    UPS just delivered four acans and some zoas to me. They felt ice cold, and sure enough, their water was 60 degrees.

    They're floating in the tank now.

    Think they'll make it?

    The acans should be fine. I'm not as confident on the zoas, but I would guess they'll make it too.

    I got some stuff earlier this week and it felt like ice water but everything made it no problem including the zoas

    Thanks. They're on the sandbed now. Looks like everybody's going to be just fine!
