Acclimating strategy

[Cole.mormon]

When you get a new fish they are usually freaked out right?
When I drip acclimate a fish I put
Bipolymers) to replenish slime coat
Seachem prime) to detoxify ammonia ect
Herbtana) for nerve stimulent
Time) every fish gets a standard 2 hour drip
Water chemistry) I make sure to change out all of the water until it matches dt params

Thought yall might fund this helpful

Do I need to drip acclimate long if my salinity matches the LFS?

I use clean bucket method whereas I float bag in tank 20-25 minutes and empty contents in 1 of many buckets I have for saltwater use only
I then add. Up of water from display tank every 15 minutes 8x = 2hrs
I test salinity in bucket and compare with that in display tank and then use same cup to trap and scoop fish and pour off water and release in display
No need to add Prime for me as there is enough new water going into bucket to lower any ammonia

I am going to wait until the fish feeds ok before treating with prazipro. Do you know if seachem prime binds prazipro?
