I used the drip method last time. Go to Saltwaterfish.com and watch the acclimation video(should be a button at the top or left side)...I did that but not as long and in a one gallon pitcher.

Me too. I have always acclimate everything with drip method at home. OR with my tank at work where I dont have as much time or room I put fish or whatever im acclimating in a 5G bucket behind my desk and add a small dixie cup full of water every 10 minutes for 40-60 minutes.
