The way my wife acclimates her trees; she starts out with a vase that holds about 8 cups of water. Her first week has one cup tank water and 7 cups fresh. Week two she dumps the water and uses 2 cups tank water and 6 fresh. Week three is 3 cups tank water and 5 fresh, and so on. At the end of week 7 she adds them to her mangrove tank. One thing I did for her was cut some foam blocks so they could float just above the miracle mud (with a sand cap) to encourage the roots to get a little longer and more gnarly looking.
