Description

Drip acclimation is a commonly used method for acclimating a wide range of marine critters to a new environment. The duration and drip rate required for acclimation can vary depending on the species of animal and the difference in water parameters between the old and new environment. Here are some general guidelines for drip acclimation for different marine critters: Fish Drip acclimation for fish usually takes around 30 minutes to an hour. The drip rate should be adjusted so that it is not too fast, as this can stress the fish. During the acclimation process, the water temperature should be monitored closely, as sudden changes in temperature can be harmful to fish. Invertebrates Invertebrates such as shrimp, crabs, and snails should be drip acclimated for at least an hour or longer, depending on the species. The drip rate should be slower than for fish, usually around 1-2 drops per second. Invertebrates are sensitive to changes in water chemistry, so the water parameters should be monitored closely during the acclimation process. Corals Drip acclimation for corals can take several hours, or even up to a day in some cases. The drip rate should be very slow, usually around 1 drop per second or less. Corals are very sensitive to changes in water chemistry, so it is important to monitor the water parameters closely during the acclimation process. Anemones Anemones should be drip acclimated for at least 2-3 hours, or longer if possible. The drip rate should be slow, usually around 1 drop per second or less. Anemones are sensitive to changes in water chemistry and temperature, so these should be monitored closely during the acclimation process.

  • Could be better but does the job
Great to acclimate fish and shrimp. I like the adjustable drip and the item is durable. I couldn't get it primed with the bulb and ending up giving a little suck to get it going but the water goes into the bulb first so none goes into your mouth or you could use a plunge syringe. Wish it worked better as that is a main selling point over other items but it does the job and the cost is decent. ... show more

Worked really good and easy to use

  • Rate control difficulties
Works alright, but I have struggled with effectively controlling drip rate despite roller clamp adjustments. Length of tubing is acceptable as I acclimated from my tank water that is 2.5 feet above my work surface.

  • Easy siphoning, great price.
This is a great product. I always hated having to dip my hands into the fish tank and spin my acclimation tubing for ten minutes underwater to start the siphon. Now I can start acclimating my fish in seconds, and I don't even have to touch the water. I do however find it a little difficult to adjust the drip rate since the slide bar keeps moving around when I try to adjust. Overall, a great product. ... show more

  • Worked like a charm
This is not my first stint with drip acclimation. I actually made one for my saltwater nano tank, but didn’t want to cross use with my nano freshwater so I bought this one. I recently purchased some shrimp (also purchased via a store on Amazon) and they’re a little more intolerant to water parameter changes than fish. Since I wanted my new shrimp to have the best chance to survive the new environment I utilized this at a super slow drip for over an hour. Happy to report that, thus far, I have not lost any of the new tiny critters and they’re eating/foraging well. Nothing fancy to this set up, but easy to use and does the job. Would recommend, especially at this price. ... show more

  • Not for every tank build
It was too short and was just not for my tank set up.

  • easy to use.
This is nice and easy to use. The only problem is cleaning the hose to avoid bacteria growing. I clean it by passing ro water after I am down and use my compressor to pass air though it slowly to dry it.
