3 hour coral transfer options tonight.

SoCalSURFrider · 12/25/2009, 07:22 PM

So Im transfering a lot of my coral (about 50 pieces) to a location that takes about 3 hours to drive to. Just wondering if I used glade containers with water half full with the lids closed, will the corals survive? Im also using a couple 5 gallon container with water which I used before and worked great. But I liked the glade containers instead if that would be better?? Thanks

Depends on what is being transferred, but as long as it is covered with water you should be fine.

Just make sure that the water level is cover them and try to minimize the temperature swing by putting them in a insulated container, i.e. ice chest or something.

Glade as in the fragrance company? I wouldn't put anything in those containers unless they no longer have any aroma and have been cleaned well.
