DIY Fish Acclimation Box

[SCH14]

I’m trying to find or create an acclimating box for larger tangs. Each tang will be 4-8 inches and added in groups of 2/3 for my 310g tank.
I haven’t found one online large enough for tangs to be in for a few days.
Would love to see some pictures of what you guys have created

Something plastic from HomeSense with slats in it that you could hang over the side of the tank?

Search for "small plastic crate with lid"... I found quite a few options, depending on whether you want to find something locally or order online.

Here’s what I setup today. Just moved my massive Diamond Goby, two juvenile engineer gobies, and one 2.5” clown tang into my 360g (they just finished copper, metro, prazi quarantine) very happy with it!!!

It’s a simple 10 gallon tank I got on sale at I think pet smart or somewhere years ago for like $10 or $20. I made a lid with egg crate and some aquarium mesh I found on Amazon (can post link if anyone requests). I put it up on some specimen cup stands just so I don’t bury and trap any of my sand dwelling critters. I’m so stoked on this!

The rock and Zoa rock on top are just to make sure the lid doesn’t move.

I’ve made them out of the light diffuser panels from Home Depo using zip ties. Not very pretty but it did work.
