Try hot glue gun next time
Very nice

Instead of the tape where the frag plug goes into the “cup”

OurCoralReef · 11/02/2017, 03:21 PM

Oh no problem at all! I'm always trying to learn better ways to ship! I really appreciate the response!

When i sold coral this is what i used

Its the vending machine capsules you drill a hole the size of a plug in the cap and drill another hole in the “bubble” when closed it becomes indestructible (well really strong)
I put water in a bag the frag in the capsule (close it in the water)
take out all the air
seal the bag and
into another bigger bag (all the frags of that order)
into styrofoam
and into a box
Off to shipping

That's awesome! I would love to design a dispenser at a LFS that dispensed these when you put money in it. Maybe not just a quarter for a frag but replicating the joy we had as kids getting these but with coral frags instead in it would be epic!

A hose in each capsule would kinda look alien
Might close more sales though

Business idea! They probably would have laughed at the idea of a car vending machine 20 years ago and now look at it

He uses his coral mule for those trips. Especially since I visit Aggieland all the time these days.

Bpb · 11/03/2017, 12:40 PM

That’s good information to have. I’ve been wanting to hit ty up for some frags but I literally never go to Austin anymore.
