overnight stay

[lotsoftats]

guys my wife has decided to make an overnight trip out of the frag swap since we never go anywhere without the kids.

what will i need to do to insure my frags will survive over night?

i have a heater and a ph I can bring with me to plug up in the hotel but I have no light for them. will they be ok?

also after the swap is there any stores nearby? probably will be broke from the swap but it is always nice to look at other shops you have never been to.

heater and ph would be ok. I'd float the bags in water and heat the surrounding water. :) I don't think there's a need in opening the bags. for an overnight stay. You'd probably end up with chemistry and excess stress issues if you did that. I'd also set and test the heater before you come that way you know where its at.

Aquatic critter and Emerald Bay are probably the closest LFS that you'd want to visit.

My avatar is a GARF Purple Bonsai that I killed because I'm lazy and my PO4 got too high. I deserve a beat down.

Aquatic Critter and Emerald Bay are each about 30 minutes from the community center... It's probably an even haul to either of them.

And they are both GREAT shops. If you can, check them both out! :)
