Hi what acclimate methods do you all like. The drip method is it better than floating bag method, what size qt should I have. What's needed for it thanks
 
I like the drip I have a small tube and tie it in a knot the tighter the knot the less flow its a way better way IMO
 
Jamroz37 thanks for comment I think ill go that method. How lo.g airline hose do I need planning on a five gallon bucket, when I buy fish put him in bucket with water that's in bag how long for drip method one hour.
 
Just enough to go from the top of tank into bucket and not sure in size but its like air hose tubing
 
Drip acclimation is also my favorite method. After 30 to 45 minutes take out some water (and repeat again if you want). If you can find a styrofoam box, get it b/c it will keep the temperature more steady than a plastic bucket.
