one thing i just want to point here with drip acclimatising, is that its not something that has to be strict or specific, all your after is a constant slow drip rate, nothing more...
I completely agree, I was teasing before about the precision...it does make it easy to use what I do but the knot will give plenty control. It doesnt' have to be exact, just slow.
I have used the knot just fine but I think the acclimation kit is just one of those things that really confirms to others that you really are a fish nerd.
I just tied a basic not and set it at about 1 drip per second and increased it every 30 mins. I took 2 hours on the clowns and plan on doing it tomorrow when I get some more snails and maybe a tiny scooter blenny.
