I've been there a few times, and they are worth a visit - I found Alex is quite knowledgeable. The address is 1004 US Highway 46 East, Unit 3, Ledgewood, NJ 07852. I do, however, suggest that you call first to make sure Alex is on site - as I can't find the store hours on-line. The phone...

Do you still stock New Era Marine Grazer?

Does anyone know of any local NJ fish stores that (consistently) stock live feeder grass shrimp? (Or glass shrimp or ghost shrimp or ditch shrimp?) -OR- Know of any NJ bait shops that caries them? -OR- Know of any locations on the NJ shore where they easily can be collected? TIA...

Never saw that stuff before. What was it manufactured to do?

Someone needs to get out to LI and pick this up for us: https://longisland.craigslist.org/for/d/large-holiday-reef/6337766201.html

Scientists just discovered the first brainless animal that sleeps

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.

Any rumors on the next dollar-a-gallon tank sale? (PetCo, PetSmart, Pet Supplies Plus)

I want one with my name on it!

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.

Sorry, I was being facetious (holy cr@p! I spelled that word correctly the first time!) about the 300G tank. I actually have no idea what size tank the poster intended to put these fish in. I think putting both in anything less than a 180 is just an accident waiting to happen...

The ones at Aquatic Obsessions are $249.

They should both be OK in a 300 Gallon tank. That said, Achilles are notoriously difficult to keep alive, and Powder Blues are Ich Magnets, especially when they are stressed.

Any plans for a table or two for members to sell used stuff, like the meeting two months ago?

When one makes a hole in one's outside wall for a pipe that will feed outside air into a skimmer, what do you use to prevent bugs and other critters from entering that pipe? Won't some sort of filter obstruct the flow of air?

I have trouble buying the argument that silicone fails in a well built tank. I have a 90 and a 65 (both O'Dells) that have been holding water for close to 40 years. However, "bad" batches of silicone have been manufactured. O'Dell went out of business because of a bad batch that caused all...

I think the meeting will prove to be very productive for Feng.

Looks like TB Aquatics is going under. They're discounting everything, including all of the usual non-discounted MSRP brands. Discounts are only on in-stock merchandise. The current discount is around 10%, but it looks like the discounts will ramp up over time...
