transporting and storing

[Authentic]

I am going to reefapalooza this Sunday. I will not be returning home until Monday night.
If I buy corals what is the best way to keep them for this 24-hour period. I was thinking of bringing a shipping box which I have received corals in from vendors out-of-state.box, Styrofoam peanuts and placing the corals in individual plastic containers. Or would it be better to just bring a small cooler? Any other suggestions or comments would be appreciated. I got a lot of great deals at the end of Macna but in an hour they were in my tank

I'm coming back Sunday night but bringing a 5gal container of mixed saltwater, a 5 gal bucket with a lid and frag rack in the bottom, a battery operated air pump and some ice packs/towels/cooler.

Can't wait!!

Authentic- 24hours should be fine. Use the box you received stuff from, obviously that worked when you had stuff shipped before.

Ive brought back stuff from previous MACNA's in the checked luggage, rarely had an issue.Remember 24 hour shipping of corals happens daily many times over.

Also ask the seller if they can hold the coral until an hour or so before shut down.
