    frags

    i just ordered 5 frags from phishybusiness.com and im wondering if they could survive being in the sump from 10am to around 7pm? i know thats a little extreme, but i have school, then swimming practice after, so i wont be home from 7am-7pm to acclimate them, but my dad would be home in the morning to place them in the sump, then he goes off to work, he might actually be able to aclimate them when he gets home, but i dunno if he would know how to do it.

    It sounds like you need to explain to your dad how to do it.

    It is best to remove the corals and acclimate them as quickly as possible. If you have no other choice but the leave them floating, at least they will be in temperature controlled water. Still best to remove them ASAP, shipping is stressful.

    Just make sure all your levels are in check. Those guys will hog some calcium so make sure to be on top of it.
