Getting some chaeto

[c0mf0rt]

I ordered some chaeto on the net from a guy in WA... I'm in OR.... anything I should look for as far as die off before I throw it in my fuge??? Think it will still be ok with a two or three day ship time ?????

I ordered mine from ebay and it took a few days to get to me. it was just in a plastic bag with no water. I put it directly in my fuge and it has worked out great! Good stuff for nitrate comsumption. I put mine in the fuge immediately after the tank cycled and have had 0 nitrates since (it's been 4 months).
