Your better off testing the lfs water quality yourself. Around here there is store that use to keep there fish in hypo-salinity and they also had detectable amonia. Know the quality of livestock you are purchasing. Don't believe the word of a person in retail who wants your money. Do the research yourself, take the time to test there water.

When I went back to this lfs and talked to the owner about his problems he played dumb. Told me some BS. Never went back again.

Here's a link describing it http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issu...02/feature.htm
If a method works for another reefer- don't jump on the wagon and hope for the best. Research all possible methods and decide which method works for you. Factors to include are initial start-upcost and monthly cost. There's alot of reefers using the Zeo, Prodibio, Barebottom, Berlin method to list some of the more popular ways of maintaining a reef tank. I've read where alot of reefers are now using a combination of methods now, running a Berlin method but also using Zeo or Prodibio additives.

I couldn't agree with this more. Always test the water quality of anyone you purchase from.
