Default How do you acclimate coral?

Curious to see what successful reefers are doing to acclimate their coral? Do you follow any different procedures for LPS/SPS? Shipped vs. picked up? Initial placement? Change lighting?

I have read the preventative dip coral thread sticky, but more interested in whether you temp acclimate, drip acclimate, etc.

Right now my process is (regardless of shipped and picked up - same):

1. float temp acclimate in bag
2. dip in 1-1.5L made up of 1/2 bag water and 1/2 tank water with CoralRx
3. slam dunk into it's new home!

So far I have not lost a coral this way, but I'm wondering if I can ease the introduction into the tank for faster growth/coloring
