getting a new hammer

[rich nyc]

If you were getting a new hammer coral that is shipped to you at 1030 in the morning but work until 630pm would u run home and dump the bag and let it sit on your aquarium water or just wait and take it home after work. I am getting it delivered to work. tia. Rich

Assuming your parameters are within reason I would just go home and put the coral straight into the tank. Maybe float the bag for 5 minutes or so beforehand though.

I had no trouble with mine. I just threw it in.

I only temperature acclimatise my corals anyway

 

[rich nyc]

wow thanks. I will probably temp acclimate do a quick dip then throw in my hammer like
paul :):):)

I routinely get coral shipped to the holding facility and Ill pick it up after work ~6pm.
I still acclimate and dip when I get home at 6:30pm. Ive never had any issues :)

Thanks for all the advise. It is still not extended but my Christmas present seems to be doing fine.

 

[becks]

How's he doing now?

 

[rich nyc]

still looking the same :(

What's the flow like, my hammers are in really low flow

 

[rich nyc]

maybe the flow is too high. I have it under the jebao so it doesnt get blasted. My other hammers seem to like the position. this is my first hammer
