Aquarium Advice Activist
And surprise, it isn't a tank. It's me. I know this is an advice forum, so I'm going to give some. If you are a small female, DO NOT attempt to lift and carry a 30gallon tall aquarium full of rocks by yourself.
I know, you're probably thinking "duh!" ... well, I apparently my common sense fled for a moment whilst I heaved the thing from my car, up the stairs and into my house. It was almost too much for me to pick up at all, but somehow I managed to get it into my house, and onto a stand even. All by myself.
I now have severe muscle and tendon strain in my back, neck, shoulders and left arm (according to doc). He said it is going to take over a week to heal. I even have to miss work. So I guess my advice is, don't be an idiot like me. I wish there were an emoticon with a dunce cap on. :dunce:
Team Lift! (im thinking that should be my new user name... hee hee hee)
