How long should I acclimate this BTA for?

Picked it up from local Petco store. Their water is at 1.032 salinity. My is at 1.025. How long should I take to acclimate a BTA?

Just realize I got two for the price of one. Looks like its splitting

Surprising that your LFS keeps their salinity that high. They tend to keep it lower (1.020-1.022 in my experience). I tend to do short acclimation periods (30-40 mins) as I feel long periods will stress them but that is a big salinity difference. I recommend at least 2 hours and test the water again before adding it to see how close you are

Thanks. Followed your advice and the nem seems to be doing fine.
