Where to buy properly quarantined fish?

+1 TSM Aquatics. I live 40 mins away and stopped by last week. I got to chat with one of the co-owners, Matt, for at least 20 min. They take their quarantine process very seriously.

Here's a pic of one row of ready-to-sell fish. I didn't see a single sick or dead fish in any of their tanks.

And here's a shot of the section of their warehouse dedicated for quarantining.

I will be ordering all my future fish from them.
All fish for my system are being sourced from @Tsm Aquatics as well.
Super healthy fish and awesome facility.
 
So. Y’all don’t qt at all when you order fish from those sources? Man that’s a trust fall I’m not sure I can take. But I really want too.
Personally after seeing the facility and talking with them at TSM, we fully trust them to do a better QT than I personally ever could could.
Not only do they have ALOT more space than I have available to me, they have actual marine biologists on staff who do things like take scrapings of fish and check to make sure they are treating for the proper disease. I’d never be able to that at home, let alone in an instance where a fish was actually sick and time was of the essence.

A lot of people don’t have the knowledge or space to do a proper QT at home. And I fully understand people not trusting vendors, but for me, I feel safe, and know they will do a better job than I could so it also saves me stress as well.
 
Adam from Ocean Devotion is great and has amazing customer service. He's local to me, so big plus. I wouldn't hesitate to order from him again.
 
+1 Marine Collectors. I have a Tank in my business and I really don't have the time for Qt or the space here. Marine Collectors was the way to go for me and I'm 100% satisfied.
