Zoanthid Freshwater Dip?

This is a copy from my post in Joel's Coral Morphologic Group buy thread. I just received my zoanthids from Joel and ...

...I was thinking of doing a freshwater dip before [putting them] in my tank. I have a pretty good idea of how to do it, but there was a link I always used to look up to refresh my mind before hand. Now the search function at RC is hosed. Anybody know the details of how to do that? I was thinking of using RO water, equalizing the temperature, and add alkalinity until the pH is about 8.0. Then soak for 5 minutes. Or am I babying the zoanthids too much to do it that way?
 
Personally, I would never FW dip for more than 3 mins.
Some Palys become very stressed with FW dips (People Eaters do this) and I wouldn't FW dip them for more than 1 min.
The rest of what you said sounded good.
