puffer acclimation question

[llama]

I am thinking of adding a hawaiian blue puffer to my 55g setup. I would like to follow the drip method to acclimate him, but then how doI add him to the tank afterwards. I heard you shouldnt remove them from water (in case they puff with air). I dont want to add any of the water that it was shipped in. What is the best method for this?

Whats wrong with them puffing with air?
If that is a problem... just toss the dude in quickly after he is acclimated!

When I had a porcupine puffer what I did was, I took a large cup or something big enough for the puffer to fit in. Scoped him up inside it and put him in the aquarium. this way you might get a little water into the tank but not that much.
