I pulled a bunch out of my tanks and shoved it in a small glass bowl I had, intending to move it into another tank. I forgot about it and it's STILL really green and growing like nuts, even though room temp drops down to 60 at night and there's no direct light to speak of. I'm sure that as long as it doesn't freeze, it should be okay. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

I have some in the "pond" right now that's around 55F, not growing rapidly as it hasn't got light on it, but it's not dying either. ^_^ Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link][/font]

This will also keep the weight down. As long as its shipped priority mail (2-3 day) you shouldnt have any problems. This is the method that most professional suppliers use, the only time that it will actually be in any danger of freezing is when its in the recipients mailbox. Bdadawg

Coal eh?, well it'll be less tasty then the tootise rolls I got this year, but might be worth a bit more on the blackmarket . ^_^ Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link][/font]
