The LFS in my area do drip acclimate the new fish shipment for at least 1 hour before they put them into a sale tank but they do not quarantine new shipment.
I did test their water and oddly their salinity from their coral frags tank and clam tank are +/- 0.01 compare to my tank salinity but most of the time dead on 1.025 (I'm running mine at 1.026), however their PH quite vary between 7.8~8.0 so I do drip acclimation to match up PH and I take advantage of drip acclimate time to investigate my live stock (clams) for parasite and clean them up before it goes into my tank.
