I have heard they taste really good especially if they are eating a lot of acorns...
 
It was just Friday that we were enjoying 78* weather, wearing short sleeves, and taking photos among the daffodils... Now, it's 28* and snowing. 🙃

Looking great Kevin!! I love the bright rim around it. That is one healthy fungia my friend. I can't get enough plate pics!
 
Hit the tank with 10 gallons on Sunday just like old times! Gramma might have flukes, prazipro on the way.
Hope everyone has been well.
 
Good morning crew!

The North wind has the tide way out this morning. It would be a great day for some metal detecting.

I haven't done metal detecting in a hot minute. I really should do that again.

I've seen some really cool finds down here in my area! It was highly explored by the French and Spanish explorers so there have been some cool artifacts associated with that. Then all the hurricanes over the years tossing things around...
 
Guys I think I may have figured out why my ATO dumped water into my sump yesterday. A snail had gotten stuck in the drain pipe and caused one of the side compartments to fill with water which of course made the sump water level lower causing the ATO to kick on and keep running. I was organizing my little table beside the tank where I keep food and stuff and realized the compartment was almost full of water which it normally has very little water in it. I checked and sure enough found the snail shell. So any ideas how I can keep this from happening again? Could I make put plastic crafting mesh over the drain holes?
