An LFS in my area opened less than a year ago. He's a nice, ambitious young guy who I've kinda taken a liking too. I do remember he did have a bacterial outbreak at one point in the past. Anyway, his shop burned and now is about to open again after re-building. He's got only about 12 display tanks, with six of'm plummed together. He's got 4 tanks with coral and shrimp, crabs, and the like. His main business is tanks, installs, and regular maintenance.
He says he's trying to stay away from copper. I'm trying to convince him to run some in the six fish only tanks. Anyone wanna help me come up with something to convince him? I just think that he'd be a lot better off with receiving fish after transport, when they've likely been stressed and could cause an outbreak thru all his fish only tanks.
Does this make sense, or should I leave it alone? He's got the right idea about trying to provide high quality fish, but I think he could be setting himself up for huge losses?
Any input or thoughts that I might pass along to him? Don't all LFS'ers use copper in their fish tanks?
