    I know that I have to acclimate new stock so they will survive. What do you use to do this?

    I temperature acclimate by floating. Then I pour the water and the bag into a plastic iced tea jug. I add a small amount of Seachem Prime to the jug. I test the SG of the tank and then I test the SG of the water in the jug. I start a drip using a Pisces Pro Acclimator and drip until the SG of the jug is equal to the tank. Then I wet my hand and put the fish into the tank.
