is still in my living room. The tank is drained with all the plumbing disconnected so I just gotta clean it up a bit and get it into storage. With any luck this should take less than 20 minutes.

Good luck on the move Dan. I heard some of the SGV reefers are coming over to help, I would be there to to help but I got work. But I van feed you guys if your willing to drive out to Anaheim, 
. The only way I can help out now is to feed the crew that helps a great man that has always helped me. I go Dim Sum till 3 if you guys can make it, there will be no waiting too, just let me know how many and I'll save you guys a table. LMK and good luck on the move.

Thanks Michael. Yeah the SVG reefers are really steppin' it up. I'm humbled by the offer of people that I haven't met in person (lowbudget and his bro) offering and coming down. Jimmy (Jimmy007), Tony (Avatar on WWC) and my buddy Terry (Stryker) are also showing up. Very cool dudes and I really appreciate their help :beer: Not sure that we'll be able to make it up, at least I won't...this is the last weekend that I have to finish packing the house and there is A LOT to do :worried: I am dying to get to your restaurant though, definitely after I finish the move.Good luck on the move Dan.

Thanks Brian, I appreciate it.

Well, getting it into storage went fine, no issues. Thanks to Stryker, Avatar and special thanks to the SGV crew (Jimmy007, lowbudget and "Bolo") for driving out so far to lend a hand. I know that a Double-Double isn't adquate compensation for your time (and muscle) and really owe you guys a favor. (BTW at some point we get to move it again 
) Thanks again fellas :thumbsup:
Here's the display's pitstop :sad2:

Oh, that's your screen name! I didn't know that was you dude. Thanks again for helping me out, I appreciate you guys coming out and I know that it's a long drive. Yeah, it is pricy but it also has to hold some of my wife's breakable keepsakes...it was the deal I had to make ahh...the right thing to do to keep her stuff safe :lol:

Gee thanks Mario, I appreciate the compliment and well wishes. Kinda feels wierd not having a tank to fiddle with and looking after the bin is not quite the same...actually kinda depressing. The best thing to do is to watch what I'm doing and do the opposite...it'll increase your chances of success :lmao: I see your looking for a bigger tank...please keep me informed, maybe I can help you stock it with a bunch of browned out cuttings

Wow Dan, I'm sorry to see the system taken down. Do you have a new home purchased yet or are you buidling a new home?
Best of luck with your garage situation, I'm sure your animals will pull though.
I'm finally back in the hobby today... Flooded a 45 gallon cube today. Its my first since August 2009.

Hey Patrick, congrats on jumping back in, now you gotta change your signature line :thumbsup:
Yeah, it's a drag not having the display up and when I finally get completely moved out (by the weekend) I'll have to think about things I'll do differently when I can get it back up. Not many people build or have their houses built for them out in SoCal these days. Looking for a "resale" home in very specific areas, actually totally driven by the schools my kids will attend.
What are you planning on doing with your tank...mixed, SPS, LPS, FOWLR? LMK if you start a build/stocking thread.

Thanks Bob, as well as can be with a bin as a "display" :sad1:
Happy Friday Sara. Had no internet access at the house this morning, the wife turned of the cable, internet and phone today. We just need to move a few more things, clean up and we're outta there.
