Same as how u acclimate them into the QT tank.

Some reefers will play safe but doing 1 last round of fresh water dip or medicated bath before putting into the main tank.

So hopefully the water in your QT is the 'same' as your main display (with exception of meds). So that the fish have been getting used to you main display water for sometime. If this is the case then you don't need to spend too much time acclimatise them, reducing stress.

When ready go transfer I use a secondary 'bath' so basically I don't place them directly from the QT into the main display. Sometimes this is RODI water in the form of a fresh water dip. But if the fish is a little intolerant of this (I find wrasse hate it) then I would just use a dip.

Transfer into an acrylic box in the tank, allowing fish to get accustomed to their new tank mate(s) for a day. When time to release I feed my main display a tiny bit more so the fish are well fed and then I do the final transfer in the evening so that there is less aggression.
