The SHU™ - Acclimation Box

[Highgrade]

Are all the Magnets $14.99 or is there different sizes? I'd like to pick some up to mount corals to the back glass of a few tanks. I currently do this with the Vertex cleaner magnets sealed in acrylic as well. They're just not that powerful. Once the coral grows out a bit they wont hold as well. They do work well for encrusting corals -Monti's,Pavaona,Cyphastrea.

is the medium size one a good enough size for introducing a 2" blue hippo tang from QT into the display?

 

[cromag27]

I would say yes!

Keep us posted on how it works on your 3/4 inch thick glass. I too have 3/4 glass and would be interested to hear how it does for you.

Just as a follow-up, the SHU was delivered and finally got a few minutes to put it in the tank to test it out (I’m running fallow right now because of a velvet outbreak so no fish in it yet ). In any case, happy to report the unit did stick securely with the 3 magnets as suggested and the build quality seems top notch, can’t wait to put it into actual use! One question I have for you @cromag08 is how do you release a fish into the tank? I know the lid opens on top but it seems like it might be a little tough to pull open (which I suppose is the point to make sure fish don’t escape). Didn’t know if there was a suggested method that may be easier!

Thanks again!

Hold the ends with your finger tips then gently push up on the lid extensions with your thumbs.

Got the new tang in "the shu" today after a nice long QT.

How is your tang doing, Jason?

How is your tang doing, Jason?

It’s doing great it spent about 26ish hours in the Shu. Then I opened the lid and lowered it to where it could swim out. It came out about an hour or so later and been fine ever since!

I really want “The Schillinger”, but I can just imagine the question the first time I put it to use: "That's new, how much was it?". "Don't worry honey, it was on sale."

 

[cromag27]

Lie. Lol, just kidding.
