Rotary sent me this:
Essentially all you do is the following:
Go to LFS and grab one of their styrofoam lined boxes that they received THEIR stuff in and then individually bag all the corals with 2/3 water, 1/3 air without blowing into the bags, no pure oxygen necessary, and also don't make the bags really tight either or they'll pop while on the plane. Then put the bags in the box and put packing peanuts in between all the bags and on the bottom and tops of the bags, then take a gel coolpack and wrap it in newspaper and put that on top of the peanuts and put the styrofoam lid on and pull the styrofoam out of the cardboard box and tape the lid on then put it back in the box. tape box shut, put packing label on, ship overnight.

I also mentioned since its cooling off and all that coolpacks may not be necessary. In the middle of winter, a heatpack may actually be necessary. I've shipped lots of stuff before and haven't had a loss yet, I guess I'm lucky.

so i picked up FABLE 2 around 2:00pm then ate out with my GF then went to a LFS for their frag sale wasnt that good of a selection
only SPS frags were $5 everything else over priced
I forgot to charge my digital camera
so i have pics from my phone not soo good (i gotta find a way to transfer it from my phone to the computer)
i got 6 frags all SPS nothing rare but nice pieces overall. i also picked up some more fish food and the hydor flo nozzle

i got home around 4:00pm acclimated the corals and put them in around 5:00pm
me and my GF took a nap and woke up at 7:00pm
then i got my haircut ate dinner with my folks to a buffet
and just got done doing HW

Get rid of the frag plugs that are on the bottom left. Also, get a new bulb. Its too yellow for my taste.
