Copepods and live phytoplankton

[jdpeters]

A vendor sent my package early i believe, could of swore I selected it to be sent the 20th. I have a box of 2 bottles of live copepods and 2 bottles of live phytoplankton. My wife is home to receive but I would prefer her not to, are they ok to stay in the shipping box an extra 24+ hours?
She’s capable to putting the Phyto in the fridge and dumping the copepods in the tank after the lights are out but my UV is on and it isn’t super obvious on how to turn off, any thoughts? Thanks guys

Hmm they could be fine but do you happen to have space in a sump somewhere to fit a bottle or 2? I doubt 2 but just asking. That way they’re at least at temp but not getting uv’d. I didn’t know the uv would be such an issue. Never ran one

Best of luck
