Can anyone tell me what method you used to acclimate your shrimp? I found this article in Planet Invert.

Acclimating Shrimp

I have never had a problem floating the bags. I don't do this for long, just long enough to get the temp up if they were shipped to me. Then I open the bag up and put them in a bucket/container with their water and slowly add my tank water until I have about doubled the amount of water, this takes about an hour. msjinkzd told me about using a "drip line" but I was never able to figure that out, guess I need to learn to think outside the box. You can PM her she is very helpful!
I am getting them from msjinkzd and I know she will provide info but I was just curious if anyone ever had any specific problems or maybe a better way of acclimating shrimp.
I would also find out what she was raising them at, (Ph and temp wise) and then go from there. When I purchase shrimp from a known breeder (always my first choice). I use there perferred method. There's a reason they have them for sale!
