That's what I was thinking.

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.

Thanks, now it makes sense.

That's funny that you were trying to be unrelated and instead ended up making sense.

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!

Just remember to double bag the sailfin, they are really good at slicing through bags. :wink: :laugh:

Yeah I should have taken my Sailfin to the game...darn. Maybe he can come for the playoffs :lol:

I wonder how much beer he can drink?!? I bet he can drink like a fish!

The only thing I worry about is how he will handle the noise.

This might be better then a plastic bag if you want to take your sailfin to the game

Super!

Where can I get a few of those? Do they have a smaller size though? Its kind of big for just the Sailfin.

I'm sure the corals would be fine. However I think the sailfin would produce alotta waste and ammonia would buildup. A couple drops of amquel in the bag should reduce the risk.

Nah I think he should be fine. I don't feed him. Not much waste.

Well with the Flames loss tonight its looking more and more like the Sailfins first hockey game will be sooner than later since the Canucks now have a good shot at home ice for the playoffs...so I will snap some pics of him at game 1 ;)

I wonder if he would prefer a darker beer? He kind of seems like a Guinness type but the problem with that is it will really cloud up his bag :( I guess I will stick with a lighter beer so he can still see the game.
