Default To acclimate or not? Poll....

I want to see what the rest of the folks out there do when bringing new fish home.

I will start I guess....

For me it has always been simple regardless of species, fish or shrimp.

Once I get them I toss them in the QT tank immediately. I don't believe in any drip acclimation or temperature acclimation of any kind. These fluctuations happen everyday in nature so I see no reason to do so.

Having kept some of the hardest fish to keep in the hobby it has not failed me yet. I can say that I have tried acclimating, and most of the time the fish died.
