Accudrip Fish Acclimator

I’ve been using this Innovative Marine Accudrip Acclimator to acclimate all of my shrimp to my tanks, and it’s worked very well. I used to have a more expensive device that came with its own cup and accessories, but since I can’t find that one anymore, I switched to this model. While I do have to provide my own bowl, the acclimator itself performs exactly as needed and makes the process smooth and reliable. The design is simple but effective, allowing for a controlled drip that helps shrimp adjust safely to new water conditions. It’s easy to set up, doesn’t require complicated parts, and gives me confidence that I’m reducing stress during acclimation. For something so straightforward, it delivers consistent results every time. What I appreciate most is the balance of affordability and functionality. Even without the included cup, it’s still a dependable tool that does the job well. Compared to pricier options, this acclimator offers excellent value, and it’s become my go‑to solution for every shrimp transfer. Over time, I’ve found it to be durable and dependable across repeated use. I’ve used it for multiple acclimations across different tanks, and it continues to hold up without issues. The tubing and valve remain consistent, and the drip control stays accurate even after repeated setups. That kind of reliability makes it a tool I trust, and it’s why I’ve stuck with it as my standard acclimation method. A reliable, easy‑to‑use acclimator that makes shrimp acclimation safe and stress‑free. It may not come with all the extras of more expensive kits, but it works well, holds up over time, and provides great value for the price.

I love love love using this item. It delivers it top quality. It makes exclamation so much easier and better for your livestock. I like that. It has a hook shape on top that conveniently just stays put on your tank throughout the whole process. And you basically operated Like an IV trip. It has a little bubble that allows you to monitor Drop frequency and the flow adjuster that works exactly the way it’s supposed to work. I normally just let it trip at three drops per second and double up volume of water in a 1 L container Starting with probably one cup of water from the sheep bag. A couple of times after having floated the livestock bags in the tank for temperature exclamation. It certainly beats adding water with a cup every 15 minutes or so. So simple that my three year old already knows the process and explained it perfectly to his babysitter the other day. Lol. Lasts a while too. I just ordered a second one because I thought I lost my original one from three years ago and I just found them and now I have both and the old one still works just as good as new.IM is a great company and the products are amazing. Thank you for making them. One suggestion your name make for users is make sure you wash yours thoroughly with freshwater after use because I don’t and my old one has developed some mold inside the tube. But it still works regardless.

I used to make these by tying some tubing in a knot just tight enough to drip. This device simplifies that process with an adjustable control. I found that it works great.

Use this whenever I buy new fish. Love that it has an adjustable output. Have not had any issues acclimating fish. The only thing that I would improve on is the suction for the water to come in. Otherwise you are definitely going to need to have whatever you have your fish in below the tank so that gravity can do its thing. Good quality and definitely worth it.

I buy shrimp for my Pea Puffers at least twice a month. I know they are food for them, but it sucks when you buy something and within a day they are all dead. Shrimp need to be adjusted to the water slowly, so a drip tool is great. Works well and you can adjust the speed of the drips also

Used it to drip acclimate my anemone it worked great it did what it was supposed to, only problem is it the instructions basically don’t make sense I had to look up a video on how to use it, other than that it’s great

it is very easy to use, and makes drip acclimation very simple and straightforward

Genius product and a must have for acclimating any fish or other to salt or fresh water aquarium.

Easy to use, works like it says it does. Used it to acclimate an adopted betta, right in the bowl I adopted him in.

Trying to get a replacement. Being asked alot of questions and picture proof. Great product, but a hazzle to get a replacement

Este producto me resulto perfectamente útil a la hora de aclimatar mis peces y que puedes regular la velocidad constante de el goteo. Es muy fácil de usar y cómodo para todos nosotros los acuaristas

I should have gotten this earlier. Now supplying the tank with fresh water without causing shock to my shrimps is so much easier and convenient. Look at how happy my fire red shrimps are (see last photo). Previously, I was using the water bottle drip irrigation method to do water change. I will hang the device at the edge of the shrimp tank. However, if the water bottle wasn't steady enough when I placed it and falls, my floor will be flooded and there was a lot of cleaning to do. I don't have this worry anymore. It's worth the price to save me time and effort. Also, it's a much hassle-free setup. The only downside is the hook end is not long enough to reach the bottom of the container (see second photo). Once the water reaches the end of the hook, the drip stops and I'll transfer the remaining water to a 1L beaker, so that the hook end can get the water again. After the 1L beaker (because the hook end doesn't reach its bottom too), I'll repeat the process with a 500ml beaker, which is the final step where all water will be dripped out. It may sound like a lot of trouble, but it's a lot easier than what I was doing previously. So this small hassle is still alright. 'cos I love my shrimp babies!!! Just a suggestion to the seller, I think what could make this better is if you can provide a connecting tube for the hook, to solve the problem I have. I'd think other aquarium hobbyists may also encounter this. In the meantime, I'll find a suitable tube size for the hook end and improve on this on my own (maybe I'll cut the other end of this device...hmm). Hope this review has been useful.

Works well another quality product from innovative marine.I use it for acclimating shrimp and snails and does the job.
