How long can I float corals???

[dina12]

I was out and about today - stopped at the pet store and bought 8 new corals - oops....
After removing some water from the tank - I am now floating the bags...had to remove some water or would have had a huge mess.
My husband will not be home for a few more hours and I can not get these in the tank....I am to short to reach in. This was a definate impulse buy.
Is it okay for them to float for say 5-6 hours???? If not - I need a ladder fast.

You'll be just fine!
I've forgotten corals in the bag overnight and they've been fine.
Just be sure they are out of the way of the lights so the lights don't melt the bag or anything horrible like that.
Oh, and BTW your husband is a lucky man. All my fiance does is rag on about how the tanks are invading HER dining room.

lol. They spend longer than that in bags when they are shipped...
Turn out your lights tho.

Thank you - just turned the lights off.
I am more dangerous with these tanks then he is.....I even got rid of our big screen TV so I would have another wall for more tanks....

I admire your courage. I'm not sure I could give up my big screen.
