I have been acclimating my corals the same way for years in my reef aquarium! However many reef fanatics acclimate new corals a little bit differently and World Wide Corals gives us a run down on how to acclimate corals quick and easy in your reef tank. Acclimating corals the WWC way will definitely save time, but what do you think?
In this video I talk about how i have always acclimated corals and the way World Wide Corals Recommends.

I do the drip acclimation with the coral in a small plastic bag floating in sump and coral dip added to the bag sometime in between. After 10- 15 mins take the bag out use a baster or pipette to flush out any pest and do a quick 30 second flush with fresh water and put in the tank

@ts6377 Месяц назад

I always dripped, but WWC knows more about corals than I ever will so I'm going to follow their advice.

@StubbyAcro Год назад

Chris Meckley from ACI Aquaculture doesn’t even do temperature acclimation. He just plops his corals immediately to his system. So did Jake Adams from Reef Builders.

@claudiamelfi3882 Год назад

i guess if i was receiving 25 cases of corals i would do the same, but a few frags i think thats a whole other ball game. better safe than sorry !!!

@StubbyAcro Год назад

@@claudiamelfi3882 No, he found that dipping new corals actually increase the mortality rate. Check Reefbum podcast. The man is a genius.

@kevivjack2408 Год назад

Not sure, i hv never acclimated in last few yrs, all good, i only follow , coral dip 30 min and ensure i only add at the night, never in day light, seems working for me❤

@karennation3580 4 месяца назад

This is new news! I just bought some fish and they said the same thing about their corals! I have always floted them in sump and slowly added some water that way they. I wasnt dipping them because of fear but inspecing but now I am back to dipping! Defietly never saw a need for a slow drip acclimation!

@taterfab8845 Год назад

well, now i know. Thanks for the great tutuorial / advice!

You're welcome thank you so much for checking out the video! Glad it was helpful.

Test the packaging water… How does it compare to yours? If it’s relatively close in PH & DKH, there isn’t a need for a long acclimation. If the parameters are far apart, it would be best to have a separate tank/bowl/bucket that could be a halfway point for the coral over a day or two… assuming you have a spare heater & powerhead. The corals can deal with low light for a few days… temp, flow, stability… not so much. That said, if you can quarantine, do so! If alkalinity is over 1 dkh different, and you don’t acclimate somehow… you could kill the coral. Try to never raise the alkalinity on a coral more than 1 dkh per day. Having a cheap heater, a tiny powerhead, and a bucket are invaluable. You could also do a water change with higher alk salt to raise the tank alk closer to the shipping water, if your tank has lower alk. Attack the difference from both angles.

@Rambl3On 6 месяцев назад

I used to drip acclimate but I’d put a heating pad underneath the bucket to keep the temperature consistent. My tank is too full to add anything to anymore haha

@TheCoralReefTalk 6 месяцев назад

Nice. I like that, the heating pad would definitely help keep the temperature stable during the transition. A Full tank is a happy tank! What type of corals does your tank consist of?

@patterdalezipsuzilil 11 месяцев назад

Never dripped in my life 50...50. But I allways use revive just temp float bag for 20 min

@liamackermann5851 Месяц назад

Not saying I disagree, but after 24 hours in a bag does 30 mins to dip/drip make a difference?

@chrispearl1473 7 месяцев назад

Did you forget to link the video in post? I see this a lot. Pointing to a corner with no pop up. Drives me a little crazy. But anyhow, I’ll look for the video.

@RogueAquariums Год назад

Unless they come from a very trusted source I wouldn’t put them in my display. I agree about not drip acclimating them but definitely temp. Acclimation is important. 👍

@TheCoralReefTalk Год назад

Yes absolutely thanks for checking out the video!

@smokiebandit Год назад

Always Drip and Dip I've always purchased from world wide corals trust in the drip and dip method. Even the best in the industry have pest

@TheCoralReefTalk Год назад

Yes very true!

@soldierboy_4349 Год назад

So temp acclimate, dip, then put them in the tank?

@TheCoralReefTalk Год назад

Yes, you can temp acclimate, inspect and dip.

@paultansey664 6 месяцев назад

Have you seen the state of your tank and your giving advice wow I’ve been doing this for 35 years with a nice tank just throw your corals in the toilet they will have more chances

@paulfoxgrover7719 Год назад

Very risky advice for the fish and coral in your aquarium. I have learned the hard way to QT everything!

@TheCoralReefTalk Год назад

QT is an important step as well thanks so much for watching.

@MinusTwoTonsils Год назад

There are way better places to get corals from. I wouldn't trust Vic, or anyone else from there. I've seen him give terrible advice. It is all marketing and a big social media presence. I'm good on anything from them.

@TheCoralReefTalk Год назад

Yeah there are a lot of awesome coral vendors out there. I like TRSC aquatics, living reef Orlando, aqua sd and more just to name a few. I like many of my LFS as well.

@@TheCoralReefTalk Just got a shipment from LRO! 😆 way better imo

@@MinusTwoTonsils that's an awesome Hammer for sure! Sweet favia love the colors. yes and their packaging is top notch! Great Corals enjoy em!

@claudiamelfi3882 Год назад

@TheCoralReefTalk Год назад

Oh Wow! Yes dipping is a good preventative measure to take for sure.
