Some Advise Needed

so i got my CANDY APPLE ZOA arriving tomorrow, aswell as my amazing critters.
what i am wondering how should i acclimitise them both? (not the ethod but obviously i cant mix water)

I'm confused. For just about everything except sponges you pretty much can't go wrong drip acclimating and then a brief couple seconds of travel time in the air to get from bag to tank, but you said you can't mix the water so I don't understand what constraints are causing the problem? Is it that things are arriving somehow not in a bag of water? If something is wrapped in wet paper towel or something similar with no standing water then you don't have a whole lot of choice except to dunk straight in, since drip acclimating wouldn't be much different from that.

no i mean they are from 2 different places, how would i go about acliitising them at the same time if they come at the same time?

Ah! Gotcha. If you have an equipment shortage then just open up one of the bags to have some access to fresh air while the other one acclimates. A couple hours wait shouldn't make a difference.

ok, probally be better if the zoa waits a bit. they will do better.
