I'm here in central Illinois, with UPS handling some very special fish I've been waiting months for, coming from Rhinelander. Had I realized what the expected temperatures were going to be when I asked to ship today earlier this week, I may have thought twice. Too late now! Prayers to all the FedEx/UPS/USPS employees who may be handling any of our fragile sea life packages this week! I wish everyone the best of luck with any arrivals tomorrow!

I'm expecting 3 shipments tomorrow... I have to work and will be taking off at 9 to hopefully get home before FedEx runs. BUT just incase they arrive before I do, I have built a hot box for the short time they could possibly be outside. It's a large ice chest packed full of hot hands. I added a few to test it out and it works great. I will add a fresh batch of hot hands before I leave in the morning plus a couple extras

Good luck to both of you. I delayed both of my coral shipments until further notice since the extended forecast for my area is single digits as the highs.

UPS was supposed to deliver few packages yesterday ( none reef related thankfully ) , never made it to my house. They will try again today, hopefully your delivery of fish will be on time, good luck.

Yikes. Dude! I didn't know you still posted here! :D

What's coming this morning are the pair of liopropoma basslets we talked about, along with some other fish. LA has been trying to put this pair together for me since October. Swissguards, not candies. But still! :)

I'm thinking your nano might be a little past its full capacity.

Hahaha! Yep. I displaced 5 gallons with those bags. They've been floating now for 10 mins and the tank water has dropped from 77.1 to 76.4. They were chilly, but I saw movement.
