Mail Order Corals

[Kal]

I am browsing all of the coral websites planning my corals and it occured to me that I don't know what is involved with acclimating a mail order coral. Do you drop acclimate before/after the coral dip?

Tank water + dip > tank water bath > 2nd tank water bath > into tank.

That’s what I do. 10 min each step. Only buy from reputable vendors.

But... I drip acclimate for about 45mins. and hold in the warmth with towels or blankets during the drip.

Gotta have an great vendor!!
