drip acclimation time

[crustytheclown]

i just dripped my new fish for 2 hours and the salinity still doesnt match my tank. Should i drip longer or go ahead and release them?

Huh, if they seem to be adjusted/adjusting well I would think your fine to add them.

 

[crustytheclown]

they seem to be doing good, but i know its more stressful raising salinty than lowering.

Depends, is your tank salinity higher or lower? Fish can go down fairly quickly. Fast up is where they can't handle it.

Re: drip acclimation time

You may be dripping too slow, although there's many different opinions, I listen to the 30min fish, 1 hour invert (about the time for the water quantity to double). There's a thread on RC about it, http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1939508.
