I have been in the hobby for over 3 years and have never shipped corals, that is until yesterday. Reef2reef helped me out a ton when it came to what to use, how to pacl, etc. I know most people start out with cheap corals to sort of do a test drive but I took quite a gamble. I shipped a 350$ piece and it did just fine! Even going all the way up to washington state!! I was just so excited and also relieved that it got there and I did a good job packing it. At first I was skeptical about shipping but now I'm just like let's sell something else Just wanted to share this as I am happy and also wanted to give thanks to the r2r community for the info!
