Guest Willy Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Tomorrow s the big day. I'm posting this link for the acclimation proces that reef cleaners recommends. http://www.reefcleaners.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&Itemid=67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Not many have that recommendation for acclimation but I remember reading that before, makes a lot of sense really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willy Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Definitely different than what most are used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer82 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I've never heard that before but it does make sense for those animals. Surprising that's the same for shrimp though as asked down further on the page. I guess its probably because I have never ordered online before and the longest I've ever had something in a bag is a couple hrs so it was a non issue w dripping. I did a 90min drip with an rbta the other night and its looking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer82 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Btw I was out all day and never had a chance to mess with the order so I missed out on this one. It wasn't going to be much anyway as I was just getting things for my 5gal since I decided to buy a 90RR on Tuesday I was holding off for a bigger future purchase.

Scalare102079 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Even without dripping tank water, the minute you open a bag that has shipped overnight you release CO2 out of the bag. This CO2 has dropped the pH of the bag water safely below neutral. CO2 and water combine for carbonic acid. this is an ally for our bagged friends. As the pH drops, toxic ammonia converts to nontoxic ammonium. But converts back to ammonia when the bag is opened and the CO2 releases into the atmosphere. That is why he is explaining the methods in his guide. I imagine most of the animals shipped with just be with moist paper, which makes for an easy temperature acclimation. I, personally, still drip acclimate any fully submersed aquatic life, but I always at least check bag temp and salinity before I start. I am a little leary that most of these species he is sending are intertidal... will have to watch for any potential escapees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willy Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Nerites and cerith are always climbing out of the bins at PA. My house keeper the friendly mantis will keep them in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer82 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I find ceriths on the rim of the tank constantly. They'll hang out for hours sometimes before retreating back to the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Most of them are shipped in a bag with a moist cloth and a little bit of water so Andy nailed that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatO Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Every once in awhile, I hear my dog chewing something.... I look over, it's a snail. Lol. Take it out, pop it back in the tank, 10 min later he's cruising back up the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willy Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Two packaged were shipped, but as of right now only one has arrived. I have an email into John at reefcleaners hopefully this will get resolved quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
