Post and Packing
This thread is for the discussion of posting and packaging of the coral swaps should postage be necessary.
The best way I have found is to buy some round food grade containers from a local grocery or convenience store, they cost next to nothing each.
Put the frag in this container along with some filter wool to prevent the coral from banging against the side. The containers aren’t quite water tight so you need to put a bit of PTFE tape around the inside and some sticky tape around the outside of the seal.
Put this inside a fish bag just in case and put the container into a small cardboard box (free from your local store), fill with polystyrene beads and put a 40 hour shipping heat pack at the top. All this packaging can then be used to send the returning frag back, so the owner of the tub always ends up with their packing back.
Please post your own shipping methods and ideas so we can come up with best way.
Alternatively, if you have any questions, ask away and I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.
