Aclimatising New Corals

[stefday]

I am thinking of buying a few sps colony corals from Fishman frags online.

How long can you leave them in the box before aclimatising them to the tank? My wife would be able to take delivery but I don`t get home till 5.30 so wouldn`t be able to do anything till then.

Thanks.

As long as the box is left unopened they should be fine...I' ve had stock couriered over here several times and this involves an overnight journey and often left un opened til around 8 pm....Just place them in the tank with the lights off and let them acclimatise to your lighting the next day.
