Thanks for the information. I always questioned if that was a known fact that corals were ok to go straight into the tank or if it was an accepted rumor by word of mouth. I am glad I got to read that and I will take that into consideration when buying my corals. Also, I would like to add, sorry if I felt that I was questioning your knowledge on the subject, I was mearly trying to find out where the info was coming from so that I could read it myself and see why the differences between coral and other invert acclimations were so drastic. Thanks again spanko!
