out of the Hospital


Finally my surviving fish get out of the hospital tank in one week.
wow its been a while and im tired of my tank looing empty.
my question is
Hospital tank at 1.010
display at 1.025
what is the best way to acclimate?
I could start adding salt water to my hospital.
Or just slowly drip acclimate

Telly what size Q tank? I would make up an appropriate amount of new water for the main tank and do a 15% water change on the Q tank dailey replacing Q tank water with old tank water and replacing main tank with new water. At the end of a week you will have water in Q that is for all intents and purposes identical to the main tank, making transfer out of Q a lot easier.

Just raise the salinity of the hospital tank over the next few days and then when the time comes acclimate as normal for the display.
