    Deadly Disease

    Yes! I should have set up a QT here at home. Where I purchase from has a QT system. Have been getting fish from this store for over five yrs. This is the first time I've had trouble. Thankfully my 125 Reef/fish tank is on a seperate system. I would have died if it became infected.
