Description

Drip acclimation is a commonly used method for acclimating a wide range of marine critters to a new environment. The duration and drip rate required for acclimation can vary depending on the species of animal and the difference in water parameters between the old and new environment. Here are some general guidelines for drip acclimation for different marine critters: Fish Drip acclimation for fish usually takes around 30 minutes to an hour. The drip rate should be adjusted so that it is not too fast, as this can stress the fish. During the acclimation process, the water temperature should be monitored closely, as sudden changes in temperature can be harmful to fish. Invertebrates Invertebrates such as shrimp, crabs, and snails should be drip acclimated for at least an hour or longer, depending on the species. The drip rate should be slower than for fish, usually around 1-2 drops per second. Invertebrates are sensitive to changes in water chemistry, so the water parameters should be monitored closely during the acclimation process. Corals Drip acclimation for corals can take several hours, or even up to a day in some cases. The drip rate should be very slow, usually around 1 drop per second or less. Corals are very sensitive to changes in water chemistry, so it is important to monitor the water parameters closely during the acclimation process. Anemones Anemones should be drip acclimated for at least 2-3 hours, or longer if possible. The drip rate should be slow, usually around 1 drop per second or less. Anemones are sensitive to changes in water chemistry and temperature, so these should be monitored closely during the acclimation process.

  • Worked perfect
I got this to acclimate my shrimp. U can adjust the drip and it doesnt require anything else to use it. I was able to drip acclimate my shrimp for 3 hours and I had no issues setting it up as a first time buyer. This os a perfect tool for anyone with aqua life

  • Worked like a charm
This is not my first stint with drip acclimation. I actually made one for my saltwater nano tank, but didn’t want to cross use with my nano freshwater so I bought this one. I recently purchased some shrimp (also purchased via a store on Amazon) and they’re a little more intolerant to water parameter changes than fish. Since I wanted my new shrimp to have the best chance to survive the new environment I utilized this at a super slow drip for over an hour. Happy to report that, thus far, I have not lost any of the new tiny critters and they’re eating/foraging well. Nothing fancy to this set up, but easy to use and does the job. Would recommend, especially at this price. ... show more

  • Hand pump would not work however...
The small hand pump on it is a bit too flimsy, but you can still make it work as long as you are careful to not suck too much that you get tank water in your mouth haha. Got it to work with a little help that way and worked fantastic after initially getting it going.

  • Fantastic kit
This is a great drip acclimation kit which happened to actually be a medical drip line with a twist. Very precise setting for a perfect aquatic critters acclimatation to new waters.

  • easy to use.
This is nice and easy to use. The only problem is cleaning the hose to avoid bacteria growing. I clean it by passing ro water after I am down and use my compressor to pass air though it slowly to dry it.

  • Works Alright; Good for My Shrimp Tank
It's a bit difficult to get a siphon started, since the little manual pump is kind of weak, but once I get it going, it works well until its job is done (or until the water level it's drawing from gets too low for the intake hose to reach 😅). It's been very helpful with acclimating my shrimp to their new tank, and also with slowly adding new water to the aquarium during small water changes. I like that the acclimation tube comes with an adjustment wheel so I can control the drip rate easily. Pretty handy tool! ... show more
