Uh, no thanks, I'll do my own QT

Aquarium illusions has a proper QT system in the back of the store (5 rows of tanks on 3 different systems if I am remembering right) were they QT new fish for 2 weeks and do treatments in if/when needed. Now I know 6 weeks would be better but 2 weeks usually catches most illness and if there are fish that need special treatments those fish stay in QT until the required treatment is done.

I wouldn't pay anymore for a fish with 2 weeks QT. I also wouldn't consider it quarantined and would have to do the 6 weeks myself. So while it's a nice gesture, that's all it really is, IMO
