Question on traveling with corals
 
Next Saturday I'm going to Reef Palooza and returning on Sunday. My question is what accommodations do I need to make to keep the corals alive overnight and through the 8 hour drive back home?

No input?

Ive kept corals in "fish store bags" 1/3 full of water 2/3 air in a cooler for close to two days with no losses on several occasions (because I was stupid enough to move a reef from maryland to boston and then from boston to north carolina-- talk about a miserable tank break down/move/setup). Just make sure the coolers are around 70-75 degrees and you will be fine.

Thanks.

I think corals being shipped from west Pacific are in bags for close to 3 days, so you should be good if you follow the above advice.

Just keep temp stable and most corals are fine for 2 days easily...
