I thought I'd go ahead and start the morning thread. I'll bet Dave is already up! Even on the west coast it's morning. I keep a weird schedule so by the time I see those darn wednesday camels it's well into the afternoon. I never offer breakfast, so...Smoked local salmon benedict, fresh fruit, cappacino extra shot (or whatever morning libation you choose... I dont judge). Cath if you dont eat fish I'm adding a spinach option.
one of the reasons I'm up so late (or early) i was typing out a reply to Hack's question from yesterday's thread. so here it is.
Hack, don't hesitate for a moment. Take Action. Be Strong. Remember, however extreme the measures I suggest or the coarseness of my language we are talking about pity for your coral, not vengeance on your crabs... No matter how painful or repugnant to you and your intestinal fortitude,
Stab the demons between the eyes with the closest pointy stick you can find. This is the best course of action.
Yet, as a friendly shark who values all life, you might not approve of, nor be comfortable with, that method. If so, pick the miscreants out (ever so gently)with ermine tongs and return them to whatever abomination of a retailer from whence they came. (usually the LFS, who import them straight from hell). Demand your $7.99 back. Should you choose to retain a lawyer, punitive damages and emotional distress might be in order. If your neck hurts, even better.
I have read your descriptions of "Little Hack" who seems to be an adorable, observant and precocious boy, raised on love and "pink milk" (whatever the heck that is). I do not worry about the crabs; they will find someone else's coral to eat or end up as a yummy Asian bar snack. I worry about L.H., who has most likely noticed and observed the crab since he was added (obviously due to the nefarious urgings of a network of some indonesian crab cartel). You will have some explaining to do to your son.
Sadly, this will not be easy. As I mentioned before, he seems be a smart boy, so the whole "went to live on a farm where he can run and play" just aint gonna work. I really am at a loss with this one, as I raised my children to believe there were emerald crabs hiding under their beds in order to keep them from getting up at night. So I'm afraid this one is up to you.
Speaking of the accursed crabs... did you say there was one in your sump? Not cool. The united states has more hermit crabs in confinement than any other country in the world. In fact, the private sump prison system is unsustainably expensive. You've got the sump itself, plus the crab's share of the heater, skimmer, sock, maintenance... and it all takes electricity. Wow, if I had one living in my sump I would charge it rent. You will want to also, but here's the thing... Emerald crabs have no money! And it will take you about a year and thousands of dollars to evict them.
PS: Can I have cake?

But tonight same thing, and looked like he was helping himself to it......Oh no you ain't.....right in the sump! Hopefully the other 2 read the instruction sheet, and will behave.
