I would go with coolers.....the more expensive ones are better, but the cheap styrofoam ones would probably work.....this assuming that they wont take the ride in the back of a pick-up....

Sounds like you need to ship lots of water. I agree with the cooler idea. Use something water-tight and don't forget heat packs.

hey Trevor i got a few livestock cooler boxes with plastic liner you can have. maybe theyd hold a smaller container of water with your SPS colony. Also saw Princess auto had heat packs cheep.

Have lots of styro fish boxes, and heat packs. gonna try small white garbage bags. would put them loose in the coolers with lots of water as suggested, but dont think the heat packs would handle the water well. will be packing them into my minivan in the morning. btw...some fish are so much easier to catch when they are sleeping. took me 3 min to net 2 clowns and a tailspot blenny. tang, chromis and gobies are gonna be another matter.
