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

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