Ultimately its up to OP to decide which method works better. In terms of acclimating method, I do the same as you. Temperature acclimate them then drop the newbies into the QT. I’ve come to the conclusion that a few hours of drip acclimating won’t be that much different than putting the coral immediately into the tank.I’ve had acros stink up the bag from 15 mins from my house, last thing I’d do is dip it for an hour for the 8dkh in the bag to match the 9 in my tank..like I said if you want to drip acclimate do it but it’s not necessary, lots of people float dip and drop without repercussions. As far as I’m concerned it’s a personal preference, there’s no evidence to show either or is better that I’ve come across..I’d love to see documented proof that shows what’s better if it’s out there. Just trying to help this guy out with his frags.
