How quickly to acclimate

[KUDA]

I just got my h. erectus this morning from nyseahorses. As soon as they came, i put a line in the bag and I am planning on dripping them for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. It that long enough? They are HUGE!!!

I ended up just acclimating them for 30, as according to ocean rider's directions on their website.

Just need to acclimate until temp, pH, and salinity match. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes sometimes two hours, depends on many things.

pledos correct, be sure to test the water and once parameters match you can move them. I know mine took close to 2 hours because of how long they were in the bag.
