I haven't had much success acclimating inverts lately. I lost a star, 5peppermint shrimp, even two tiny skunk cleaner shrimp.
I float the bag, and set the oven timer. Every 10-15 minutes for an hour or two I squirt in some tank water with a turkey baster. Then I dump. This used to work for me.
I have a shelf FULL of books. I know I'm not supposed to dump in the bag water. I know I'm supposed to quarrantine, etc.
I don't have the time to do it by the book.
I know there has got to be some ways ideas to make this easier.
How do you do it?
Exactly how do you get the water to drip slowly and the temperature to be the same? And NOT get bag water mixed in tank?
Should I buy some kind of acclimation contraption? I'll forgoe cheap if I can remain lazy.
