Just to clarify - WHOLESALERS in LA keep stock tanks at .017-.019 ostensibly to inhibit parasite outbreaks. If an LFS tries to acclimate them to a .022 - .o23, along with ph changes, this can causes high stress and possible parasite outbreaks.
This is another good reason for using isolation tanks and slow acclimation at both the LFS and buyer level.
