Safe and cheap way to post Zoa

[Coral Passion]

Well I may have just invented a new and improved way to send Zoa frags in a letter and reduce any pressure damage.

Step 1.

Purchase 1 1/4 ridged PVC pipe and cut into 20mm sections.

Step 2.

Drill a hole in the centre of 20mm section that will hold onto the frag plug stem tightly. Do not make the hole too big or the plug will move about. The bit I used has the perfect size that keeps the frag plug tightly in place.

Step 3.

Cover the frag plug in wet tissue using the water from your tank and then place in a small sandwich bag and tie with a tight knot.

Step 4.
Place in envelope and post. The PVC pipe will stop and pressure and the position of the plug will also reduce pressure damage.

Hope you all enjoy the new way to post.

Regards
Alex

Very cool idea! But do you think this is cheaper than using those small plastic cups with a hole cut in the bottom? You can get 100 of these cups for less than $7.

I bought a 3m PVC pipe for about $2. So that can make about 150 of these.

Also those plastic cups are easily crushed and Zoa could get pressure damage. I could stand on these and the Zoa will not be crushed.
