Heres a good acclimation tip that has served me very well over the years... Treat the acclimation water with Methylene blue, simply add as much as it takes to turn the water quite blue as it is non toxic. This substance will reduce light levels (and thus stress), detoxifies nitrate and any cyanide (from cyanide capture) in the fish’s blood, acts as a mild anti microbial agent and aids oxygen transport. Don’t add any to the aquarium itself, as it will kill off the beneficial bacteria. This should as a quite effective anti-parasite/disease organism dip. The use of a copper additive here also works well for fish only (toxic to invertebrates) and is very effective against marine Ich type disease organisms. #SaltwaterAquariumAdvice
