Has anyone ever shipped frags to Puerto Rico. I am wanting to buy some but I am not sure if they will make it with it being about 90 degrees evryday. Someone please help me out....

I received a sun coral frag from Puerto Rico and the reason it didn't go well is because the frag cut through the bag and most of the water drained out. I believe if the frag didn't cut through the shipping bag everything would have been fine. IMO. Watch for sharp edges, add an ice pack and pack well.

yeah in the winter time it get's about 75 or so but that is at night, in the day time it gets around 80 inthe winter. I would love for you to ship stuff to me the biggest problem that I really have is getting frozen food to me. I need mysis, Rod's food and silversides. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out. PM me I am getting ofline and I will be back on around 4 pm tomorrow after I get off work. Once again thanks for all the help.
I also need a clean-up crew, mostly snails to clean my sand bed and eat some brown algae off the sand and rocks.

I think for shipping frozen food, you would need dry ice.
Why not make your own food. can you get fresh shrimp, scallops, any other seafood. fresh garlic and nori. just put it all together in a food processor, freeze in a zip lock bag . wa la. fish food.

alright sounds great. I am trying to find a dealer that is willing to ship here. I am willing to pay for shipping just everyplace that sells livestock and corals can't ship here for some un godly reason. I don't understand why when it is still the US and I am willing to pay all the shipping
PM me later with a dealer that could help me out, also thanks for all the help.
