Hi all. I was just wondering what your method was for acclimating corals. I have always done a temp. and slowly add water acclimation method. Is that necessary?
Thank you!
Thank you!
stevedpepper said:No, there is no need to acclimate corals. Don't drip, don't float. Just gently place them in the tank where you want them. I have added 60+ corals in my tank by the above method and never have had a problem. None of my clients float or drip, as there is absolutely no need to.
I think it all comes down to what type of coral youre adding but I would keep doing what you're doing. But one thing for sure I dip all my corals cause I don't to put any pest into my system

CoralRX is a typical dip
So, just dip them quickly or let them sit? And then just add them to the tank afterwards? I found a bristleworm on my last coral, so this might be something I'd like to do in the future.
Here is a video on it, I found it pretty helpful and funny!
