Dipping fish and corals

[Whatigot]

totally speaking from perceived logic here and not experience, but if you dip second, whats the point acclimating first?
you're just acclimating them to one set of water params, throwing them in another and then back into the first again...

I would dip first, acclimate second.
but I don't dip or acclimate corals, Im just careful and lucky.
haven't lost one yet, nor have I had any run ins with unwanteds.
