Medical Drip set for Drip Acclimation Method to Acclimatize Shrimps

[jeffteo]

I always use this method of using the medical drip set for acclimation of the more sensitive fish and today I bought some Malayan Shrimp and decided to do the same.

No cutting of tubes or pinching of air control valve lever. Just remember to get a brand new one which is sterile and washing is not needed. Just role the clip to control the flow. 1 drop per 1 or 5 minutes is possible.

Video speaks a million words so here goes...

Sorry guys, provided wrong info on the name of the product and the availability. It should be called Intravenous (IV) tubing and generally it is NOT available everywhere.
My bad for not checking the source properly from my "supplier". I did a search and found that Baxter Healthcare sells them. They should have alot of branches here -> http://www.hotfrog.sg/Products/Iv-Tubing/Singapore

Found this site of someone who is also using the same method for both acclimatizing and dosing -> http://jjgeisler.com/reeftank/iv_drip_system.htm

For my, I did not use the bag but a normal container. I dump the whole drip chamber into the water, cut off the connector on the other end and use a syringe to start a siphon. Once a siphon is started, use the thumb wheel to control the flow. It will be good if you can find one as this will not rust as compared to a metal air control valve unless you use plastic one.

I a bit kiasu when i acclimatize my 2nd batch of Malayan. I took 4 hours to drip 1 liter of tank water into the bag.
