Aquatic organism acclimation system

Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for acclimatizing aquatic organisms in an aquarium environment. In one embodiment, an acclimatizer has at least one but preferably two water pump heads, each pump head having a suction and discharge hose. The acclimatizer has a hanger with one or more hose guides that help secure suction hoses during use. A pump motor controller for each pump controls the rate of discharge for that pump, or in some embodiments, all pumps. In some embodiments, a dual-head pump is used. One or more aeration pumps, each with a corresponding hose, assist with aerating water. Acclimation water from an aquarium may be suctioned and discharged at a certain rate into an acclimation container with source water therein while the source water is being aerated by an aeration pump. The acclimation container may be in physical contact with aquarium water. Clips may secure the acclimation container to the aquarium wall.
