The second video I'm brave enough to star in :)

Great video! One thing I have never liked about the drip method is the temperature. My house is in the high 60's, so when critters arrive they are either warmish from the shipping containers or the lfs. They drop in temp while dripping as that long processes isn't enough to keep the water warm, then I have to acclimate them again to 80 degrees. Warm/cold/hot in a small bit of time which seems to defeat the purpose of careful acclimation. Just personally I have found long drips more harmful than not unless you control temp with a bucket with a heater matching the tank. Can float secondary container in the heated bucket.

Love the videos, keep up the great work!

Keep them videos coming girl lol . I used to do the same with new fish but I find all that time in a little container stresses them out alot more. Now i just bring up the salinity and temp close to mine and chuck them in, usually from a distance, I'm working on my jump shot. Just kidding
