thats a bit of a drive sam and im worried that having the frags there all day and then the drive home they might be too stressed and not make it....

im still considering it though...

2 years ago at reef-a-palooza I had a couple of women by frags from me and they got them home w/ no problem. I cut the frags and placed them in styrafoam containers at about 9:00 am, the event started at 11 am, they left at 3 pm, and I'm not sure what time they got back to Phoenix but I imagine you could probably ride a bike back to simi valley in about the same time. They said that the cups only lost one degree temp wise and all the corals looked great and were thriving soon after being placed in the water.

R-A-P will be a great chance to get some nice sps, lps, & softie frags, but hey, there is always next year!

thanks gcarrol....

let me take a look and see if i can make it i have plans in the evening but i dont know if id make it back in time....

so it sounds like the frags are pretty hardy and can survive from what im hearing
