Good references, and I agree with you Anthony Calfo is a great resource.
Another reason it didn't take off (maybe)...who is losing corals during shipping anyway??? I personally made a couple mistakes when I first started shipping and learned a couple things (and had to replace pieces that did not survive), but have since since had nothing short of great results shipping. And I in no way invented a new way of shipping, I only follow what other people have done with success in the past.
Procedures for fish though are much different that corals/frags because of the change in pH.

I imagine that the reson dry-shipping didn't take off was fairly simple: the average punter can't see it as a good idea -- initially it seems cruel, irrational, or cut-corner cheap. Too much effort is required to explain it, so people get what they expect. |
