rox Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hi is anybody by any chance going through Otaki/Levin and then heading to or thru either Wanganui or Palmy. Garry and I have purchased a tank, from you know where and went down to pick it up today only to find the tank was too big to fit in either the boot or the back seat of our car!!! Its a lovely big Hex and the people we bought from were a little vague on the measurements and we thought we were picking up a 150-200 litre tank, instead its over 300 litres and 36cm across each side, 85cm high the diameter is approx 60cm from flat to flat. It probably would fit into a stationwagon (I think) or a van or people mover or like. If anyone could get it to us in Wangaui or to Sandysme in Palmy it would be greatly appreciated, in return we have FISH. For those that don't know us we have Livebearers and Fighters. Any suggestions would also be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 If it does fit into the back of a wagon and someone can get it as far as Bulls we can get it to Wanganui when we next go over there (unsure when we go over relatively often) as we need to see Rox's setup anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be a super tank just a lot bigger than what we thought :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandysme Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I dont have a problem with taking it over from palmy to wanganui if it can get to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rox Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I dont have a problem with taking it over from palmy to wanganui if it can get to me... Thanks Sandy, it would fit in your van for sure we measured up the base last night and the diameter is 67cm! It'd be really cool if someone was going thru that way during the week or even during Queens Birthday weekend. Of course we are happy to pay $'s too help with gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rox Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Thanks guys We are working on it from our end too, I am getting even more impatient :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rox Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 And again!!!!! We had a fantastic plan yesterday and would have had the tank here by Teatime :lol: but alas there was no-one home to help lift the tank in the car and it is a 2 person job, so the stationwagon came up tankless Is anyone coming thru Wanganui/Palmy/Bulls over the long weekend who could pick it up for us as I said tho it is a 2 person job and the people are away for the weekend so won't be there to help but the tank will be out for collection, on the deck - not the side of the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LYNDYLOO Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm in Levin, can I ask who you brought the Tank Off, (PM me if you like, I more than likely know the people that sold it to you, maybe I can go and pick it up off them or they could drop it off to me) Could possibly take it to Palmy over the weekend, if I talk nicely to hubby, maybe we could even bring it through to Wanganui for you.

rox Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Haha, I know which tank . Really small world, the guy selling that tank was my eldest sons best friend at primary school, when we lived in Wainui. Then they moved to Waitarere Beach. Probably where the tank is.
