    I can home with two beautiful ocellaris clowns, one bigger and one smaller, and two blue leg hermits. They are currently acclimating.:)

    It's taken five months and hundreds of dollars, and I finnally have my clowns.

    I'd let em go for a few minutes with your room lights on and then turn on the lights! prob not a bad idea to let them go overnight, but should be ok!

    After you do a drip acclimation, you can keep the lights turned off for another few hours. Some people don't even turn off the lights and it's fine. So, it's up to you. But the drip and temperature acclimation are pretty important. Good luck! :)
