1- Float your container or bag in the aquarium for at least 20 minutes to allow the coral to equalize to the temperature of the tank.

2. *Removal from Container/Bag:*

   - Open the container/bag.

   - Carefully grip the rear of the frag plug with your dominant index finger and thumb.

   - Pull out your frag and foam float.

   - Use your thumb to gently push the base of the frag plug upwards through the base of the foam float.

   - If your coral came in a bag, simply remove it.

3. *Water Transfer:*

   - Pour the water from your frag container into a clean container designated for aquarium use.

   - Over the span of 10 minutes, slowly add water from your aquarium into your container until you have doubled the water volume.

4. *Coral Dip:*

   - At this point, it is recommended to use a Coral Dip of your choice.

   - Follow the directions from the Coral Dip Manufacturer.

5. *Placement in Tank:*

   - Place your coral into an area of your tank with lower light intensity for at least the first few days.

6 .*Mounting:*

   - Use Coral Glue or Coral Epoxy to securely mount your Frag to your rockwork or place it onto your frag rack.

 Please Do not drip acclimate fish shipped directly from Coral Kingdom Orlando farms. This will VOID the guarantee*

1. Open box and inspect animals for immediate health.

2. Turn off lights on aquarium. 

3. Float bags in aquarium for 10-15 minutes making sure to avoid clogging overflows or filtration. 

4. Open bags and using a net introduce your new aquatic life to your  tank. Be sure to avoid high flow areas and for smaller specimens make  sure they are not predated on before they find the rockwork. 

5. Always discard the shipping water and never add shipping bag water to your aquarium.

6. Keep lighting off for at least an additional 20-30 minutes, preferably overnight. 

7. Other acclimation methods could be harmful for our live animals. 

New additions may be shy for the first day or two but should accept  pellet and frozen foods once adjusted to their surroundings. Please be  sure to monitor their health and behaviors for the first week.

8. An acrylic acclimation box is a great tool for introducing new fish or invert to your existing fish in safety. It also allows you to keep a close eye on your new pet to ensure they're eating well and to allow them to recuperate after travel.
