Makes me sad that you have lost 2 fish and look like you will lose another. All things considered if you can save 29 of the 32 after the shipping errors I would say that you did a great job!Looks like I might lose a firefish but so far so good. The tangs all look good. The Achilles won't even hide! He's already bold! Lol

Rev, at the risk of hijacking your thread further I want to address something.
There is typically nothing wrong with drip acclimation and I hope people reading this don't get that impression. If I am going to pick up a fish from my LFS, especially if it is an impulse buy and my QT isn't set to the right salinity, I do drip acclimate. Some species of fish and inverts will do best if they are drip acclimated.
If fish are shipped, drip acclimation may still be a great solution. You need to make sure that there are no medicines like copper in the shipping water so you don't get an adverse reaction from adding an ammonia neutralizer like Prime.
So please, for those reading this, we are addressing this specific situation. For most fish and situations what we are recommending is just fine. But then again, so is drip acclimating. In some cases drip acclimating is going to be the only good solution. Understanding the pro's and con's of each method will help you make an informed decision for what is best in your specific situation.
Ok, thanks Rev, I'm done.
Awesome!!Took a peak this morning and all the fish seem to be doing great. Ammonia badges good so far. I'm ready for water changes when needed!
