::::Hi,
::::How would I go about transporting fish, inverts, and corals on an airplane for up to 20 hrs.?
::::

::: Hi right back to you :)
::: It could only work if you have a cycle aquarium waiting on the other end, if not? You best off just sell them back to the aquarium store. And if their is a cycled aquarium waiting at the other end, you bag them and have air in the bags, you must make sure the bags are tide up tight, not that the oxygen escapes. Happy landing ><{{{{"> Buddy

::I do have a cycles tank and all,
::but most pet stores say that the fish can only live in those bags for an hour or 2.
::Maybee if i just use a larger bag so there is more oxygen/?
::
:
: Right now, you do have a cycle tank. But once you take it down, you no longer do. What i was saying is, to transport your marine animals, you would need a well setup tank at the other end. I would have thought you understood that meaning.
: And as for 20 hours, that would be fine if you have no delays. In many aquarium stores, their shipments of corals and marine fishes goes well into the second day. Just don`t have them set in the direct sunlight. And im not talking you put into one bag, over crouding it. Now once again, i say this over again, if you have a cycled aquarium on the other end of your trip, you be able to do this, your cycled tank i know you have, but it will be taking down. I`ll not go over this again if you not understand my view. ><{{{{"> Buddy
Thankz for the advice,
Sry, I must not be understanding this,
At home I have a cycled aquarium, I am going to hawaii for a week, then returning home where my tank is.
I will not be dissasembleing the tank prior to my departure, therefore it will be there, in the same condition when I arrive back home.
