Never did it but heard of successful people that did. Perhaps just drip them in real slow, maybe put some salt in their existing tank for a few days beforehand (unless there's other fish in there)..
The slower the transition the better is usually the rule of thumb with anything in the hobby....

I agree with media if you can slowly transform them to SW would be the best, less stock and stress

Yeah, I've tried this. Didnt work out for me mainly because I did it too fast. Hoping to try it though.
