Acclimating Mollys

[MoH]

Hello everyone,
Ive finally gotten around to trying some freshwater Molly’s in my salt water tank. I’m doing a slow drip acclimation. How many hours do you think it should go?

Hey! I just tried this out last week. I did a drip acclimation for 2 hrs, and then put them in. All 5 have been happily living in the reef tank since

I've read it was better just to "toss them in" but I've never done this yet. I hope you have good fortune like @Gigidoll.

Nice I was thinking it will take much longer I’m more then 2 hours in already!

Yeh I thought so too but then I read different things, and I tried my luck! They’re all still doing great and made best friends with my coris wrasse haha they actually follow him around in single file

Thats awesome unfortunately for me a couple of them already didn’t make it. Not sure what I did wrong as I acclimated them to salinity over several hours. One of them is still going strong hopefully he makes it.
