I've always dipped with the same water. Also I float my corals and then add them right to my tank. There is NH3 and NH4, NH3 is harmless and NH4 is deadly. When something gets shipped the O2 dropped and so does the PH. NH3 occurs in low PH water. When you start aclimating it the pH rises turning all NH3 into NH4 and it can be enough to harm and even kill some coral. This is worse when shipping fish. NH4 is ammonia. Once I open my bag I allways put it right into the tank after dipping it
