better to put them in his tank till you get there.

Ok.

I have had stuff shipped over a few days before instead of overnight. I never worried about the minimal waste a few small frags will make.

May as well get him to take them out I guess. I just think its more stressful for them to be in three different tanks over two days.

EDIT: I have never had a problem in the past...not sure why I was even asking

I thought it was great.

I was trying to come up with something equally obtuse to reply with.

Oops, I mean, but did Purolator not send you a tracking #? That's where I'd start with this.

No I have some frags coming. My friend is picking them up today after they were sent out overnight. I can't get them from him until tomorrow morning at 9am. So they will be in bags for about 48hours. Floating in his tank of course for about 12 hours.

I was asking about possibly problems but then I realized I used to get stuff shipped in the US from Live Aquaria over 2 days and never had a problem. That was usually from the Carolinas to Miami.

Waste in the bags in not really a concern for frags IME. Actually not even really with colonies in the past. Its just two days. Long as they stay warm, I have never had a problem.

So I changed it to 'nevermind' since I don't really have anything to ask.

aw nuts, I tried to come up with something totally random and unrelated and it turns out it wasn't completely off the mark since the original post had something to do with shipping.

wow 2 days i guess wouldn't you get some kind of gas exchange in the bag, where the water is staying warm, and usually when water slowly coolsoff the PH will drop some causing the water @%T$# T%Y$^T #

AH NEVERMIND

Sorry Tony...

Actually what I was really asking is whether its ok to keep my corals in individual bags instead of my tank because I find it easier to look at them. I figured it should be fine as long as I shake them up once a day for flow and only keep one fish per bag. Plus obviously I would put my Sailfin in the biggest bag. I guess some thought the waste would build up in the bags but I think it should be fine. Whats the difference between keeping them in bags on the way home from the LFS and keeping them in bags indefinitely?

I know...no real difference huh?

Oh look, Im late for the Canucks game, I better leave bagging my corals until after. Gotta go...last game of the year, don't wanna be late. Especially since I have been late to pretty much every game this year because I ramble on Canreef before I leave!
