NCguy you have a point and that is why I specified about our SG and the LFS we deal with and their SG not something I would reccomend to everyone but for us it is fine due to our situation.
I know it sucks when everyone is jumping on you, but I have a thought. Even the LFS owner doesn't know what problems he may be introducing to his system each and every day. They get so many specimens from so many sources, that it is just a crap shoot in my opinion. There are so many bad things that even the owner might not be aware of until it's too late. Why even risk it when you can add the fish, without the water? I don't want to get too graphic, but it's like saying "I know the person that I am dating doesn't have any STD's." When it can take months for symptoms to actually show up. (not speaking first hand by the way.)
