Description from the creator

Some fish are too large to acclimate while floating in an aquarium. Other fish are sensitive and require a more delicate process. In these instances, drip application is the best method. Learn more with our video!

Airline tubing and a flow regulator can be used to control the rate at which water goes into the bucket. To move water from the aquarium to the bucket, start a siphon with the airline tubing. Use the flow regulator to adjust the water flow into the bucket. The general rule of thumb is about one drip per second for 30 minutes.

This ensures plenty oxygen is available while the fish is acclimating in the bucket, an air stone may be required. After 30 minutes, the tubing can be removed and put away and the fish can then be netted out of the bucket and added to the aquarium. Do not add the water from the bucket to the aquarium.

Now you’re able to enjoy the new additions to your home aquarium!
