Give new aquarium livestock a controlled transition into their new environment with the Simplicity Drip Acclimation Kit. Designed to make drip acclimation easier and more consistent, this reusable kit provides controlled water flow without relying on improvised airline knots or difficult-to-adjust tubing. Ideal for marine fish, corals, invertebrates and other livestock when drip acclimation is appropriate, the kit is compact, simple to use and a handy tool to keep with your aquarium supplies. Why Use a Drip Acclimation Kit? Aquarium livestock may arrive in water with different salinity, pH and other water conditions than your aquarium. When drip acclimation is appropriate for the animal being introduced, gradually mixing aquarium water with the acclimation water allows conditions to change in a more controlled manner before transfer. Acclimation requirements vary by species and shipping conditions. Always follow the appropriate procedure for the livestock being introduced. Product Features Precision Flow ControlAdjust the drip rate for greater control over the acclimation process. Easy PrimingThe integrated priming pump helps start water flow without having to manually siphon the tubing. 5 Feet of Silicone TubingProvides plenty of reach between your aquarium and acclimation container. Convenient Aquarium HookHelps keep the intake positioned securely at the aquarium during use. Reusable DesignRinse and store the kit after use so it's ready for your next livestock arrival. Great for New Livestock Arrivals A useful addition to any aquarist's livestock supplies, particularly for hobbyists regularly introducing new: Marine fishCoralsShrimp and crabsSnails and other invertebratesAnemones and other marine livestock Because acclimation needs differ between animals, drip acclimation should not automatically be used for every livestock shipment. Follow species-specific acclimation instructions and avoid unnecessarily prolonged acclimation of shipped animals. How It Works Secure the intake at the aquarium and place the outlet tubing into an appropriate acclimation container. Use the priming pump to begin water flow, then adjust the valve to achieve the desired drip rate. Aquarium water can then be gradually introduced according to the acclimation procedure appropriate for the animal. Never introduce shipping or acclimation water into your display aquarium. Transfer the livestock separately and discard the remaining water after acclimation.
