 Coral acclimation I saw this on another site: Saltwater Fish Superstore - Saltwaterfish.com Great flash, but it says not to drip acclimate corals, just float them for 30 min and release?????

 Re: Coral acclimation I always drip acclimate my corals. They too have to be introduced to the new water.

| Re: Coral acclimation I always have aclimmated my corals also. Matter of fact, I take longer with the corals than I do most fish! |

| Re: Coral acclimation I float the bag(s) for 15 min. Then open the bag, add 1/4 cup tank water, wait 10 min, add another 1/4 c tank water until the bag is half full or better, then put coral into tank. This process should take around an hour.
