My Secret Santa 2025 gift. They must have done research. All the fish on the shirt are fish I've owned and want to own again. Particularly the mandarin.

I'm going to lay this out for my extended family...meaning you...the Smorgs.
My heart is heavy tonight under circumstances that I cannot share.
I want you all to have my number. Please, if only to vent or 'female dog'...I want you ALL to know I am here for you, no matter what.
I don't care what time it is, what day it is. You all mean the world to me even though we haven't met. I can truly say you are all my family and I care for each and every one in this thread.

Mine has moved about four inches. I moved it back two inches though as it ended up against the side panel. They can inflate and kind of glide across the sand on the current. It stays very clean of sand however. It also has really good feeding response.
Ive noticed how free of sand they stay. That was really my only concern. That and nassarius toppling it over, but it's wide and th a t shouldn't be too much of a problem. Thanks Tom good info
 
They are looking great but the war paint is a lot more puffy than the bleeding apple but all the colors look great.
I think thats typical with those Kevin, if im not mistaken

I feel the same way about you all. It's crazy. I dont even have Facebook. So the Smorgasbord is my first foray into social media and we are all like a little family What a cool and warm hearted group of people. Well said Keith.
 
Hello everyone, just stopping in to say hi, things have been busy here. We are in a few new distributors now and just hit the UK market. I hope everyone is doing well.
Great work man. You deserve every bit of your success.
