It's all about the reef. :YEAH:
What are the expected temps at both points???
Does water always taste like salt and poo????
80's high and 50+ lows

I think you'd want refrigerated packs (not frozen, just cold). That will maintain bag temperatures while you are in and around 80F. You need to make sure the packs don't touch the bagged livestock, but are in the cooler. Tape the styrofoam to seal it so air doesn't vent out.
This is overnight shipping, correct?
ok then what do i do when it hits 50 degrees at night? i dont want any doa's

well i looked up the forecast for where i live and then the forecast for the destination and sealed the boxes like sugessted and triple bagged the corals and added additional newspaper shreds and sent them out. everything made it alive and well.
