I am at the point where I should get an acclimation box for my new fish. I've been considering the Tanklimate Acclimation Box - Nano from BRS but it seems expensive for what is basically just an acrylic box with some holes in it. Are there other options?

I have made multiple orders for frag racks, acclimation box/shroom box, name plates, etc.. from 'Holy Claw' on Facebook. Their pricing has been fantastic, and they will make custom sizes, color combos, etc in most cases at no additional cost. Their communication has always been excellent as well. I highly recommend checking their page out

That sounds good. Hopefully I can find that person on Facebook. I don't use Facebook very much.

I would post a link but I think it is frowned upon to post links out of the forum.. but I'll bump your post to get more options from others as well hopefully here

The Octo Aquatics box looks great but it very expensive. I do like the idea of the cheap critter container.
How do you attach it?
I tied it to something with fishing line.
I also used it after gluing some foam in the lid to make it float

The best and only option that will last, and has an amazing warranty is the OctoAquatics Shu. I have two, I can post some pictures when I get home.
Do I need something that will last? I'm planning to use it 3 times for a few days each for the trickier fish.
