    I wouldnt add any water to his bag.. after floating him just add him to the tank.. you dont want the levels in the bag to go all out of whack and really hurt him..

    Eh the point of adding water to the bag its to adjust the fish/invert to your water params. to make their transition smooth, not rough.

    how long has he been in the bag... over time ammonia causes the pH to drop. this reduces its toxicity. When you add your pH8.2 water the pH rises and thus the toxicity of the ammonia in the bad rises! just temp acclimate and drop him in
