Day 2 Ramadhan, 2021
"Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show us our Manasik (all the ceremonies of pilgrimage - Hajj and 'Umrah), and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful." -(Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 128)
Saltwater Aquarium 101 - Acclimation
So you're ready to start your first saltwater aquarium, and eager enough to start buying fishes/corals.

What next?
Do you immediately welcome them to their new home?
Or you got distracted and left them in the oxygen filled water bag for days? (Oh dear, hope not!)
First things first, you need to acclimate them, so that they won't die out of culture shock or get bullied by the seniors in the aquarium.
What's acclimation you ask?
According to Google, it means "the process or result of becoming accustomed to a new climate or to new conditions". In layman's terms, it's to balance the water temperature/parameter and letting the others know, "hey, we got new friends here".
There are 2 steps that we practice;
1) Float the bag in the aquarium for around 15 minutes to acclimate the water temperature.
2) Then, open the bag, throw away half the water and replace the same amount of water threw with the aquarium water to acclimate the water parameter.
