Do you guys think that temperature is safe enough or should I wait until temperatures will be warmer?
Thank you.

My last 2 orders in Feb, from separate vendors, both had issues. One the water arrived at 94F, everything DOA and very smelly
. The 2nd, arrived at 57F and I lost two frags within a couple days. The former I got full credit including shipping, the latter no credit because it wasn't DOA. FWIW, neither vendor is a canreef sponsor, but I have ordered from one of them in the past a few times with success and vendor response was great. The replacement order showed up at 75.7F, much better!
My advice, make absolute sure you open the package within 1-2 hours (and check water temp) in case it is DOA for the policy credit.
