I got a couple guys on reef central holding frag packs for me. I don't want them to ship tell the temp is in a acceptable range. These are some realy high end sps and although they would replace any losses i don't want to risk the coral. So what is the minimal temp for acceptable risk?
Thanks

It all depends on the type of box and heat packs the seller is using to pack them in, I have shipped corals when it was below zero here and they arrived down south fine. If they are truly that high end I would wait till spring unless the seller is confident in his packing abilities and heat packs. That said, I have had SPS survive after being in water in the lower 60's but took a very long time to recover. |

I'm thinking i'll wait tell it is at least 60 degrees. Spring is only a few weeks away! |

I agree with Jeremy!  I buy and ship year round and I have never had any problems. Common sense would tell them to use heatpacks so temperature really isn't an issue. |

And if the seller is not confident I wouldn't buy from him/her again  |
