Scutterborn Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Im planning on picking up a tank in NW Austin on the weekend of the 25th. Is there any kind hearted souls out there who could swing by and just help me load the tank? I'm hoping for three volunteers. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scutterborn Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I was told its near river city aquatics. The deal is done and the money has been sent! I'll be picking up the weekend of the 25th. The day depends on everyone's schedules I'm flexible. Hopefully it will be a quick load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 great! i live 5min away from RCA. my only constraint is i have an obligation from 1130a-3p + travel time to 620/parmer for both sat & sun. btw, how big is the tank? suction cups are always handy.

Bill B Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 If it's who I think it is, he lives off Cypress Creek. So that would be north of RCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutterborn Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 It's the DSA 185 that was listed for sale in the forums. I was shooting for a 9am or so pick up but, I'm totally flexible. Hoping for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 could you pm us the addy? i'm still on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutterborn Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I don't know of anyone who has any glass handles but I am bringing the tank cart from my local club. The tank should weigh about 400 pounds empty. I don't wanna mislead anyone. I think it will be a breeze if we have one guy per corner. I've got some folks here in San Anto to help unload it.

(Bio)³ Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 If you end up needing one extra person I could come help, but I'm not getting up at 9 am to lift a tank I could help in the afternoon if thats when it is moved. I live 3 miles from RCA, can zip up there on my Big Ruckus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutterborn Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 I appreciate your honesty biocubed! Lol! I don't have the addy yet. I'll pm y'all the addy as soon as I get it for whoever confirms they can help. I'd like to shoot for Saturday afternoon if that works for everyone. Maybe 3:30 to 4:00. That way I'm not getting back to San Antonio too late to unload it. How does this sound? It really depends on what's easiest for you guys. Sounds like like Saturday afternoon fits best.

+mcallahan Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 If you can get your hand on some suction cups, it will make the job much easier. I just moved my tank and I'm estimating it weighed over 500 lbs. It took 5 guys to do it and w/out the cups, we would have been hosed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
