hello everyone,
I am at the point where my tank is set up and I am ready to start adding coral. I have heard and read alot of different ways to acclimate them. I was just wondering what the members here have to say or give me some tips?
Thanx!

The absolute best way to acclimate corals is to use some small airline tubing. Tie it in a knot and stick one end in your tank and the other end in the bag the coral is in. Suck on the end of the tube and start a siphon. Let it drip 1 drip per second into the water the coral came in. You can adjust the speed of the drip by tightening the knot in the tubing. Let it do this for at least 30 minutes. An hour would be better. This is my opinion but i would guess that most people will agree with me.
