I think you'll find OA has a pretty good track record here on canreef

Thanks Marie. I'll remember that.

i drip my corals with airline tubing, when the bag is full i spill half and repeat that about 3 times, same for fish, probably a little too much but i don't know, never lost anything so far.

Interesting thread. I have kept freshwater Cichlid tanks for years and never really worried a lot about the acclimation process with these fish (never lost any when introducing them) but when I started my first Saltwater tank I spent a lot more time acclimating these fish but now I basically float the bag for about 15 minutes to equalize the temperatuer and then spend about 30 minutes gradually nmixing the bag that the fish came in with tank water. So far I havent lost any fish during the acclimation process.
