Yikes ! I don't have a sump so drip acclimation is not something I can do easily so I simply put the bag into the tank and let the temperatures match and then put about 1/4 cup of my tank water into the bag every 15-20 minutes over about an hour and a half.
Clearly I have underestimated the needs of these creatures.
Thanks for the link to the very thorough article !
