Floating Method
Float the bag in the aquarium for 15-30 minutes (Fig. A). Never open the bag at this time.
This step allows the water in the bag to adjust slowly to the temperature in the aquarium,
while maintaining a high level of dissolved oxygen.
After floating the sealed bag for 15-30 minutes, remove the rubber-band on bag (Fig. B) and
roll the top edge of the bag down one inch to create an air pocket within the lip of the bag.
This will enable the bag to float on the surface of the water (Fig. C). For heavy pieces of live
coral that will submerge the bag, place the bag containing the coral in a plastic bowl or
specimen container.
Add 1/2 cup of aquarium water to the shipping bag (Fig. D).
Repeat step 5 every 15 minutes until the bag is full.
Lift the bag from the aquarium and discard half the water from the bag (Fig. E).
Float the bag in the aquarium again and proceed to add 1/2 cup of aquarium water to the
shipping bag every four minutes until the bag is full.
Net aquatic life from the shipping bag and release into the aquarium (Fig. F).
Remove the filled bag from the aquarium and discard the water. Never put bag water into
your aquarium.
