After you temp acclimate them and put it in a bucket to start to drip acclimate and by the time your done drip acclimating the temp is probably 3 degrees lower than tank water. Is that ok then to drop them in? thanks

After temp acclimation i usually float the bag in the sump and run a drip from the main tank so temp remains constant while drip acclimation takes place.

The thing is I don't have a sump. I might just keep the house warm during acclimation. This will be for peppermint shrimps.

Overkill, shrimps can hack it, float the bag for 20 minutes, boom dump em in.

I did the same with my peppermint. I kept reading about them being sensitive and all, but they made it just fine.

Three degrees is nothing IMO. These fish/corals/invertebrates were desinged to weather such things.

I'm just going to temp acclimate and drop them since it's suggested to be fine.
