How far is it to your nearest LFS (Salty of course)

[Jfish]

Nearest fish store for me is two hour drive. Haven't really bought much there though except maybe a test kit or some food. All fish and corals arrive after a 6-8 hour bus ride with no ill effects winter or summer. The dealers know how to package their stuff and I have never lost anything due to transport.

In the rare case I do have to transport, livestock is double bagged and surrounded by newspaper in styro cooler. Cooler moves into a warm or cool vehicle and is never exposed to elements more than needed.
