Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Diana,
Thank you for the thought, but BRS has many versions of their modules. The "Jumbo" is one of their larger versions:
BRS GFO & Carbon Reactor - Jumbo

Thanks again,

Hi Marcus,
I finally got around to visiting OG2 yesterday. Unfortunately, they are Ghost Shrimp, and are being kept in fresh water. They could probably be converted to salt water, but I'd probably kill 90% of them in the process.

Know of any NJ bait shops that caries them?

Know of any locations on the NJ shore where they easily can be collected?

It is only worth driving out if you find something you want/need on the web site. MSRP items are also being discounted. Some of the good stuff is already gone. Check the site before you make the trip. The chest freezer full of frozen food might be a good buy.
Hmmm... maybe you've found the reason they are generally described with the "Care Level: Expert Only" notation. Is your caveat for general reef fish foods, or for the herbivorous food they require?
Suggest you respectfully ask the salesperson to feed the fish so you can see it eat. If they tell you "Sorry, it has just been fed!", go out and find yourself a more reliable retailer.
