All inverts are acclimated to 1.025 sq @ 78 F.

We pack and ship bulk inverts dry - ie: snails and hermits.

Do not drip acclimate dry packed inverts.

Most people run their invertebrate systems at 1.025 sq / 78 F.  If your system is already within that range, you just need to turn the lights off on your aquarium, float for temp, give them a quick rinse in aquarium water, dispose of the rinse water, and immediately release.

If for some reason you are not running your system 1.025 sq / 78 F, before you receive your shipment have a container (1-2 gal) ready with "old" salt water (this can be out of your current system) that is adjusted to 1.025 sq @ 78  F and kept well aerated. That is a measure of specific gravity and the measurement is temperature dependent.

Float the bags in this water for approx 15-20 min to adjust for temperature, then just open the bags, rinse in a small amount of the old salt water in the container, dispose of the rinse water, and release the inverts into the container.

Proceed with any other acclimation after that if your system is of a different specific gravity and temperature.

Thank You.
