    Morning Reefers,
    I saw a article this morning that has me wondering how it will affect Reefkeeping. The article states no more liquids can be shipped on airplanes! Anyone else confirm or deny this article? We might be in big trouble here!!Here is link to article: ContraCostaTimes.com | 09/21/2006 | How do you bring a fish on a plane without water?
    I am researching FAA site right now to see if I can find "offical" rules....
    Thanks,
    Critifer

    No Water!!!

    I just purchased some fish from Drs Foster and Smith online and nothing was said when I called in to verify my order. I would assume its not a problem with cargo.

    I do not believe it applies to checked luggage, nor cargo. It's pertaining to carry on as you would be in positive control of the liquids at any time.

    I agree justphish. The article states "in carry-on luggage" i doubt cargo is affected

    I too saw that water limitation was for carry on only. When I looked at the FAA website it said that all air cargo just had to be inspected by "authorized" inspectors, but I was just wondering if the new stimpulation would affect us. Thanks for the feedback!
