Acclimation of corals: Drip Acclimation
Supplies:
A bucket
some fine tubing such as aerator tubing
first place the bucket lower than the tank, put the bag of coral into the bucket and open the bag, release some of the water until the coral is nearly exposed to air. Take the tubing and place it starting at the main tank and ending in the bucket. Tie a loose knot in the airline tubing and start a syphon by sucking on the tubing. Tighten the knot until you get a slow drip about two per second. Let it drip until the bag is full.
