Like the title, what are you using for acclimation boxes? I see some on Amazon but the largest is on average a 12”x6”x6”.
Is this a good size for bigger fish like 4-5”. I have a copperband in qt right now but I want to introduce it to the tank in an acclimation box I think.

I went with a reefing art 16x6x8 box. It's a little more expensive than some but I'm happy with it. It has dividers so you can have up to 4 chambers if needed for small fish but with the dividers removed is plenty large enough to acclimate a CBB the fish I actually bought the box for.
It's a few dollars cheaper at the manufacturers website where I purchased mine.

Amazon product ASIN B09XHC6JC8

I have a few acclimation boxes but my go-to is the one from Octo Aquatics. The thickness and quality are noticeably better.

Are the dividers able to remove ?
 
I got that same box along with those two weak magnets …
I use it but its sorta flimsy and I had to upgrade the magnets

I ended up buying that one. It works just fine. Yes the dividers are removable. I’ve never used them actually
Nice looks like the best bang for the buck I’ll get that too, seen one a little bigger for 50$ But idk if which I should get lol
