Thank You for your business! Please remember we only ship healthy live stock that has been in our facility for no less than 2 weeks. Most corals require 1 week minimum to fully open up after shipping.. If you follow the below guidelines your corals will remain happy and healthy. Please remember that no corals "LIKE" to be shipped and many of the more sensitive ones can take up to 2 weeks to fully expand after the traumas of shipping. The definition of an established saltwater tank for corals is at least 6mo. to a year with 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, PH @ 8.0 to 8.3 and the Ca should be @ 400 to 450ppm .
Acclimation:
• Remove bags from packing immediately.
• Float bags for 15 minutes for the temperature in the bag to equal the temperature in the aquarium.
• Open each bag and secure it to the top of the tank. Add a ½ cup of your aquariums water every 15mins for 1 hour to equalize the pH.
• Discard all of the water from the bags as you place each fish in the tank.
• In many situations, especially with coral frags, it may be best to secure each coral into its proper place with our Coral Glue.
