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.
Welcome To NJRC! Take a minute to introduce yourself

Hi, my name is Bennett i'm 17 years old live in Ocean county. I'm new here and always looked for an aquarium/reef club and i finally found one in NJ lol. I'm graduating in 2007, and going to school for Marine biology/ hopefully to get my masters in ichtyology, im in a program called the posiedon academy in school.
Here goes ive been interested in the hobby ever since i was young. In my life ive kept way too many aquariums, always upgrading to a bigger size lol. I have a 210 gallon marine predators with about 210 lbs of live rock, it holds a dogface puffer, niger trigger, bluethroat trigger, imperator angelfish, a powder blue tang, and a moorish idol. That tank use to be home to my long passed Jardini Arowana.
I have a 125 Central American cichlids tank. started with oscars after two years adopted out and got a Amp. salvini, chocolate cichlid, texas, and two small reticulated rays. thinking about upgrading this lol.

Hello everyone! My name is Pat and I am 46 years old. I was born and raised in Ventnor South Jersey and now live in Somers Point. I am a former Marine(1980-1983). I am married with 2 kids and 2 dogs. I have been into saltwater fish for about 25 years but have never attempted a reef until now. I am in the process of combining 2 FOWLR tanks(never enough time) into a 105g. reef(hopefully).
I have not yet sent in my application or dues but hope to soon. Then I can hopefully catch a couple of meetings and further my learning process. I really feel lost right now but I know that will change with time and experience(and a little trial and error).

Welcome to NJRC, Grisha!
I think with an NJT train you could get to Piscataway, Edison, Metro Park. We have members in these towns. Hopefully one of them would be able to make the stop and pick you up. Let us know if that's an option and we'll see what we can do!
That's going further south than you'd need to go, but I think that might be the easiest way to get you there.
