there's no catch, no scam, etc... free.

baby is on the way, we're moving, and I just don't have the time, energy, nor space to store the tank until I can set it up again in the future.

you'll have to come with your own vehicle to move it, buckets for black sand, hose to siphon it (sorry, i'm terribly equipped for breakdown), manpower to move it, AND, most importantly, SOON

This is how the tank stands right now:

standard 6x2x2 tank.
welded steel stand, powder coated.
100g acrylic sump

given that time is a concern, it's *mostly* first come first served. I'll caveat it by saying, if there's a lot of interest, I reserve the right to pick someone that's in good standing on the forum over someone who is an unknown, but timing still trumps all (so if you're in great standing but can't pick up for 2 weeks, you're going to be passed over)

there's a ticking clock - if the tank is not gone by Sunday, i'll be hiring a moving company to move it into storage for me. I don't want to do it because it's an expense that is not very smart for me, since i'll have to hire them again to move it to the new house once I buy it. I'm hoping someone can take advantage

Im not sure youre thinking this through Jeff. That thing is big enough to house your baby for several years and then you can set it up again. Im just saying. Its something to think about before its gone.

i really want to hang onto the tank. i'm keeping all the peripherals that goes with the tank (skimmer, pumps, lights, blah blah blah) in expectation of setting up a new tank in another year or 2, but the logistics of moving the tank 2 times in close succession is just too much to take on right now - unless i absolutely have to.

If no one grabs it by sunday though, i guess i'll be hanging onto it, and hopefully setting it up at the new house.. :)

If you decide to move it to storage I'm willing to help move it
I appreciate the offer, i really do, but i'm in scramble mode now, and can't dedicate a full day to tank juggling.. >_<

83 days til EDD (estimated due date)
60 days for house sale / escrow on buying and selling end

that leaves me 20-ish days to do the work in the house and finish packing up a seriously overpacked garage.. ahhhhhh

total tangent, and some will tune this out, but it came as a directive from God 5 months into pregnancy, that i'm suppose to uproot my wife and I from Long Beach, and move us to Corona, to a bigger, and more family oriented neighborhood..

i don't doubt that this is what i'm suppose to do, but i'm just wishing there was more padding on the timing.. most of my baby stuff is buried in the back of the storage unit.. ahhhhhh!
