Acclimating New fishes

[12galedge82]

I have cycled my 12 gal fluval edge tank that contains 14 lbs of live cured rock and 10 lbs of live sand and am ready to introduce some new life. I am thinking about putting in 3/4 inch clown, a real small cardinal, and maybe a six line wrasse. I'm open to any suggestions on other fish to keep in there. I also wanted to put a couple of snails and a candy Shrimp.
Is there an order that I should put these fish in the tank in? More importantly, I have never acclimated sw fish to a tank so I'm wondering how all u pros take care of ur business.

Thanks for the help in advance

look up drip acclimation on youtube there will be videos on how to do it

To be honest, that size of a tank will have a tough time accommodating those fish. I'd look at liveaquaria.com for tank size needs of fish. They also have a great guide on drip acclimation.

Keep in mind that drip acclimation is not always necessary.

By the way.....that's the cleanest tank I've ever seen!!!! How old is that tank?
