how does one acclimate sharks after shipping? im more talking about young bamboo's and cats under 15".

perhaps something even my wife could do as long as i have things all set up for her? sh'e a smart cookie...
 
i have no experience with sharks but i figure you can just do the drip acclimation like any other fish.
 
Drip all the way...but if the water come's in real "*****" I think it's better off to place it straight inyo a QT..with lights off. I was told this when I use to have a ray.
 
That's exactly what I do.


Acclimate if time / transport water conditions aren't pure crap. Match temp, salinity and pH. Take longer if it's a big change.
If the water it's shipped in is failing and the animal is in obvious stress, move it right over to the new system.
