acclimating the fish.
Okay it is finally time to acclimate my previous discus and angels for the new tank. I have a drip method in use right now. I am going to drip them for 1 hour, then plop them in their new home. I am hoping the drip method works and the fish will not look "stunned" when I add them to the tank. I feel so bad when fish enter their new home and look as if they had a stroke. So lets hope this works. By the way, I have a heater and a air stone in that container. So the fish are well taken care of in that 1 hour drip span.

Sorry, first thing I noticed.
Fish are in
Okay here are pictures of the fish in my old tank into their new home. Excuse the angels, they are quite the divas and have to be in every picture. The acclimation actually worked. I put the fish in, no shock, just fish checking out their new home. Right now there are: 6 pigmy cories, 1 very large bristlenose male, 1 female long fined pleco, 2 large angels, 2 checkerboard discus, 6 bolivian rams, 1 red blood parrot. My camera sucks at close ups. My girlfriend will bring her nice camera home so I can use it for close ups. I am still waiting for my huge piece of driftwood to come in. I am also waiting to get paid again for some larger taller plants to go in the back. The tank is kinda stirred up because I added a ton of the old tank water into this tank so it would help with the acclimation. By tomorrow, it should be clear. I have like 500 gph filtering in this tank, it should be clear in a few hours.

Very cool, I am going to drip my fancy fish when they show up, good to see photos to I get the general idea.
