Operation tank relocation 5dec2010 *unclassified*
4DEC is a nogo
There is a children's christmas party and the two with the keys to my houses will be running that. So date is slid to the 5th.
Okay, now that OPERATION TANK RELOCATION is in full swing here are the details...
Dec 5th ~ 0900 start for Locals. (Phase I - The capture and Relocation)
- Drain tank, capture inhabitants, bucket them, rock and coral.
- Blind fold inhaitants, spin around in 3 circles, place in heated van and transport to new location. (Don't want anyone trying to go back
)
- Place buckets in new house.
No need to really spin buckets to make fish dizzy
lids on the buckets would be optimal to prevent spilling in the tansporters vehicle.
Phase II ~ 1200 start for those very kind souls coming from off the little Island of Whidbey. (Phase II - Clean up, transfer hard ware, and the Rebuilding of the Empire)
- Dismantle tank, hood, stand, sump, etc.
- Load in vehicles
- Set up at new house
- Introduce water & rocks
- Acclimate fish to new tank water and release.
I'm not sure we have enough people that are showing up to have 8 stand around and watch and still have work get done
It might be close, we'll have to see.
I plan on having at least Pizza delivered to you guys. Hopefully I can get some brewski's available, as we all know, where there's labor, a brewskie should be nearby.

A guy named Kerry and a gal named Trish will be on scene all day to let everyone in the houses and help out. "Heading up" the evolution if you will.
I have asked if Todd (TJL) if he is able/willing to swing by ARSA to grab the sump/water xfr pumps, buckets, heaters, airpumps and towels. He's really busy with work so I have not heard back from him. I may need to get a back up plan for this.
I only have 4-5 buckets at my house, so if anyone has extras, that would be wonderful if the can be borrowed for acclimation. Maybe some air hose too.
Thank you very much to everyone that has helped me out on my move. It's a bigger challenge than one might think trying to orcastrate this a day in the future and thousands of miles away.
Thank you all very much.
Ryan
