Trip to Everson

[TheKraken]

I have some business in Everson as I will be transporting a 135 gal setup (6"X18") and a 75 gal setup (4"X18") up and bringing down a 300 gal (two 8'X2' components).

I can get a truck with an 8' bed but it is a tight fit for the tank and stand (width of the bed) and I know that a lot of people are really interested in the fish and livestock for sale. The challenge is that Kevin is hurt and not able to physically lift, catch fish, and move in all the ways needed to take the system down.

I have obligations this month with the exception of Dec 26 and Dec 31 and would like to see if we can pull together an informal work party to help a guy out.

I plan on working most of the day and would be happy to shuttle equipment that is paid for to the content of the seller and livestock at buyers risk.

If you have some time, interesting in some part of the tank, or large truck please post below. I will try to keep a running total of whom and when.

To update, I will be going up on the 26th with a box trailer and hope to arrive just before noon. If you want livestock/equipment please send a note before 6 pm Sunday night. I think there are 2 slots for carpool.

Merry Christmas to All!

Did this ever happen. Or is this going to be a trip for the 31st.

The trip went very well. I was able to get the 135 turtle tank setup (just add water) and drop the 75 so he can get everything stabilized and determine what he needs for the build. The big tank is VERY impressive and while plastic is lighter than glass, big tanks are still stupid heavy.

The next problem I will have is that the 300 gal is roughly 30X30" with the external coast to coast and one of the doors to the fish room is 29".

I highly recommend making the trip as the tanks are beautiful and the fish are absolutely amazing. Please let me know if I am needed on the 31st and I will try to be there!

Sorry I couldnt make it up on the 26th! is anyone going on the 31st? I can do that if we leave in the morning!

Hey Jeff, I would love to go up there on the 31st. I was not able to make it on the the 26th because of I had friends and family over. So if you would like I can drive up there and pick you up. I just set up my 29 and in the process modifying the lighting. So that I can possibly get some corals going in there.
