Unboxing my order

[Samw]

Here are some pics of my order as I unboxed it and of the frags acclimating in a container. I couldn't believe that the SPS maintained a lot of their color and the polyps of all corals were extended during acclimation.

Great packaging, prices, selection, service and arrive alive guarantee. Such a pleasant experience compared to my previous experience buying frags privately and getting no arrive alive guarantee on DOA. Can't wait to order more. I'm already making a list. Thanks Isabelle and everyone at Canada Corals.

That would be Fauna Marin Carb L. That's what we use for shipping.

Whats the reason for adding carbon to the shipping bags?

I think it helps keep the water clean and clear probably the same way as running carbon in a reef tank.

Adding carbon to shipping bags is especially important because with such a small amount of water, it can foul pretty quickly and therefore harm the coral/fish so you want to keep it as clean as possible.
