Where do you get frag bags?

[sgwill122]

I am planning on shipping some frags, but where does one find small frag sized bags? Anybody done this before and have advice to offer?

The LFS is usually willing to part with a few if you ask.

Otherwise, you can order them online at about $20 for 2000, 4"x12" 3ml. baggies

My Advice after receiving some VERY beat up frags, if you want to ship nice ones go get one of those $19.95 tupperware kits for leftovers (about 40 pieces), rubber band the frags so they hang in the water, and tape the tops shut, the frags will remain wet, the bag wont get punctured and leak (no bag), and the guy on the other end will be real happy... I received one order from a company with 6 bags of frags, and they "threw in" some live rock that smashed everything... only one frag out of 20 survived.

Wow, sounds like an extremely rare case. Ive never heard of any company "throwing in some live rock" with an order of frags.
In most cases, baggies, a heat pack and some sort of popcorn is enough to insure healthy frags upon arrival.

It was actually, live sand from a company that has four letters in Idaho.
