acclimation help

[footballdude2k3]

hey guys,

so i am home and about to start acclimating the corals, my question is, how should i do this? i wanted to do drip, but it seems that will be harder than with other things because the bags are really small, i feel that i would have to have a reallllly slow drip going for this to be beneficial, but with 7 corals it would take a long time to do this properly....what is the best way to handle this?

Probably done already, but after temp acclimating all the corals place them all in a larger tub or bucket with the water they came with, and drip into that.

the problem with that is there is less than a half cup of water with each, so the corals would be out of the water...

You can place the water and corals in a reefsafe small container, then place that into a larger bucket and drip into the smaller one.

As long as your parameters are within reason, I would just plop them right in. Corals are a lot more durable than they get credit for IMO. I can't remember the last time I acclimated one.

Set bags in the DT for 20min to reach your tank temp.take one gallon of tank water put in a bucket add 4 capfulls coral rx with a powerhead put in corals wait 10min rince corals with tank water put in tank..

I have never acclimated my corals. If your parameters are within the normal range and obviously the LFS parameters are right then why acclimate?
