  • I need help getting my new 90g tank on the stand

    My new 90g tank is in my garage, and I have no way of getting it inside the house and onto the stand. My husband says his back hurts. Just moving the 29g from its stand to another and then back was very difficult. I left everything inside it and just drained the water so it was heavy, but my husband was saying he couldn't lift it and almost crushed my fingers in the process.

    Then he said he'd help me move the 90g tank yesterday. Then it was today. My daughters don't want to help, and I'm not sure they can even if they did want to. I'm pretty much stuck.

    I really need two strong men to help move this thing. I just need to get it out of the garage and onto the stand. I can handle things by myself after that. I want to get this tank going, and I don't know how I can do it without getting someone to help.

    Can anyone please help me out? I really want to get this tank going.

    I feel your pain...I get paid on Friday so I can afford the gas to make it out there to help. If I can make it I will try to bring a friend with me. I will let you know as the time gets closer.

      I'll be more than happy to pay for your gas! No problem there.

      Is there any chance you or anyone else could move it anytime earlier than Friday? Like maybe tomorrow? Okay, so I'm being impatient. Seriously, I'll take the help whenever I can get it. I'm just thankful to be able to get some help!

        I literally have no gas in my car until Friday when I get paid...this week I had my birthday and my girlfriends as well...so we kind of over-spent on this paycheck! I SHOULD be available this weekend. I will shoot you a pm when the time comes.

            Baytown to sugarland is no quick drive...but when a fellow 'boxer is in need I dont mind helping. Heck I showed up at your house John at like 8am to help empty the pond for the auction! I mean what is the point of having a forum(other than bragging) if you cant rely on the others that use it for help.

                          Thank you, Rico! Tim said he can also help after 7pm so if we can find an evening that works for us all, we'd be good to go. I sent you a PM to check on days.
