Choose what method you utilize or explain what other method you prefer. Let's try and keep this to the subject without the lol's, fails, etc. If you feel that you have something to offer, feel free to post about it, if not don't bother commenting.

I usually temp and drop.
Unless it's something sensitive to salinity swings such as shrimps.

Float to temp acclimate corals and then drop them right In(typically buy pre dipped from Dong if not dip before putting in). And then for fish I float for temp then drip acclimate them.

I temp & dump most fish. Corals / inverts I pseudo-drip acclimate - I add 1/4 or 1/2cup tank water every 5-10min.

Use i.v. drip set 1 drop a second for minimum of an hour

Temp, net and drop for fish and inverts. Corals dip and place in the tank. Just want to keep the water they come with out of the tank.

Coral - temp, dip, in tank

Temp then a cup of water 2x 15 minutes apart then fish it out

Where does everyone put their coral for light acclimation? Like how many days until you put them up top?

I try not to move them around too much. I put them where I want them. They might suffer for a while but will acclimate to it. I know most people either put the coral low or drop the light intensity/length to accommodate new corals but I believe you’ll be stressing out the ones you already have.
