Aquarium Drip Acclimation Kit – For Fish, Invertebrates & Corals
Ensure a safe and stress-free introduction of new livestock to your aquarium with the Aquarium Drip Acclimation Kit — a simple yet essential tool for acclimating fish, invertebrates, and corals to new water conditions. Designed for both freshwater and marine aquariums, this easy-to-use siphon system allows you to precisely control the drip rate, ensuring a smooth transition for your aquatic pets.
Gentle, Controlled Acclimation Process
Sudden changes in temperature, salinity, or water chemistry can shock new arrivals and cause serious stress. The drip acclimation method gradually equalizes these differences by slowly introducing aquarium water into the transport bag or bucket over time. This minimizes osmotic and pH shock, helping your new fish, shrimp, or coral adapt safely to your tank environment.
The Aquarium Drip Acclimation Kit makes this process effortless. Simply start a siphon from your aquarium to your acclimation container, adjust the flow rate, and let the water drip in at a steady pace. Within 30–90 minutes, your livestock will be fully adjusted and ready for introduction.

-
Reusable Design: Easy to clean and store for future use — a one-time purchase that lasts for years.
Why Drip Acclimation Matters
When fish or corals are moved from one environment to another, they experience sudden changes in temperature, salinity, pH, and dissolved gases. These shifts can cause stress, reduce immunity, and even lead to death if not managed correctly. The drip acclimation method slowly adjusts these parameters, giving the animal’s system time to adapt.
This gradual process is particularly critical for:
-
Marine fish such as tangs, wrasses, gobies, and clownfish.
-
Invertebrates like shrimp, crabs, snails, and starfish, which are highly sensitive to salinity changes.
-
Corals and anemones, which react poorly to rapid fluctuations in temperature or water chemistry.
Using the Aquarium Drip Acclimation Kit ensures that each new addition to your tank experiences a smooth and gentle transition — reducing stress and improving long-term survival rates.
How to Use
-
Place your new livestock (still in its bag or transferred to a clean bucket) near your aquarium.
-
Attach one end of the siphon tube to your aquarium and the other to the container.
-
Start the siphon and adjust the flow using the built-in control valve or drip regulator.
-
Allow water to drip at 1–2 drops per second for fish or 1 drop per second for invertebrates and corals.
-
Once the volume of water has doubled or tripled, your livestock is ready for introduction.
Ideal For
-
Reef keepers introducing new corals or invertebrates
-
Freshwater aquarists adding delicate species
-
Marine fish acclimation to prevent osmotic shock
-
Quarantine tanks and new livestock arrivals
