Loved the acclimation video, but I do have a question that I keep forgetting to ask: when the acclimation period is done over hours--in the winter, when room temps are much lower than optimal--if you use the 5 gallon bucket (for larger or schools of fish) how do you keep the temperature close to what it should be to keep the fish safe/comfortable? Normally I acclimate in specimen containers that will sit in water (in the 5G bucket)in which the temp is controlled--but when I use the bucket without the containers, the starting water level is too low for a heater and takes quite a while before it reaches enough volume to do so. Angelminx Interesting. I haven't had that problem, just because it's always been warm enough. You could do the drip right into the shipping bag, which sits in the aquarium. Skip the bucket. Other than that, maybe just make sure there is enough water to sit the heater at the bottom of the bucket.

Generally with the incoming water from the display aquarium, along with a room that is not more than 10 degrees cooler, this has not been a issue If this is an issue, a simple solution is the Hydor Under Gravel Heaters placed safely inside a bucket with shallow water Resource: www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Aquarium_heater.html#undergravelCarl

Will the drip work with the bag sitting directly in the tank? I always assumed that the container the fish were being acclimated in had to be below the destination tank's surface level.

Some of the links in this newsletter are broken... Thanks for letting us know I took a look at Devon's HTML work and could only find that some titles appeared to be links, but were not, however he had the picture as a link. I changed this in few locations where this may not be clear. Could you tell me any other locations? Thanks; Carl
