The cheato was in the guy's sump. when we put the fish in the buckets, they werent very happy. I put the Cheato in there as I needed some for the tank, and also to give them something to "hide" in. It was neat, before I put that in, they were sucked down to the bottom corner of the buckets. I threw in that little ball and they immediately perked up and hoverd next to it. For this size of fish, it worked out very well. I stuffed the cheat balls in my overflows for now so they get light and can grow. eventually they will be relocated to the sump somewhere. Got a bonus too with teh tiny baby brittle seen with the Naso.
as for acclimation, I had these guys sitting in the sump to get temp aclimated. over the next hour, every 20 mins, I put 2 cups of water in with them to get them used to my water. the naso was perky the entire time, the sohal was still very cautious in the bucket. onc the Naso demonstrated he wanted out, I poured down his water and then put the sohal in that bucket and then carried them inside where they were netted and released into the DT. Hard to put these fishes in a small QT.
