Time length for acclimating shrimp?

I plan to move my red cherry shrimps into a new tank with different water. Whats the minimum time that I could drip acclimate them for? And how many drips per second?

 

Got to ask you first randy is your new tank cycled and mature as in at least 2 to 3 months old

Yep. Been cycled for 2 and a half months now.

 

Ok then I'd go for at lest 2 hrs at 1drip or second, when you done dripping float you container for 10 minutes to equalise temperature, if like me you will be finding babies for weeks to come I've posted a photo of my set up I use 2ltr ice cream containers

 

One question you say it’s been cycled for 2.5 months what have you been using to keep the nitrogen cycle going? Are there fish or some other type of life? Or have you been seeding with ammonia?

For the other tank that I was planning to move them in, its got 5 baby bristlenose in it which I have grown out.
