I wish to add 2 GSPs, to my saltwater aquarium, and was wondering how long should i acclimate them, if going from ~.08 to ~.021?

A fish like a GSP can easily be acclimated from FW to SW in an hour, but you can give them more time if you want to rest easier about it. Drip is what most people suggest, but honestly I just add water slowly every 5-10 minutes.

Dripping isn't too hard either, all you need is an airline tubing, clamp it or tie knots to slow the flow down to a drip.
