I need help!!!!!

[TriMax]

I need help.

Here is my story. I got an email from a fellow who works at the place where I work. He is moving out of the country. He wanted to sell his 180g tank. Well, not the tank by all of the inhabitants and the system, too. Randy and I go to his house today, Monday, and get the corals that should not be but in a system that is not stable. Randy will safegaurd them for me.

Now for the “I need help” part. I will need to get all the rest of the stuff this Saturday. Corals, rock, fish, other critters, water, and all of the hardware will need to be moved â€"œ actually everything except the tank. I will need several hands, a few strong backs, and lots and lots of MT salt buckets. I can come get the buckets if you will let me borrow them. Although, I would rather have you and your buckets. My truck will probably not hold all the stuff. So, I will need another vehicle or three for that also. I live on the west side of Knoxville in Farragut and the tank to be moved resides in Oak Ridge.

We can have our first meeting at my house. HA! HA!!

I suppose that is one way to motivate you to get your system going.

I'll check and see if I can help out. Something is telling me I had plans, though -- can't quite remember at the moment...

 

[modifyd]

PM me with the details I might beable to help out for a few hours. I also have a few buckets.

 

[TriMax]

Pm sent.

Scott, thanks, LMK -- Yes this is a jump start ok. Two or three weeks ago I gave myself until Labor Day to do something, just something. This is a little more than I bargained for.

I am hoping to start in Oak Ridge at 9 or 9:30. Although, I am normally up on Saturday before 7. I will have to miss my early Saturday morning meeting this week.

Eddie, I'd help but I have to work.

I've got a few buckets you can borrow though, only three of which seal very well (two of which are cat litter buckets that don't close very well). I wish we had all those Kent salt buckets that we all used to have!

If you want them, let me know and I will drop them off on Thursday.

I will need them back by the first of next week though.

oh man, i'm sorry eddie, my best friend and her family are coming in from roanoke for the weekend on friday.

i have a few buckets...nothing to write home about. when i was "cooking" my rock in the beginning i used those big rubbermaid clothes baskets. i do have like 3 of those you're welcome to borrow.

i do have lots of room in my tank yet tho if you need me to hold onto anything until you're up. and i can block butter cup to the deeper part of the fuge so half the fuge would be reef safe. just an option...

i'm really sorry i can't help...it actually sounds like fun to me.

good luck, and i wanna see pics! how about an "eddies 180 build" thread?

I can't help, have to work, but I can offer 3 buckets with screw on tops and several more with snap on tops that work well. I work out in west Knoxville so I can meet up this week and give them to you but I will need them back when you're done.

Eddie,
I wish that I could help, but I'm out of town until Saturday afternoon.

 

[macclellan]

PM me if you don't have enough help or buckets already.
I've got 2 topless 5g buckets and 2 5g water jugs with tops.

 

[TriMax]

Runner, modifyd, macclellan, and ct_vol are going to help. If each had some buckets, I think I may have enough containers. Of course I was wrong about that Monday.

Meet me at my house (PM for address) at 8:30 on Saturday morning or at the fellow's house where the tank is (PM for address) at 0900.

Others can come and help too

LMK

 

[ct_vol]

I have no more buckets... You have them all... lol If you don't bring them, I have none...

 

[planejane]

Good luck with the move Eddie, and the new set up. Looks like you have enough strong backs with no weak minds to help out. Can't wait to see the results.

 

[Runner]

I do not have any buckets to bring (having loaned the few I have out here or there and never sought them back). But I can bring along a 30G rubbermaid tub that I used for top-off water when I go on long trips.

 

[TriMax]

Scott -- If you bring the 30g tub, I will bring it back to you at the swap

Randy -- I am almost sure that I left you at least one bucket, lol


Thanks guys, OH, thanks Janie

 

[ct_vol]

Eddie~ I forgot I have to work on Saturday... I should be done by 11 though... I will call you and either head to your house or Andres...

 

[TriMax]

I thought that you said you had to work, but you were telling Ashley and me on Monday that you were going to help on Saturday. I was confused, but figured it was only be that was confused Give me a call and I will let you know where we are in the process.

Thanks

Eddie

 

[ct_vol]

I got too excited... I love setting up tanks and I'm all about getting you set up sooner rather than later... :lolspin:

 

[EvilMel]

I think we're officially past sooner...

 

[macclellan]

PM me your address or call me Eddie.

 

[TriMax]

PM with address sent.

thanks
