Aquatic Central that's the name of the place I was trying to forget that name, I bought 2 tuxedo urchins, introduced them to my tank without QT (hey they're inverts....) unfortunately they were sharing water with tanks that had fish in it... I had some disease wipe out a great deal of my fish. Tomato clown (the mate of my original), Naso tang, Kole Tang, couple chromis, and those that survived had what looked like "ich" like symptoms, hell the cleaner shrimp were going double duty on them. And the urchins were the only explaination.
Hope they really change things around.

Well that's what I meant by "separate tanks" is they don't share the same water supply.

Exactly the problem, but only when said inverts are in tanks with fish.
From what I've learned inverts should be isolated from verts in a LFS.

Why? Is this something learned from working or running a LFS, or something you've observed while shopping @ a LFS? I beg to differ on that one. Some fish need a "reef" environment in a store, they do much better in non copper/ near NSW levels. Take freshly imported Royal Grammas for instance. They typically come in at MUCH high salinities then hobbyists are used to (1.030). If you "acclimate" them straight to FO systems, they don't do so hot.
