![]() I have never acclimated an SPS coral. I soak them in a container containing whatever water was in the bag and enough water out of the display to equal a gallon and them add Coral RX at a little over the recomended dose and let soak for 15 minutes or so. I have forgotten corals for almost as long as a half hour and they have survived.
I then remove from the dip, rinse with tank water, and put them some where that the slime gets carried away by the current, and then put them in the place I have selectrd and keep an eye on them for the next week or so. Works for me. I figure that what ever my tank levels are at, they have to be better than the dip. Keith. |

![]() All corals get a dip or two depending what they are, then they are placed into the tank. No acclimation. I've lost the odd frag here n there, but they were usually lookin like crap to begin with.

![]() I dip and acclimate to temp and salinity. Surprising sometimes to see the bad guys that fall off during a dip.
