So how does dripping 1 drop per second into the bag over 5 hours sound? I'll also have the bag float in water the same temperature as my aquarium?

I had a bad urchin experience in the past so I'd like to make it successful this time.



Thanks!

That's what I would do again! It worked well for me. I floated the bag for 30 min then moved it to a container and started the drip. My tuxedo seems happy with beautiful vibrant reds and blues.

Ok, so I picked up a Tuxedo Urchin today, and drip acclimatized it for 7 hours. One drop per second, and temperature is about ~79 degrees.

The only bad thing is the water params are majorly different.

My wayer is perfect, zeros across the board. But the water he came in had some of everything. Nitrites, Nitrates and Phosphates.

We'll see what happens.
