Where does everyone get there shipping materials? What size of bags do you get for frags? I am looking to get a bunch of shipping supplies. I guess I am mainly looking to get the bags for shipping frags. Oh do any of you put a solution in to the bags so that the coral doesnt stress as much? Dustin

Shipping materials seem to be foam layers that you'd probally get either in a shipping supply store or at a craft store. As for the bags I'd imagine going to a restraunt supply store might work well. (not 100% on those, havent looked for hte bags) I bought some corals online and it seems they just put the water in, frags in, and then use oxygen to fill up the bag. (as in from a oxygen tank not just the air in the room.)
Hope that helps.

See if the fish store will let you have a few. Vex bags can be pricey,. Like 35$ per 1000, Another cost that gets over looked from time to time... Zip locks work better, get the double zippers. F Y I The big styro containers are A shipping cost item as well . They range from 3- 10$ Or try an outlet store . Hook up with your favorite store and see if they will sell you some?????

Ok thank, I work at a hospital and have tons of friends at medical clinics and they can get the boxes on demand. So thats awsome. I will have to try a few thing. I think 1000 bags would last me a very long time. THanks
