    I have been planning and putting together my parts and pieces for my 220 for quite some time now. I had finally got it all put together and water tested to do the transfer over from my current tank and the weekend I had planned on the move my pal Herman passed away. I then had surgery on my shoulder last Friday. Now my planned switch over is sitting in limbo again. This is where I am counting on my local club members assistance. I am so pumped to get this changed over but I am no longer able to accomplish this with my shoulder. I have the tank all ready to move into place with all plumbing in tact. I have 95 gallons of fresh saltwater already made up. I need to get some water containers or brute barrels to hold some of my current tanks water. what the move would entail is siphoning out and removing my fish from my current dual 93 gallon setup to enable us to move it out and then to move my new 220 into place adding new sand and filling up new tank. This isn't exactly how I envisioned me doing this but under the circumstances it left me with either a new tank not pleasing my wife too much sitting in our dining room or finding help to get this done. Let me know if anyone is interested in doing a cool build.I would like to do this on Sunday if possible.

    What time are you thinking? Mark me down either way, I can bring a brute trashcan if you need to borrow an extra.
