Default NEED HELP MOVING MY FISH TANK =(

wassup all,

im moving from san pedro to long beach (3rd street) and will need some help moving my tank. so far its like 5 people that are helping but we sure could use a few extra hands. the tank weighs about 350 lbs and its 7 feet long. the more hands we have on this thing the lighter it will be. plenty of Pizza Hut and beer on the house...

reeeeeaaaalllllyyyyy need a little help if anyone is free by the end of the month. i think we should be moving it on the 30th (3 days from now)

here are a few vids of my tank those that have not seen it.
thanks for any help everyone. much appreciated!

Damn... you can keep other fishes with sharks? That's crazy..

Are you moving from San Pedro in Walnut? I get off at 5ish so if you still need help, I can go help.

Chris, I've been meaning to meet with you and what not so this would be a good oppurtunity to kill a few birds with one stone. I should be able to help you out after work but if you do it after such as Friday and Saturday, I don't think I can make it.

Cool tank, I am on the other side of the hobby and have had reef tanks for years. Here is my latest one that is about 1.5 years old.

lolz wow... uhh, man, there is soooOOoOoOooOOOoo much to talk about / speak on regarding keeping salt water fish its impossible to cover in a few hours of writing. best advice is what the man above said, check out Reefcentral.com and get on there and learn as much as possible, NEVER go the cheap rout.... NEVER.... good stuff aint cheap and cheap stuff aint good! go learn the basics and then get back to me and i can help walk you through a few other things about sharks and rays that you wont learn on reefcentral.com ... lets just say it took me about 3 years to get to the point that i was not killing anything. AND my major was Marine Biology (i know, idiot.) but if you come help move this thing i will give your brain a re-flash and you should learn everything i know about SW fish in about 3.7 secs!
