I live in Greenville, Texas and lost everything in my tank due to the storm. My lights still work but I can no longer program them and not putting out enough light for coral. My heater is fried. I lost thousands in fish and coral! No power for 3 1/2 days and no water for a week. No propane to heat or cook with and firewood ran out in 2 days. The warmest I could get the house was 43 degrees with fireplace! This is a hobby that my military son (19 years old) and I (mom) do together while he is away/deployed. It gives us a nice positive and neutral ground for some fun and neat discussions while he is gone. I hated to tell him we lost everything due to the storm. I told him I would do my best to get it started back up. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Another 20 zoa frags on the list for pickup Sat... It will be a busy busy Sat driving and picking up donations, acclimating and labeling.

Does anyone have a creative way to ship 50 frags? Separate boxes and several smaller shipments?

Tons of hermits and tronchus snails as well!

Special thanks to the following:
Cody, Gregg and @footgal for pointing me toward MARSH leadership
Trey Brown of TNT Aquariums for being the first to respond and for driving 1+ hour to meet! Check out his page below
Chris Wooten of RVA Corals for the massive Zoa and candy cane donation. His frag tank is beautiful and you can check out his page here. Dodged the donor photo but I will give him a pass
Billy Northcutt also gave several frags just because he is an awesome hobbyist.
@ReeferByProxy for putting up with the chaos of me packaging for a swap and putting up with me as I pick up and acclimate everything.

I don't think any of then are on R2R but wanted to say thank you guys. Looking to ship early next week as my schedule was packed.
