Ordering Online?

Im thnking about ordering maybe a nano starter pack of corals or something like that online. They usually ship over night ,question is, I dont get home from work until 4:30. Do you think this would be a problem. Someone will be home to recieve the package ,but not put them in the tank. Probably depends some on what type of coral I order too.Right?

Biggest thing this time of year is temps. If you can get them overnight and have the box opened when they get there they should be fine till you can get them acclimated.

Course if they come from florida you would be fine anyway. Would be warm enough.

Why don't you have it shipped to where you work. I do it all of the time.

You don't want any packages sitting at your door for a long time. Try picking it up at the warehouse.
