Greetings STL reefers. Need some help here after finally moving into our home. I have a custom tank sitting on a pallet and need for individuals to help move the tank downstairs in the basement .

Depending on when I could possibly help out. I also have 3 of the suction cups (4 but one doesn't hold the suction and I haven't spend the time to figure out why). Probably should have asked how big before I spoke up ;)

I was thinking over the weekend 28th or 29th of this month. I have two of the suction cup things, they are harbor freight ones. I do not know if I trust the suction cups I have fully.

The house is in Oakville.

We’ll be out of town on the 28th for sure doing the out of town Christmas stuff at grandma’s. We might be back on the 29th but not sure yet. But looks like you may have a couple other people available

I might push the tank move to the next weekend. This might be a busy weekend for all.

Depending on the time I may be available to help.
We would need at least two more. Setting a time, I like between 11 and 1pm? The tank is not a huge tank, 110 gallon. There are some corner going down the sets. The steps are wide, I am being careful.

Offer free lunch and beer!

If for some reason this doesn't work out I used a local LFS to help me move the tank. It costs more than lunch and beer, but it works.

ahhhh, the two scourges of any system. We just put in a water softener, along with whole house filter last week. today I am see the difference in the feel of the water. When I reset up my system, my thinking is with the water around here. The softener and filter system will help with contaminates. The softer water will be good for the system. Let's see, I should burn through less DI Resin also. This help with Dino's. You are on well water?


In regard to Aiptasia, I have had a few out breaks.
