Acclimating LPS

[rhino]

I am expecting some LPS corals today. How long do you guys acclimate them before placing them in the tank. Do you acclimate them longer or shorter than fish?

you need to just acclimate to temperature, float the bag for about 1/2 hour , you'll be fine

Does everyone else just temperature aclimate and then drop it in?

temperature acclimate should be done b-4 you drip acc.

All corals need is temperature acclimation, if they are on a big rock and you want what ever hitchiker that are on the rock with them to live then drip acclimate (pods etcetera) other than that you dont need to drip acclimate corals, unless you want to.

If you temperature acclimate first then drip for an hour or two, how do you maintain the new temp?
