RA -- Hi My Name Is SkullV -- And I'm an Addict!

[SkullV]

Reefers Anonymous, well not so anonymous (not making fun of any real Anonymous groups).

Today I was sitting in my apartment bored, so I figured the only thing I could possibly do was go to Frankie's house and pick up the blue Milli that he has been holding for me. On my way home from his house I always pass by New Fish...well I literally could not get past New Fish without going in and buying some coral. Ended up leaving with a Green w/purple tentacles Tongue Coral.

Anyone else having these issues? Who else is a true reefer addict? Share your stories!

im just like you, i cant stop into a fish store without buying something. The last 3-4 trips it was new fish, i do not want to go to any reef store right now because i should not be buying anything(in between systems).

 

[Peka]

wow, you do have a problem...not me though....I just fed the seahorses.. the 90 gallon DT, the 55 gallon DT, the three 29 gallon tanks, the 20 gallon baby erectus tank...wait a minute.... I do have a problem don't I????? Sigh....

 

[bartek101]

Wait......So I am NOT the only one with that problem???
:eek1:

 

[SkullV]

Not even an issue of buying something once I'm in the store...I couldn't even drive past without going in!!

Umm I think anyone that logs onto this forum is an addict lol

 

[Sullyman]

This hobby has it's share of hoarders too, lol, maybe we could ask about setting up a forum for reef related mental issues that would address addiction, hoarding, and of course crashes, may need a suicide hotline for that last one. I'll need that number on speed dial...................cause ya just never know................

 

[unbelievable]

After restarting my tank I am being a lot more particular about the corals I'm putting in my tank. It's actually pretty easy for me NOT to buy anything. I guess I'm the exception....

 

[BADGUS]

I decided to get a bigger tank mostly for my moorish idol,i went thru a cras a few months back and am afraid of killing anything else,so now i will only put in frags from fellow reefers tanks.

I have known for a long time that I've been addicted. I thought I had a grip on it till Mothers day.

I went to the INDMAS swap Saturday and for some reason thought it would be a good idea to buy the wife a frag as a mothers day present.... it wasn't.

 

[nanonubey]

I drove 100 mile round trip to Aquatica for a MP10 for my frag tank. But I only bought that because I have control over my addiction.

(Original author of that is Chad, who's tank is far from nano, and can hardly be called a nubey...)

Dave was my sponsor until he went off the wagon and bought every L.E.D. made! :lolspin:

Pictures of the tongue coral?!?! I myself have one, but it is not multi-colored.... nor has it really grown much. Anyways I am the same way. I find myself going to Exotic Aquatics multiple times a week just to check stuff out. Jeff is always fragging stuff, so he tends to hook it up!

 

[Reef1589]

haha im an addict...
im usually a window shopper at the LFS, cant ever bring any frags home but lately ive been prefering to go to Local Reefers as i find they have healthier better looking frags/corals and i always show up there with cash i give myself a limit say 70 doller's, but ill hide that extra 30 in the wallet incase i see something i cant resist

 

[ashtree68]

I saw that the other day when I was in there was tempted but was able to say no. I've admitted I have a problem, I got bored at work, found some scraps of glass and built a pico tank for my desk, using scraps/left overs around my office/house. That's also on top of the 20 I'm building and thinking of converting one of my last FW tanks to salt.

Totally went from having 1 salt tank and 1 brackish and 4 fresh to 5 salt and one fresh...oops.

 

[boxer385]

i thought it was only me, i spend money every payday.

 

[marius880]

Yes I knew i wasn't the only one. Besides addicting . Which i am 120% this hobby is also evil. I know I'm not the only one out there that has 2 prices for everything he/she buys. One which is a real price. And the other which u share with your spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend. (everyone but Badgus)

 

[skunkmere]

I haven't bought a coral from a lfs for in a long time, just local reefers. I do stop in at lfs though, I always feel bad when I leave without buying anything and chattiing with the staff, but what can you do. I don't like paying retail unless I exhaust all other options. Blah blah blah I'm a fish junkie too.
