Acclimating cold corals

Roll221 · 02/18/2006, 09:19 PM

I did a frag trade which was supposed to be delivered this morning; however they got stuck in Memphis. The last FedEx rep I spoke to said I should be able to pick them up in Tucson tomorrow morning. I am guessing they are going to be really really cold so any advice anyone could give me on the best way to acclimate them to give them the best chance would be appreciated. I have acclimate hundreds of coral that arrived normally so I am only looking for anything if any I should do different for these when I get them.

do everything the same but much slower. hopfully they will come around. if the cold got 'em they may not make it either way. just go very slow and keep the tank water quality high!
