help me move a giant tank

[opabinia]

At approximately 9pm tonight, I'll pull up at the House of Exile with a 180-gallon, 7-foot-long aquarium. I will need assistance moving it up the steps to the front porch. I must then rush away to return the rental truck.

So far, I have two volunteers. I will definitely need at least two more, possibly three more. I would have asked earlier, but there have been family health issues, so I have had an unpredictable schedule. If you have time tonight, please help me -- it's for Fluffy. :)

Please contact my cellphone (via voice or text), unless you have already emailed me. Thanky.

i'd totally help out, but i've never met you and don't know where you live. however, i'd do anything for a cute lungfish in need.

Thanks for the thought. I've actually postponed the tank-fetching, because I realized I've been trying to rush this too much. It's been a fucked-up week.

Fluffy and I reside in the Boston area. I've bet we've walked right past each other in the clubs. I mean you and I, not Fluffy.

Holy cats.

I just did the math. That's 1440 pounds of water. Add in the weight of the tank (takes 4 to move it? 150-200 poounds?) and equipment, gravel, tank stand, and Fluffy, and jesus is that going to be heavy.
