Jimbo662 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I know it's not much notice but I just got word from Travis that my tank will be delivered at Niko's tomorrow. Pick up will be at Niko's say around 2pm (if everyone can make that time) on Saturday, March 28th. Can push to Sunday if not everyone can make it on Sat. Delivery in north Round Rock off University Blvd. Tank is 72" x 27". I had this same tank in my last house and was able to move with 4 people total. I don't think we'll need more than 4 volunteers. I'm going to try to just rent a small uhaul truck so we can get everything in it rather than trying to round up an additional truck. Figured we could do pizza this time since the last two were BBQ. Ty, can I borrow your tie straps? I've got a furniture dolly if we decide to roll it inside. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The tie straps are all yours to borrow James. I'm going to have to miss out on the moving party if its Saturday. It's my mom's birthday. I may be available Sunday to help though if it ends up on that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOceanTraveler Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 For what it is worth...I'll be there. I can be there either day anytime. How exciting. So happy for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrEnuf Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Should be able to make this one, will confirm Friday. I drive an F250, but I don't know that will the rolling bed cover I have 67" to the gate. If you don't mind the back 6" or so on the gate you won't need the trailer.

Jimbo662 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 OOOOHHHH...and F250 would be great! I've got a Tacoma so I'll be using the tailgate too. I've got the tank, stand and hood to load. Thanks so much! Thanks Lara...the more the merrier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks Vu...I think we'll have enough...and I'm sure Travis would like it out of his store as soon as possible. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOceanTraveler Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I can bring my s10 pickup for misc odds and ends if needed. If not I'll bring the car. I'm good either way just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SChrisEV Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I can help move, I likely will not stick around after in Saturday, I have not had much time to work on my stand and Saturday is my day to do so. Sunday works better for me, but I can make either work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks Chris. We should have plenty to help load at the store with Travis / Chris there. If we don't get enough volunteers I may ping you to help with the unload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SChrisEV Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If you don't have my cell, PM me and I will provide it. I'm only a few minutes from Niko's, and/or can join on the unload at a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo662 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 WOOHOO...another successful tank move! Thanks to "Jason & Amber", Jason (nvrEnuf) and Lara (TheOceanTraveler) and my non-reefer friends and the guys at Niko's!!! I love this set up. I had this same tank in my house in Hutto but didn't have the stand hood. Great build quality on them. DSA does a great job!!! Setting it up so that it separates the computer desk from the living room area...kinda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrEnuf Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 you're welcome James, it was a pleasure meeting you and everyone else. The tank looks AWESOME in person, even empty, and even while being told not to imagine coral in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reburn Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Oooohhhhh is this the new coffin. Discus? Amazon? Details details please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 HA...yep I figured I could kill two birds with one stone and cut down on my funeral expenses. I'd thought of doing discus but decided I didn't want to have to do so many water changes. More amazon...angels, tetras, maybe some rainbows, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
