Man I havent been to some of the places you all are speaking of in years. Especially Sherman's I didn't even know they closed. I feel a little stupid because i have been sending people out there and they were closed. No wonder they all said they couldn't find it. Hey if somene can place the maps to these places on this thread from map quest so we can get an idea of where all these places are that would be great.

Cool Idea, maybe we could get a Colorado fish store thread going. Hey you did know Shermans moved the first time to 64th and Wadsworth or were you sending people over to 72nd and Fdereral Anyhow Shermans has reopened at 83rd and Sheridan (near to the Seven Eleven store).

Nah I was just telling people Sheridan! Go until you see it on the right if your going west after federal. I use to live off of 88th and Broadway for a while. Actually I have played all over this city so nothing is hard for me to find!

I know this isn't exactly the right place for this, but my cousin was thinking about buying my 125 gallon tank and I was going to use the money to buy a 7x2x2 I found (plus some more money, obviously), but he is going to PA for 2 months, so he decided not to right now. Long story, sorry, but I really want to get the 210 but need a little cash first, so just seeing if anyone might be interested in it for, say $400? It is all-glass brand, 72x18x22 w/ all-glass brand stand and glass tops w/ lights (not canopy). One of the glass pieces broke on one of the lids, but I put a longer plexi piece in to fill in the top since I don't have all the plastic filler pieces. If no one is interested, do you think I could get $400 fairly easily on CraigsList?

Looking forward to the meet-up on Saturday.

I would grab that for $4bills! I am looking for one but one for dirt cheap!

Thanks Ken for the info that was great! I bet there are a few here some of have never seen I know I haven't . Cool hook up. Thanks. Are any of you already members of any of these club's? If so list it and let us know what you think. Maybe we can all join a couple of the club's? I checked out the group Dexman informed us about and thought that was a nice looking set up they had there. So just more food for thought.

My dad has an auto repair shop in Loveland and they have a 55 gal, so they are going to buy the 125 from me, so it's sold and if the 210 is still available, I should be picking it up this weekend. I'm excited. I may end up having to miss the meet-up if this all works out

 

[pwmin]

I was going to get some of my friends to help me pick up this tank and stuff, but I was wondering if, maybe, some of you would be interested in helping me load it up. I will have help unloading it, it's just loading it that's going to take some coordination. Anyone know how heavy a 210 is? It only took two of us to move the 125 I have, so the 210 shouldn't be a problem for 4, should it?

 

[Bderick67]

Don't know the exact weight of the 210g, but my 180g weighs approx 375 lbs(glasscages brand). The biggest thing is that the tank being 24" wide it is much harder to pick up and carry then a 18" wide tank. I would say that 4 men would be needed.

I possiblely could help depending on the time, place. Let me know.

OK, thanks. I'm not exactly sure where in the Denver area it is. I just sent him an email about that. I am not trying to intrude on anyone and I certainly dont' want anyone to feel obligated or anything like that, especially if it a ways a way from Mike's. I'm not sure how long we're going to be at Mike's and the guy is wanting to watch UFC Saturday night, so it might not even work out unless we could load it up before the meet-up. I'll keep everyone posted.

edit: the guy lives in Centennial, so that's pretty far from Mike's. I'll figure something out if nobody wants to help since it's so far away. Again, I don't want to inconvenience anyone and I certainly don't expect any help. We would have to do it before the meet-up, so if anyone is interested, please let me know as soon as you can.
