How to use Drip system to break-in new fish?...show me

[chonhzilla]

just like the title says, "how do I use the drip system to break-in new fish to the aquarium?"... or has a better way to break-in new fish I have never done this before...can someone give me a link or show me?...I've done the search and it gives me a whole bunch of links.

Thanks in advance.

get a bucket, pour the fish your acclimating into the bucket with all the water, connect a air hose from the tank your putting him in, andd siphon water from air hose into the bucket, then change it from a full blown siphon to a drip, you can use this with an air valve or just closing the tank lid on the air tube, like a kink in a garden hose

hope this helps

Yep, inline air valves work great for this and can be adjusted at will.

Pay attention to how long it drips or have a very big bucket!

Aerate the bucket softly while doing this too.
