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. Thanks for the reply, Bob

Glad I picked up my Achilles when I did...

Stan - Thank you, I may just take you up on your offer. Relic Turtle - I have done some research on Halocaridina Rubra (A.K.A. Volcano Shrimp or their Hawaiian name "Opae Ula" or Micro Lobster or Super Shrimp or Hawaiian Red Shrimp or Ecosphere Shrimp or Anchialine Shrimp or Endemic Red Shrimp...

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?
