Victoria Blue World Aquarium WYSIWYG review

Something else to consider is that the heat packs need a supply of oxygen for the chemical reaction to take place and create said heat. I the box is air tight the oxygen will get used up heat producing reaction will stop.

Coming from a (not really) competitor.... the packing methods they used are top notch, with regards to the heat pack placement, this is industry standard, in such a small space placement isnt critical, if you were to place it under the bags, you would have over heating for the first few hours which would be worse for the shipment. Having a shipment a little colder isnt a huge deal with coral (not with fish). I like seeing the thick boxes and the heat packs, this is what you want from a supplier. Seeing as how the shipments made it, and are flourishing is the key. This is the end game for any hobbyist, a healthy thriving coral!

Cheers,

Steve

Hmm interesting, maybe suppliers should start drilling some air holes in their boxes
The amount of O2 needed is minuscule at best, boxes should be sealed air tight, allowing air in would be quite foolish and counterproductive.

This is true, I'm also good at blowing smoke up certain places
