    Good evening everyone :)

    Im looking to start setting up some caulerpa growth in my nano, mainly because Orangina's feeding is creating phosphate probs.

    When i usually acclimate livetock like orangina i usually take about 2 and a half hours to do so.
    Usually adding 1ml of water per min for the first hour then 2ml per minute for the remaining time.

    My question is do i need to do this routine for mail order Caulerpa "frags"?
    Obviously i will need to get the temp to equalize but should i worry about salinity, ph, etc etc?

    Thanks all :)

    For those who are curious i am going to try and take some pics of Orangina soon, she is doing so well, Polpy extention is about 300% more than when i got her 4 weeks ago.

    night night :)

    No need to acclimate.
