Whats the proper set up for drip acclimation? Other than a hose ran into the fish bag from the tank how do you get it to only drop and not flow? Ive heard its the best method for introducing new fish.
Thanks! helps alot!It all depends on how much water you start with. In the end, you want to have about 95% or more new water and 5% +/- water the fish came in. Also, the closer to your tank's parameters the fish water is, the quicker you can acclimate them.
Also, you don;t need to blast the air in the bucket. Depending on how many fish you are acclimating at one time, a small stream of bubbles should be enough. If you notice the fish breathing heavily after 5 minutes or so, then up the air amount.
Hope this helps
