acclimating time?

[Doug]

I usally spend an hour or two, depending on what species & where they came from. If from someone with similar conditions and not to far away, I dont spend to long.

One thing I usually do, is remove them from the bags and place them in larger tubs, clipped on to the edge of the tank or sump. Easier to work with and if coming off a long trip, gets them out of the oxygen deprived bag.
