[cugly]

Curious to how addicted are you to keeping saltwater tanks..ill start.

Anytime anywhere we go on vacay or just going to another state. the first thing I try to find out is where is the lfs

What about you

We went to Dallas in December so my wife could have surgery. We hit 3 LFS.
We just went to Vegas this week. There are 9 listed LFS in Metro Vegas,we hit 8.
2 Separate trips yesterday to Phoenix stores.
Always reading about or looking for my next coral/nem.
Skimping on groceries so there is more money for coral.

Do I have a problem??

Ever drive by a nice house and think "Where would I put the big tank"?

When we moved a couple years, I nixed quite a few houses until I found the one I could have the fish room and another room behind for mixing station and equipment. We had a few interesting discussions with the realtor LOL.

 

[kmbyrnes]

cugly, she went with me to 2 of them.
She had outpatient surgery on her back ( successful ) and the docs said walking would be good.

One of the considerations when we moved last year (for both of us) was "where will the tanks go?". We actually ruled out 2 houses because there wasn't a good spot for them.

Looking at colleges for my daughter, I'm looking for LFS near the campuses so I have something to do on parents weekends.

I'm not allowed to have any more saltwater tanks but recently got permission from the mrs to get our pet turtle a bigger home so he's getting a 120g with corner overflow, Durso standpipe and a 40g sump.

Got rid of my final fish tank for awhile about 6 months ago. In college now and really don't have the funds or time to set one up any time soon and I don't plan on getting one until after graduating (3-6 years depending on how much schooling I wanna go through). But, I lurk on reefcentral and read about peoples issues and achievements for fun... I pretty much live vicariously through everyone on this website :bum:

Thats the best part of these smart phones. Go on the maps and search for fish stores that are near were you are. This hobby is one of the only ones that you will let random people in your house. How many reefers have you never met till the day they came to buy frags

Love it.

Make sure to regularly check the calcium levels for his, um, shell! Yeah that's it.

I might just have figured out a way to get a bigger tank. Buy a fish that needs a 200gal when fully grown put it in my 60 and then when it gets bigger I'll plead my case and by then everyone will be to attached to the fish to get rid of it;-) its fool proof. Am I good or am I good

I took out a loan to build a 40g breeder because I couldn't handle my nano. I'm already looking for new builds and tanks. This is why it's hard to focus in college lol

 

[Peter Eichler]

I've been a part of the hobby non-stop since I was about 10. Multiple tanks for all but a couple out of the last 30 years.
