- Turn off the lights: Switch off both your aquarium and room lights before opening the box.
- Float the bags: Open the box, remove the individual bags from the liner, and float them in your aquarium for 15-20 minutes. This helps the water in the bags gradually adjust to your tank’s temperature.
- Gradual water mixing: After floating, transfer the contents of the bags into a sterile bucket or container. Add small amounts of your aquarium water every 3-4 minutes, continuing until the water in the container has doubled.
- Dispose and add more water: Once the water level in the container has doubled, dispose of half of it and continue adding your tank water until the water volume in the container has doubled again.
- Acclimated and ready: Your marine life is now properly acclimated and ready to be added to the tank. Be sure to dispose of the packing and acclimation water—never pour it into your tank.
- Observe: Leave the lights off for a while and monitor your new tank mates for any signs of aggression.

Scopas Tang
$79.99
The Scopas Tang is a strikingly beautiful fish, known for its rich brownish-yellow body and sharp black markings around its face and tail. This species is active and robust, making it a great addition to reef and fish-only aquariums. Scopas Tangs are herbivores and thrive on a diet of algae, making them excellent at helping to control unwanted algae growth in the tank. They are peaceful, but can be territorial with other tangs, especially in smaller spaces. Scopas Tangs do best in larger aquariums with plenty of swimming space and live rock for grazing. Their vibrant color and active personality make them a captivating addition to any marine setup.
