Shipping a XXL Duncan colony
Im taking down my tank and have a 13" Aussi Duncan Colony. Before I post it, is this something thats safe to ship? If so, what would be the best way to box it up?

If you aren’t part of a larger commercial size shipping label organization you can expect very high cost to send a box the size and weight you are talking about as an overnight. In excess of $100 for shipping alone.
Cost aside. You’d be best served to get a few very large 4mil poly bags, stuff them together for a triple bag. Fill with water, seal vial bag staple or heat seal, and place in a 1.5” foam thermal insulated shipping box. If there’s cool weather about, use a 48 hr warmer taped to the inside of the lid with air holes vented directly to the heat pack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Random question, how does your Duncan grow outward? That is spread wide? Mine just grows new heads from the same stalk. Has gone from 2 to 10 in a year and a half.

My other Duncans grew in a tight cluster. Nothing like this. I'll have to post a picture of the back of this. Its perfectly fanned out.
