Default Where to buy fish bags?

Well I will have to pack 50+ corals for my move so I need fish bags (100 possibly). Any clue where I can get those?

Very easy to deal with.

If your just moving across town large ziplock bags should work just fine

Or salt water buckets.

Although I see why you would individually bag them (more water, more dilution= less toxins) BUT its a trade up. Your going to spend an incredible amount of time trying to individually bag corals, as many will attest time is the enemy when doing any sort of tank transfer.

Thanks Sheena. I have sent Denny a PM and waiting to see whether he can help me out. If not, I might have to bug you to grab some bags

Thanks for the link Shelly. But they are USA based so I might not be getting them as soon as I need it. Thanks for the ziploc idea; that didn't came to my mind.

Well putting them in a tote would definitely be a quick solution but the problem is they will be transferred twice in 10 days span. And I will be using my brother-in-law's car. Those uphill and downhill ride can cause spill which I want to avoid at all cost. And the rolling of corals over one another. Tough time is coming for my tank.
