I've started taking acclimation and dipping more seriously now that I've begun my move into SPS. I'm good with the basics of drip acclimation, but I've found that my temp drops in the bucket more than I'd like. That makes sense because and hour of dripping is plenty time for water too cool down towards room temp. Maybe the answer is "put a heater in the bucket stupid". I don't know if the water volume of even a larger shipment is enough to support a heater. What do you guys do? I guess ideally you would float the drip container in the sump or something but I have a 29cube AIO. Maybe one of those tiny gold fish bowl heaters?
In regards to dipping what I've been doing is doing the full acclimation, then dipping in a separate bucket of 100% tank water, empty out drip bucket and replace with tank water, then rinse corals in tank water bucket and pop them in. Does that sound about right?
