Default This will make some of you happy

Went to a Sea turtle hospital this past week. Pretty cool. Heres some pics of the place...and the salt they use.

Also a pic of a crab that is all over this Island. Millions of them all over the marsh flats when the tide goes out.

Cool pics. And those skimmers look huge, esp. considering the size of tanks that they appear to be connected to.
