sorry about that i completely forgot to do the pictures. I have another bunch going out on monday. I will try to get pictures then. For now here is a step by step for what I do for Zoas
1. Get flat rate Priority box fo your liking
2. Take 1" styrofoam and cut so that it fits in the box on all side top and bottom included.
3. Preparing the frags
A) I take a bowl of water from the tank
B) Take plain paper towel and soak in tank water
C) Put frag in soaked but not dripping paper towel and wrap it around it. Repeat this so that there is two layers of paper towel
D) Place in bag and tie shut with some air in the bag. Labeling the bags helps out for you and the person recieving the frags.
4. Get the heat pack ready I use 60hr uniheat packs. They take a while to get warm so shake them a bit and let them sit.
5. Place bags in the box and place newspaper between the bags and whats going to be the lid.
6. tape the heat pack to the under side of the top piece of stryofoam
7. Tape the box shut and put a label on it and thats all there is to it.
Hope that will help
