looks like the next couple of days are going to be blistering hot....

how do ya'll include an ice pack in shipping corals? do you include it taped to the inside of the top like you would a heat pack? just curious, b/c ive only used an ice pack with shipping a thermos, and i put it on the outside of thermos.
 
You need to use old news paper and wrap it up to hold the moisture that sweets off.I also tape it to the in side of the lid,or use packing peanuts or news paper to support it off the bags that the corals are in.If not the will get the bags to cold.
 
I have tapped cardboard pieces on either side and it won't come in contact with the corals. works great for me!
