Oh my gosh I must need more coffee I didn't even notice the crab! I was looking at what I think is an RFA... ROFL but yes I do love the red crab as well.

Good morning Peeps and Happy Easter all you Smorg’s! This time in two weeks I will be on my 3rd day in Florida, Sun, fun, sunblock, day drinking, seafood, palm trees and I’m bringing little hats with rubber bands to put on iguanas incase there is a cold spell. I was looking forward to eating a Cuban sandwich and having 1-9 Heinekens with Luis but we are to far north.

I alerted the authorities, in Madeira Beach, to your arrival. They were very grateful and offered me an honorary police badge. So, I may show up, while you're in town, and arrest you on charges of being too handsome. (See how I turned that frown upside down)
 
You guys might understand my excitement. So I bought my tank used and the massive stand its on is more of just a really well built strong table and the sump just sets on the floor under it so there is no storage area. Well I just ordered this and I think it will be perfect to put beside the tank to hide all my supplies! My plan is to leave one of the shelves out and attach the awesome surge protector that has 22 outlets to the back of it so I can plug everything in and organize all my cords better! Right now they are a jumbled up mess sitting on a small table that looks awful. 😆 And yes my husband could have built me something similar but he said it would cost a lot more than what this one cost not to mention he has no time right now to build me anything. He said it can be my extra early birthday present since my birthday is next month.

I don't look like Mr. Clean thank goodness but I'm all about keeping things organized and the cords and not really having a good place to put everything has been driving me crazier than I already am. I was thinking I might could even get one if those really small mini fridges to put on top of it to put stuff in that needs to be kept in the fridge like phyto, brine shrimp eggs and AB+.

Not so much worry about the buildings but the women and children which I already have covered. It would be a good time to hand off some bodies to you for pickling. It is less than two hours from me.

I love RFAs and want to get more. I lost one yesterday and it was my fault. It had moved behind the rocks where I couldn't see it so while I was soaking my wavemakers in citric acid I moved it to the front close to my other one. Over an hour later when I put the wavemakers back in I forgot to check to make sure it had attached before turning them back on and it got sucked into one of the wavemakers. I have ordered guards for them but they haven't gotten here yet. I felt awfully belittle was the prettier one of the two that I had.
