Acclimate eel from 1.020 to 1.025, how long?

I think you would be ok with a drip for a few hours, some stores in the city keep theres at 1.020 and i keep mine at 1.025 and i don't even acclimate never lost a thing

Depending on the size of the eel it might be worse leaving it in the acclimation water than getting it into the tank. 1.020 to 1.025 is not really a big change. Fish tolerate FW baths which is far greater change than what you are doing. Doing a really fast drip is probably best for it.

Tony I usually take about 3 hours as long as its slow

For me, depends on the eel. Gymnothorax tile is a freshwater born eel that swims into the ocean for adulthood....acclimatization is very quick with these guys.
