mrk13p Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Whatever you do, don’t use those cheap $20 ones that claim to hold like 400 lbs per handle. Rent the ones you can pump and has a suction gauge. I learned the hard way with Jorge’s tank lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I've suggested the club get at least one pair. They save backs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does a red sea 650 peninsula weigh... seems like that is our new standard these days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash21 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Too bad I did not have more noticed. I could have picked up from our shop in wilsonville. Best of luck Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those have a 150 lb/ handle capacity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I personally would do 4 of the 75lbs so two sets or 2 of the 150s 1 set. With 4 you can distribute the weight being lifted to multiple spots. Thats just my opinion though. All comes down to the club's budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakky Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 They were a godsend when we were moving your beast of a tank Brian, absolutely worth every penny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Yeah looks like we will have to do this one without them. Unless some window guys here have some to lend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 i borrowed them from another member. doesnt feel right just passing his info along. the club should look into having two pairs on hand. they really do work well..Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
