Heeeeeeeck no!
Grits are 24/7! That's some rule from another planet. (Aka Florida)
I agree !
It’s proabably something south of Ohio and north of Kentucky . We eat grits full time and I think someone didn’t order enough shrimp cause they catch those all day long off the coast. Was kevin at the IHOP ! 🤣

Good point here Tom. I was wondering about that, because that's a lot of dead shrimp at once if your not careful
A lot of dead, tiny, non-dense, shrimp. A hundred of them wouldn't equal one dead snail plus many of them will get eaten by your CuC and corals as well as the fish. Full grown ones are more a hobby for your fish than a food source. Chasing them down gets your fish into a feeding frenzy so your herbivores will eat more herbs and you carnivores will eat more carne.

I let the city buy me tacos today. 3 - Beef Birria, Carnitas, and Al Pastor.

Tomorrow I think it's going to be boxed lunches from Jimmy John's or Firehouse Subs I think.

That's why I offered my help... you're 100% correct, I'm in Risk Management lol.
I am the guy who usually causes risk management to have to get involved.
