Quick question; I am in NJ and am considering a Planet Aquariums build 120 - 150G. Curious to see what freight costs you all have typically experienced with these tanks as I am comparing the price on Planet's website vs. an LFS quote I received. (This is strictly freight; there is a separate...

Happy New Years Eve guys! I recently shipped some corals to my friend as a Christmas gift using the UniHeat 40 hours pad and a styrofoam box. My friend told me that when he received the box. The water was ice cold and the heat pack was not working at all. Does it happen to you guys too? Is...

I am writing this as both a cautionary reminder during the holidays & because of my love for all things Dragon Ball. I ordered a Christmas Wrasse, we named Bulma, from a local shop here in NC. They were too far to drive so I shipped her to my house. At 5:00am, I received an "update" email...

Warning: This this rant Today's the third time in a row where Fedex has failed to even attempt delivery for an overnight shipment. I've been home waiting the package all three times, and no knock or even a door tag. I'm convinced that anytime I have a Fedex package that requires signature upon...

I had a couple of questions in relevance to a shipping timeline and process of receiving the actual aquarium. - How long or average wait time did you go through to get your aquarium on your doorstep? - Not really familiar with drop shipping but seems its straight forward? - Do they contact me...

Hi, I have been buying coral online for a long time. SPS frag cost anywhere between $5-$700. The way I received them is really poor. Sometime the bag leaks, sometime coral is sitting at the bottom of the bag. It is time for a change. Icecap has a nice transport system but cost over $20. Other...

Hello! For those of you that have shipped pods, how do you go about it? I have millions of these little guys in my pod grow out and I would love to ship them to people. Any advice is appreciated Also, what kind of shipping do you typically do?

Hi, We are in the process of getting into this and are maybe a bit to eager and ambitious! We bought a beautiful acrylic tank that is a round bubble and about 45gallons (photos to come), got it set up and going and then noticed a leak on bottom, so drained it and resealed/glue and start...

I am aware that some shipper ship certain hermit crabs with no water, just damp paper towels. I was wondering if the same would be okay for non-hermit crabs like decorator crabs, xanthid crabs, etc. I figured it would be okay since even blue crabs at fish markets live for a long time without any...

So today I got my order of Zoas from saltcritters.com and all the Zoas look perfect accept for the well know “brown stuff” that was floating on top of the baggies the drags came in. Which I read is relatively common. I decided on purchasing a mystery coral and unfortunately my mystery coral was...

We have been shipping coral for quite some time now. At the same time, I personally and we as a company have been ordering coral online for years. It never ceases to amaze me of all the different methods out there when if comes to shipping coral. True there isn't one "right" way to pack and...

Hi all, I recently made an 8 hour drive transporting a 20g tank, with 100% inhabitants surviving, so I thought I’d make a little case experiment write up in case it can help others. My method used 2 five gallon buckets, inside a styrofoam cooler. Both filled with display tank water, then fish...

So this is my first year with my tank, and heading into my first winter. I've purchased most of my corals/fish online. However, when does it start to become 'unsafe' weather wise to do this. I'm assuming I'm about to the point where I'll have to wait to add more to my tank until Spring :-(. I...

My 120g tank is overflowing with Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemones that keep splitting. I probably have close to 60 at this point, and I really want to thin out the herd so I can change the direction of coral in my tank. I have tried craigslist, and sold probably close to 50 RBTAs over the past 6...

Ok, Red Sea, I can see why you put the top and bottom stand pieces underneath the tank when shipping, because you can move the tank out of the way and then set up the stand. But, on the XXL sizes one person can't move the tank out of the way to get to those pieces to build the stand, the tank is...

Hey guys, just curious if BRS requires a signature when they ship their packages. I ordered a kessil light and may not be home in time to sign for it. Was just wondering if any of you guys know from ordering in the past. Thanks!

Hi, I've been really thinking about getting started on a reef tank, and this will also be my first saltwater aquarium. I have started gathering a lot of info's from youtube videos and research and mostly take the advice from people who seem to have a lot of success. My biggest concern, and also...
