pfffffftttt.... acclimating corals is non sense. dip them in pest killer and glue them in.Proper acclimation is a key point for success in proper propagating of coral specimens. ;Woot
I agree. Unless you have 1.020 or 1.030 sg, You may need to rethink things.pfffffftttt.... acclimating corals is non sense. dip them in pest killer and glue them in.
the previous views are not necessarily those of R2R management or other reefers but apparently work swell for me.
the pics don't lie.

Lol. I usually just do a 20 minute temperature acclimation and then add them straight to the tank.pfffffftttt.... acclimating corals is non sense. dip them in pest killer and glue them in.

bristle worms i don't worry about.Interested as I don't dip or quarantine corals, how confident are you in the vendors' lack of pests?
Do you find stuff except bristleworm babies after dipping?
bristle worms i don't worry about.
early on i lost between 500$-$1000 in zoas to zoa nudi's.
i was only buying from a local basement seller.
the guy that taught him, another local, dipped everything.
turns out he didn't.
so everything gets dipped, regardless of who i get it from.
no fish qt.... that's something i will never do no matter what.
i've had 3 fish have ich outbreaks, separate incidents. after adding them.
two died. one did not. none of the other 20-30 fish had outbreaks.
more non sense.
drip acclimation is definitely non-sense. stuff in a bag getting stressed releasing toxins in the bag.Lol. I usually just do a 20 minute temperature acclimation and then add them straight to the tank.
(I will sometimes do a little drip acclimation if it’s LPS or SPS - I did this for my hammer and torch)
i new what ewe meant.*sight*
Same here man! I do all three of those things. Good ol’ manual siphon!i test my salinity with one of these.
and i manually top off my evaporation.
heck... i even mouth syphon when i'm doing a water change.
Wait . Are we not supposed to do that?heck... i even mouth syphon when i'm doing a water change.
i did it with kawlkwasser once.Wait . Are we not supposed to do that?
How are we to know the SG without a little taste?
Oi. That sounds rough.i did it with kawlkwasser once.
one of the dumber things i've done while in the hobby.
worse than a hot cheese pizza.Oi. That sounds rough.
My fish like it when I mouth siphon... I mean do water changes...drip acclimation is definitely non-sense. stuff in a bag getting stressed releasing toxins in the bag.
yea.... i want it sitting in there longer.... drip... drip.... drip.
and i get you got "rock stars" here telling you how to do things. while i respect their opinions, i disagree with most.
after all... i test my salinity with one of these.
and i manually top off my evaporation.
