For about 3 months now I have used the "Drip" acclimation and love it. I made my own drip acclimator by using an air regulator valve for airline tubing. I start the siphon into my acclimation bucket and adjust the flow according to how long I need to acclimate.... 1 drip per second is the equivelant to a 2hr acclimation with a cup of water every 15 minutes. I drip faster for a 1hr and slower for 3hr (haven't had any 3hr acclimations yet). It cost me maybe $4.00 and works perfectly every time.

Allen's home-made formula...(-NO3=WC%) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.
