    I am planned on going to IA City on the 10th and had a couple quick questions.

    How much are raffle tickets?

    If you buy corals, what is the best way to transport them? My sister in law lives in Riverside and I was trying to plan the trip around seeing her, but I wanted to make sure if I buy something I get it home alive.

    I'm not 100% sure, but raffle tickets are usually $1 with deals for buying more........

    The best way to transport your coral home is to bring a cooler and have a few of hand warmers to place inside, usually wrapped in something like newspaper. That should be adequate for a few hours, depending on where your coral are. Of course if its really warm like today, you may want ice packs, lol /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif They're lots of fun, make sure to listen to one or both of the speakers too!

    I take a small cooler or if ever ordered any live goods online one of those boxes work good also. I believe corals transport a lot better then fish. Corals can last at least 24 hours in a bag it care is taken in keeping it from getting to hot or to cold. Just tell person that you buy something from that item may be in bag for a day and they can package accordingly.
