Hey all,
So I purchased an acclimation box which I believe to be too small that was told to get by a LFS that I will no longer be going too. I purchased it to host my 2 clowns with a new anenome for a week or so to get the clowns used to it. The box I bought it only 6x4x4 which is EXTREMELY too small for 2 clowns and an anenome so will be returning immediately. What size acclimation boxes do you use for something like this?
Thanks

6 “ x 4” x 4” for 2 clowns and an anemone? I would not be comfortable with that idea if they were my fish.

Exactly im not comfortable with it either I’m refusing to go through with that. I need to get a much bigger box IMO prob triple the size of that

curious? what are you using the box for? what are you trying to acclimate? ... an acclimation box is used to let fish already in your tank get use to a new fish being introduced... you don't need to acclimate clowns to an anemone.
