Do I need to acclimate Chaeto?

My nitrates are really high in my 90 gallon. I have been trying to get them right since I got the tank(bought the tank from someone).
I have some cheato in my biocube and i'm gunna toss some of that in there for now, do i need to do anything special or can i just take it out of the cube and put it right in?
Thanks,
Steve

Just throw it in. No acclimation necessary.

But if it's nitrate reduction you seek, you may want to try the Remote Deep Sand Bed trick.

Read what Anthony says about it here:

Yep, drop it in and you'll be fine. A lot of folks put it in the tank before it's even cycled.
