acclimating

[DJ Oetting]

Hey everyone!!

I just wanted to get some opinions on acclimating fish, corals and inverts to see what everyone elses methods are and how well they work. I have heard so many different things from dripping in the bag, to having a QT tank and putting the stuff straight outta the bag into the QT tank with the same levels as the store water and letting it adjust from there with no dripping. If it's not too much to ask post you're methods for me and let me know how well it works for you, I just want to find the best methods and the most comfotable for my livestock.

        Thanks

i float them for 10 then use a turkey baster and slowly add water untill the water is doubled, then i net them and put them in QT and discard the water in the bag, QT for 2 weeks and don't QT fish with corals

I float for about 30 but start to add water 20ml at a time after 10-15. I will also take out some water and discard it......I'm bad I don't QT usually get the LFS to hold the fish for 2 weeks after I've seen it eat.
