LR transport

[algaeeater]

Hi
When you buy LR from a LFS, do they warp it in wet newspapers, pack it in tank water or what. I am worried about die-off since I have a 35 minute drive in this summer heat.
What do you usually do?
Thanks for your help

They usually just pack them in a box with no water.

Put in a box (hopefully styrofoam) with a lid and with what ever water doesn't drip off on the way in. The rock will be fine on the ride home. Even cured rock will suffer a minimal loss but it will be fine. I'm sure they'll drop wet newspaper on it if you ask them.

I have almost an hours ride home and I have my lfs put the rock in a bag and then add enough water to cover it I then transport it in a styrofoam container so it does not get too hot I have not had any problems with doing it this way.

Sad but true.
