How do you acclimate them?

The place I bought them is very close to my home, I don't know what there water parameters are however most of the fish I own came from the same shop (Albany aquairum for those from the bay area very good shop)
When I bring them home I float the bag for about 20-30 mins, then I add a little bit of tank water to the bag and let sit for 5-10 min, I do this 2 or 3 times before i empty the bag through a net and put the fish in the tank. Keep in mind that the fish didn't have a massive death this was slow. I also don't know why the water has such a low PH and KH compared to my tap water

CO2 is on a Solinoid, comes on and goes off with the lights
