Hello WAMAS gang, I was hoping if I could recruit some people to help me move my tank into my new home on 5/30/2015. that is Saturday a little over 3 weeks from now. I have zero experience in moving a tank and don't want to pretend that I do. However I do know that I will provide more food than you can eat and beer for you to drink! I hope to get some awesome advice in this thread as to how to avoid disasters and best practices.
the info you need: starting point ---> 3989 Cressida pl 22912
Saturday May 30 @11am until complete
40 NUVO High (I think it is around 35 gallons)
40 gallon top off tank
various supporting equipment
I know some of you are wondering why I can't do this on my own so here is a quick summary on why. I'm a late stage heart failure patient and currently have a artificial heart that is enabling me to stay alive. I can do most things normally but if you can imagine there are limitations:
1. I'm not water proof, i know it sounds weird but I have electronic equipment that can not get wet.
2. I can't lift anything heavy, I know I look normal (if you ignore the equipment) but muscles need oxygen to work properly, my pump delivers a specific amount of blood which is sufficient for activity but nothing strenuous. so it basically allows me to lift a 5 gallon bucket of water without feeling exhausted.
the move will be a total of 4 miles away, I'm moving from Woodbridge to Woodbridge! not a huge move but it would help if someone had a truck, we can use my minivan also!
in any case let me know if you want to help with the move, eat, drink or just watch the shenanigans!
thanks everyone
Josh
