Acclimating a RBTA

[rdnelson]

May be getting a RBTA and wanted to know how to acclimate it. I drip acclimate fish and I dip all corals but this doesn't really fit either. All help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Drip acclimate as you would fish.... Atleast that's what I do.

I picked up mine last week and dripped it for a hour. Just make sure your water stays warm bc mine got a little cold. Luckily it didnt bother the nem.

I dripped mine for about 1-1/2 hours. Totally agree on the water cooling. I tend to keep mine near the sump where it's a little warmer. Before I added her to the aquarium, I turned off the return pump and PHs so she didn't get swept around the tank.

:thumbs: for asking ahead of time.

At Grouper therapy, I am the first to admit I am clueless (well maybe getting a clue or two). Not afraid to ask. I appreciate the input guys. Unfortunately, it may be a bit longer before I get one. :-( I knew the offer I made was a low ball offer but with Christmas just past, and Anniversary next week and a daughter turning 21 in a couple weeks my budget is about blown. LOL

But the good news is, now I know when the time comes. Then I got to figure out how and what to feed the thing. LOL

Again, I appreciate the help.

Drip for 30 minutes to an hour....

Don't forget that w/ RBTAs it's customary (and considered ill-manored not) to cut it in half and share it with a good friend.

I hope you enjoy your new addition, Good Friend!

Well good friend!!! Since I can't buy one I guess you will have to buy it and then split it with me. Wow! What a guy. And we haven't even met yet. LOL

Edit: Actually, I just had a fantastic idea. My anniversary is on the 5th. Of course that means roses. So, if I send her a RBTA that is not only roses but ones that wont die right? Some times I am so brilliant it scares me. (by the way, my funeral will be on the 8th, after all, three days of morning should be sufficient right?)
