Tomorrow morning (Saturday) I have someone coming over to pick up my tank. Problem is I have a back injury and can't help lift this 150 gallon tank from my livingroom into my truck. I'm hoping that someone local to Arcadia would be willing to lend a hand (or strong back) so early on a Saturday. Just about everything is gone related to the tank so I really don't have much to offer in trade, other than a cup of coffee and a "Thank you" :D

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

LOL the crickets are chirping.. If I wasnt thousands of miles away I would help :) I think you need to spice up this deal, maybe some free Donuts or make it night time and offer free Beer, you will surely get a lot of help. Remember these RC bums need motivation and the stomach works best :) Free Bump for your post so don't cuss me :D
 
I know what its like to need a hand in a pinch. I might be available in the morning as long as its before 10am
 
How far is it from Orange County. I have strong back since The Marine Corps had me bend over backward in the last 9 Years. I don't need anything for trade. Just want to help out fellow reefer. can we be a little early because i have to be at work at 1030 or 11 in the morning. Let me know.
 
Looks like we have the buyer and his friend, but it wouldn't hurt to have a backup person.

BTW, Arcadia is a bit of a drive for thos who offered from OC, but the buyer may appreciate help once we get it to his house in Orange. Pickup is taking place at 8:30 now so shold be down that way before 10.

thanks,
Ken
 
Ken, its a bit of a drive but I don't mind coming out to lend a hand. Just let me know if you need someone or not.

Hi reefer714, I'm in the city of Orange. Please pm me if you're able to help and where you're from. I might be able to pick you up.

I'm buying everyone that can lend a hand an authentic German sandwich and German beer of their choice.

Thanx everyone.
 
Lastin1, hey i am in westminster. Where in orange ? Sorry i woke up late. Let me know if you still need any help. Why don't you drop me a call in the next 10 mins . I'll PM my phone number
 
congrats Ken on selling the tank. and congrats lastin1 for purchasing a beautiful setup. my gf and I would have liked to gone with a 150, but after calculating expenses IE electricity, we decided the 120 would probably be better for us now haha. Time for the new tank Ken!

Yinger, i don't think there is much different between 120 and 150 as far as electricity.

haha, in Irvine, each excess kWH is $.31
 
Thank you everyone for volunteering to help. I will surely return the favor if anyone needs any help. Thank you Ben and Mark for your help this morning. I still owe you guys the german sandwich in beer. :) Thanks Ken for the nice looking tank.
 
I want to second that, thanks so much to Marc and Ben for coming out this morning and lending their backs. Guys like them is what makes this hobby great. I'll be tankless for a while but will return in a few months.
