Need Help Moving Tanks & Fish

[myjohnson]

For sure I'm help tomorrow. I can bring two coolers. Let me know if you need them.

[geoff_tropheus]

Saturday's Plan...
0. Get both locations pythons attached, Dos Equis, water, & coke in the Refer. 8am-9am
1. Zoo Tour 9:45am till 11:30am
2. Don'Key's Mexican Resturant on Spencer Highway in Pasadena Noon till 1pm
3. My Apartment 1:15pm till whenever we get all my no snail tanks moved, and then possible the two 180's that have snails if time permits. My 300 gallon, both 150's, 115, and the smalls (29,20L,20L).

Sunday Plan
1. My apartment 2:30pm to move both 180's if they did not get moved on Saturday.

I REALLY want a PM or a post if you like, that you will be here tomorrow and what you are brining.

My biggest concerns are Dolly's for the 180 gallon tanks, extra coolers and buckets that HAVE NO SNAILS for fish transport, and anything else you feel is beneficial to bring.

Please include what you will be bringing.

Thanks,

Geoff

I got all my stuff. I got you covered on tubs for the fish. I will def. be there for the move. BTW...Don'key is the *****. I got 4 of the heavy duty suction cups too.

There is no drinking at Don'Keys its that simple.. its lunch.. nothing more. :) I just dont get to come over to your side of the world often and this is why I like going there.. its excellent food.

Here is what I am bringing with me.
15ft 1" spa hose to drain tanks with. It will put 150g of water out the window in a matter of 10 minutes.
16ft 1.5" spa hose (coiled up) with carbon for filling. 200gph fill rate.
50ft hose which goes from the carbon hose to the tank. I just need to have hose from the spigot to the carbon filter. The carbon filter sits outside the house so all spills that could occur would be outside the house and not inside your house so you have clean that.

I used to have furniture dollies, but mom took them back the other week because she needed them. :(

Things I will bring extra.
I will bring an extra large tub where fish can live while things are bring transported.
absolutely brand new (less than 1 month old) has never seen water where snails could have been involved.

I can bring 3 buckets which have been dried out for quite some time. They are salt buckets which ADG gave me to carry my cyps home in. Hopefully you or MB can get some huge bags which can go inside each of the buckets and this way if there has ever been snails involved with these buckets they still will not make it to the house.

Jesper you know I was not singling you or anyone out...all I am saying is if everyone goes to the Don'Key and gets all full on Mexican Food and Magarita's...who's going to be working then?

I need hard working people...its fishes lives at stake. We dont have time for leaning & lounging..

You got time to lean, you got time to clean!!!

[geoff_tropheus]

I have made measurements that the waterhose will reach every tank.

I also have enough python hose from the Kitchen sink to reach everyone as well.

We will be ready waterwise, electrical wise,...

Things we may need...

Furniture Dolley's from Derek for the 180's
Suction cups might also help
I need SNAIL FREE NO FN SNAIL buckets for transporting fishes.

No black leather - I'm more "Indiana Jones" than "Nick." )

Plus, it would have to be pleather, and that's just uncomfortable!

[myjohnson]

Will you be wearing black leather? )

[Mzungu]

Jesper, there is one (wow, word is slipping my mind!) Spigot? What's that word? Anyways, there's one place on the side of the house to attach a hose. Just one, though. Geoff's already made all necessary measurements and made sure he has the corect length of hoses to run from that spigot to every single tank.

I will be there, but will be behind Geoff with a whip, just in case someone gets the bright idea not to listen to him. He's the boss, you know! :)

[Zulaab]

Goeff.. are there a hose attached to the side of the house ? (to fill with ?)

[Zulaab]

I am there to work when I get to your place.
I know what my limits are, and I will ensure that I am ready to work after going to Don'keys.. no complaining from me I promise you that..

[geoff_tropheus]

The Zoo Tour is over 11:15-11:30am

That means I should be back my place 12-12:15

Just depends on the tour..we might meet at Don'Keys at 12:15 and then start tanks at 1:30...but I dont want to hear I am all stuffed and cannot work now.. Then you can just keep stuffin on down the road then... :)

[Zulaab]

Yeah I believe that is the place.. I am hoping to talk Geoff into making this the primary eating place before going his apartment for work. Cannot work on an empty stomach

Going to stop by the Mexican place near Geoff's place for food, then head over to Geoff's apartment to work.

the don-keys !?! that place was good. next time im in town im gonna have to stop by your place geoff and check out the new 300....

[Zulaab]

I will be there after the zoo tour. Going to stop by the Mexican place near Geoff's place for food, then head over to Geoff's apartment to work.
I will be bringing my drain and fill kits with me.
Geoff.. you check to make sure that you have water hoses attached to the OUTSIDE of the house ? I need one for my refill kit to work. Of course Carbon filtered water, about 200 gph, but I guarantee that your fish will 100% love the water they get into.
