Plenty of time to sleep when I'm dead.
Bingo!

It's only 76 here due to the rain, but it might as well be 100° with all this rain. You can't do anything outdoors. Well im off today, so I guess ill just sit in front of the tank all day and overfeed the fish!
Starting to sound like a girly man. There's plenty of things to do in the rain.

I've been wanting to add some smaller sps frags to my tank, but the prices are crazy right now! I had a cart with a small pink birdsnest frag, and encrusted small frag plug of neon psammacora, and a 3 head purple candy cane frag and it was over $200. Then there's a $10 box fee on top of shipping if you have to pay it, or even if you get free shipping. When I get my frag tank up and running here in a few weeks, I may just have to start selling them to help folks out lol.
