Just wanted to start a thread about acclimating new fish/corals/critters to your tank. I'll explain my process below.

What is your acclimation method?

Very nice thread i was thinking of writing one up my self here is what i do.
1) Turn off MH 2) float bags for 10 mins, unopened 3) Open bags let float for 5 min to release any heat from bag (use cloths pen to hold in place) 4) Use turkey baster get 1 full tube and squirt in bag wait 3min 5) use turkery baster again but 2 full tubes wait 5 min 6) Repeat step 5 5 times 7) use fish net to grab fish and then place in tank. ** again this is all from my experience***** I have found the net is less harmful due to the oils or ADULT BEVERAGE THAT SPILLED ON HANDS to be safer and the fish is relaxed as much as possible. *release the fish in a area where there is less traffic so he doesn't get beat-up to quickly) |
Thanks for sharing Peterock. I always rinse my hands really, really well with tap water before sticking them in the tank and wash thoroughly with soap afterwards.
