Acclimation

[DOO-E]

I have read that you should drip acclimate fish and inverts in different buckets. What if you buy both the fish and the invert from the same tank could you drip them together?

I don't see why not, just that inverts should be dripped a lot longer than fish. I acclimate fish around 1 hour and inverts 3+ hours and of course never put any of the other tank water in your tank.

you most likely heard that because some fish stores use copper or other meds in fish tanks and copper + inverts=bad

I think i read it on saltwaterfish.com. Ya i never put tank water from the petstore into my tank big no no. I figure just drip the inverts with the fish then when the fish can go in the tank just scoop them out or they can stay in with the verts not really a big deal right. I have also read on saltwaterfish that bubble anemones can be acclimated to the tem of the tank and dumped right in is this true?
