Shipping corals via Sea Freight

JaaenKhan · May 16, 2016

Hey guys I need some advice:

I plan on shipping some coral frags from the United States to Trinidad and Tobago via SEA (Yes sea freight lol). It'll be on the boat for approximately 7 days but if delayed the journey may take up to two weeks! I need to design a small system that can keep the frags alive for the journey until they get here. What hardware do you think I would need? I want to outfit one of the following totes. I'll make a cut out in the cover for a led light and insert a powerhead and frag rack. Think I would be needing anything else?
Unfortunately I have to resort to this kind of shipping because air freight is way too complicated shipping to this country :(

Most important is oxygen and temperature.

If you can get some sort of light in there, photosythesis should help with o2.

Temperature, since its summer may not be a problem getting cold, but rather too hot, no?

the ship is fully air conditioned so temperature will remain at a constant cool level. I am installing a light and a powerhead, think that will be enough?
