Helpful Tip
You've invested valuable time and money researching the habitat
requirements of the fish and corals you wish to house. Naturally, you want to protect this investment by executing a proper
acclimation process once the specimens arrive at your door. The purpose of acclimation is simple: the water that the fish or
corals are packaged in has different temperature, pH, and salinity parameters than your aquarium. Fish, and especially invertebrates
(including corals), are very sensitive to even minor changes in these parameters, so proper acclimation is the key to ensuring their
successful relocation.
