High pH test can't produce a reading below 7.6, so all it indicates in this case is that the pH is below 7.6.That is a bit odd. Anyone have an explanation for that?
That makes sense. Thanks.

Thanks Kat...tis the airline i need , currently flush with buckets..
Its also an excuse for me to go to MA ...needing 'equipment' sounds better!
That's basically how it looks if you do it yourself.. I tie a knot in the airline instead of having a tap on it though, because I'm too lazy to look for the taps and have airline all over the house >.<*ahembucketandairlineahem*visit to MA for drip acclimatization equipment

Maybe I have more money than brains, but I saw this, and am planning on ordering it when I am ready for fish. Maybe it is more elaborate than I need, but for $7 for 3 of these, I think I can splurge. (I figure the 3 pak would be nice, in case I buy more than one species at a time. Since they will be coming from different water, it might not be a bad idea to have a few spares, just in case.)
Do *not* add any shop water to your tank, do *not* dip the net in your tank after you get the fish out of the bucket.Hey Kat, any tips for acclimating fish. Things to be certain TO DO, or NOT TO DO?
Most of my buckets are 10-12 litres just because I can't actually lift anything larger. I do have a 30 litre one for larger fish (which I also use to transport fish sometimes).Do you have a bucket size preference?
I like to be extra careful with new fish.wow, that's the mercedes benz of acclimations! Nice tips for full treatment there, thanks KK! I do most but usually not all of those, so will file away still more details. Like most of us I'm usually doing those acclimation steps when introducing the new fish to an empty Qtank, where they will be watched for a few months and then they will make a less involved move to the community tank.
