Hmmm, I have no idea if this would work but maybe set the bucket on the register and turn your house furnace. Its worth a shot. Or maybe set the bucket on a heating pad... :thinking:

most people drip aclimate with a bag in the sump to keep the water the same temp

Maybe take a bucket of your tank water, then take everything to the bathroom, put the bucket with fish in the tub and fill the tub up half way with warm water. Then do the drip, just set the bucket of tank water on the lip of the tub and away you go. BTW I'm just throwing things out there that could work. Ive never actually tried any of them

The water in the buckets is 76.8 my tank its 80.. i dont know how much of a big deal that is..
