When I do add fish, one thing im confused about with the drip acclimation is, After you drip into the bucket do you then pour the water from the bucket back into the tank?

then drip acclimation will be pointless.

Well it really wouldnt. By drip acclimating your getting your own tank water to slowly accumulate in the bucket and slowly allow the fish to get used to your tank water. So the responses about not knowing if the "bag" water is as good as yours are very valid, however if you add the water from the bucket to the tank that does not make drip acclimation pointless. It just endangers your own tank with the water from the LFS. Drip acclimation is still valid.
