I have to move an 8 inch Flowerhorn next week to a new bigger tank about a half hour from where I am now. What would be the easiest and safest way to do this?
 
Net him out, throw him in a 5 gallon bucket, drip acclimate, dump in new tank.
 
net, bucket/cooler, battery powered aerator, acclimate, fish in water
 
I've been reading up on drip acclimating I've never done it before. I've read of 2 different methods, one with tubing the other by using a cup of water every 5 mins. Has anyone ever used the cup method?
