At what SG of the acclimation "tank" is it ok to add her to the real tank. Should they be dead even or how far off can they be?

Wow. Maybe I don't know this, no greater than .02? Preferably the same? But place the container in the tank gently when you move bacon finally, and allow her to swim gently out.

Awwww! Man she's cute!
My moonlight is bright like that too, That's why I don't leave I it on all night.
Bacon may pace for a while. You could leave the lights down low for a few days to let her adjust. I'm sure she didn't have T5HO before.
Bacon does look super cute!

Sounds good. That's what I'll be doing for a while, moonlight for morning and evening, actinic during the day. The only thing I wonder is how fish eyes perceive actinic. I know "blacklight is stupidly bright to them, I wonder if the same holds for actinic. Hopefully not.

Never knew that about the blacklight
We had a little less window surfing this am, saw her eyeing up one of the hermits and the emerald had to shake his claws to get her to leave him alone LOL
