I know they are online but does anyone know if any generic store would have the plastic bags used to put coral and fish in. Like maybe ace hardware, home depot or something haha?

for corals and frags I goto GFS and get assorted sized deli cups. I like the 4oz size for frags of Z/P on a plug.

my vote goes for ULINE. GREAT customer service, ships to my house the next day.

Use thick bags, especially if you're bagging sharp acros.

Kens Fish is where I've purchased bags from before. Decent pricing, good selection and pretty quick shipping. I'll more than likely buy from them again next time I need bags. For plastic cups, I've just picked stuff at the dollar store - usually get 4 or 5 cups for a buck depending on the size.

I get specimen cups from Smart and Final, I haven't looked for bags, but I bet they have them... among 1000's of other obscure restaurant/kitchen items useful for a fish/reef tank! :wink:
