Do You Qaurantine Your Fish?

I quarantine, my equipment for quarantine is pretty simple, 50w heater ($15Au), 50l plastic storage box($11Au), 200l/ph power head(1$10Au). Its simple to make a casing for the power head out of a coke bottle, so it has media before the intake and voila. I prefer to quarantine as I dont trust most of the LFS around here as far as I can throw them
