Acclimation Procedure
• Remove bags/cups from the shipping container.
• Float them unopened in your tank for 15mins.
• Remove livestock from bags/cups and put into a container.*
• Place them into the container, fully covering them with the shipping water.**
• Start a siphon using a small piece of air hose.
• Make sure to put a couple of knots in the hose to regulate the water flow.
• Adjust the flow of water to 5 or 6 drops a second.
• Let the water amount double and then cup out half of the water.
• You’re done once the water level doubles again.***
• You can now place your livestock into your tank.
• Discard all remaining water after you acclimate.
For Corals: You may also want to cut back on your lighting schedule for a day or so.
So your new additions can get adjusted to their new environment.
*The Foam shipping container will work!
**Placing a heater in the bottom of the container would be advised.
***Some livestock require more time to acclimate. If you are unsure please contact us.
