Do You Acclimate Your Lobos?

[Charles4400]

Other than temp acclimate, do you think it's necessary to acclimate your lobos?

I usually just float temp corals and in they go but have read that lobos can be more sensitive to water chemistry changes.

Thoughts?

I do a quick 5-10 minute drip with lobos, just to play it safe.

Acclimate ALL corals and I acclimate for 1.5 hrs.

I've never acclimated any acros other than temp. never acclimated softies either.

Any other experiemces with lobos?

Here's my normal routine for coral introduction:
Float/drip 30-60mins
5-10min CoralRX dip for bad critters
Rinse in clean tank water
5-10min rest in a separate cup of tank water
Add to the tank.

I run a QT system before putting anything into our main tank typically will sit in QT for a few weeks just keeps us safe from pests :)

So has anyone had a problem with short acclimation or no acclimation for lobos then?
