So much for friends!

[digger]

Although I can't blame any of them. I just watched all my friends scatter like roaches when I mentioned I'm moving again. So here is the dilema. I have a 210 and 2 120 gal tanks that have to get moved again. I was curious to see what other people have done when help is at the minimal level. I need to do this and it seems like no one will help. I'm sure others have had this dilema so what did you do?

That totally sucks, I've helped plenty of people move and I'm sure they won't return the favor. My suggestion would be hire a moving company. Look at it this way if anything happens to your tank they have to pay for it. (assuming they're insured).

I did it by myself with only a handtruck for loading and unloading as well as getting on the stand. Was NOT easy.

I had my family help. If that is not an option and my friends bailed then I guess I would try it with just the girly (pre-500g) or toss 20 dollars a neighbors way.

I have thought about the hand dolly and some plywood. I was also curious as to how I would get the tanks on the stands. This seems like a tough one! Haha!

friends who won't help you move are . . . not friends

 

[gangster]

tell em the beer is on you and you'll get a gang of buddies. You gotta offer em something in return.

I always do and everyone knows there's liquid lunches and dinners everytime I move. I'm pretty sure people would help if the tanks weren't involved but since they are everyone has scattered. It is the worst part of moving but now its going to be even worse.
