[quote="bulletsworld"]Wondering how long do you acclimate your new fish for? Not inverts, JUST FISH.... As inverts it depends on invert.


What procedure do you do?

I used to put them in a small rubbermaid container about 2 gallons and then drip gravity style to the fish in the container and every 20 mins adding about 30 ml of tank to the container depending on the drip ann the amount of water in the bag. now i have been doing the basement sump trcik with the bad in the water and adding 2-3 ml of water every 10 mins depending on the salinity in the bag and tank . then once the water is equal i put the fish in the container or a bag and up stairs to the tank with the lights off and add some more water to the bag . and wait 30 sec and slowly add the bag to the tank and open it up for the fish to swim out of the bag. It always worked for me.




I would tell the folks of Edmonton the name of the guy so there wont be any mix ups on their purchase. the guy sounds like a real winner.
