I usually just float my coral shipments, dip, then put them in my aquarium.
Most online retailers require that you follow their specific guidelines for acclimation or they won't honor their "live" guarantee. I have never ordered from them but it doesn't appear that their instructions are on their website. Call them in the morning.
I'm getting a number of different corals from WWC on Wednesday, one of which is my first acro. I haven't been dosing any calcium or alk. I'll definitely drip, but should I run out and get some 2 part etc? Thank you!I actually do the same thing but it got me thinking.....coral (specifically Acros) are so sensitive to ALK swings. Unless you know the ALK level of the water that the coral is coming from, why doesn't that trigger any problems with the new coral (such as RTN or STN)?
I’d wait it’s not like adding 1 acro is going to deplete your alk and calc so fast ..I'm getting a number of different corals from WWC on Wednesday, one of which is my first acro.

Acro, monti, favia, birdsnest and a litho. Wanted shrooms, but they were snatched up too fast.You cant go wrong with drip acclimation. Every since I started doing it I noticed my new corals would open up faster. What kind if corals did you get? If they're softies you can just float them.
I would drip acclimate them. Also make sure to acclimate them to your lights.Acro, monti, favia, birdsnest and a litho. Wanted shrooms, but they were snatched up too fast.
Thanks for all the good advice everyone!I would drip acclimate them. Also make sure to acclimate them to your lights.
