Fazio92 January 16, 2012 January 16, 2012 Hey Everyone, So i figure saturday would be a perfect time to look for help to lift the 320gal onto the stand i just finished, since a lot of people will be attending the reef meet in VA anyhow. I live in Reston, about 10-15min from the location of the reef meet, so either before or after the meet works for me. Please use the polling option so i can gauge when would be best for everyone who would like to help can stop by. I need at least another 7 people to lift this thing, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -Anthony

Coral Hind January 18, 2012 January 18, 2012 How many people do you have lined up? Remember last time how many didn't show up.
Fazio92 January 18, 2012 Author January 18, 2012 How many people do you have lined up? Remember last time how many didn't show up. 9 including myself. So... if anyone just wants to come anyhow (just in case) you are more than welcome too
Coral Hind January 20, 2012 January 20, 2012 I just wanted to confirm that this is still on for tomorrow, 11am.
Fazio92 January 20, 2012 Author January 20, 2012 I just wanted to confirm that this is still on for tomorrow, 11am. Yup still on. 11am. Everyone who is coming please park on the street as there are going to be a lot of cars and all the parking spaces are for my neighbors. the first two cars can actually park right in front of my place around the circle. text me if you have any questions (my # is in the PM's i sent out to everyone). Thanks! -Anthony
Fazio92 January 21, 2012 Author January 21, 2012 Tank lift is still on. The roads are not bad at all in Reston. The tank is inside right next to the stand, so no worry for icy injuries -Anthony
