Fish acclimating

[ina1032]

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I sure thought it was a wonderful flash demo on how to acclimate new fish to your aquarium. Please, if anyone has anything to add or revise, all comments are encouraged. I'm all about learning new things.

Not bad. But i completely disagree on the anemones. They need to be dripped. And i don't know that i would let that water run full like that for half an hour you would have no water left in the sump

I just put the bags in my sump and let them acclimitize to the temp and then dump a 1/4cup water in every 15min and do that for an hour and remove some if the bag gets to full. I then after an hour use my hand and remove them to the tank.

Done...
BUt anemones i feel need to be dripped as do most invertabrates.

But thats just the way i do things

Totally agree with hanson. I also like the stiff rigid U tube with airline valves for the drip, makes it so much easier than having to tie a rock on with a rubber band, "How bad would that suck if it came off and you had a gallon of SW on the floor"?
