...when your wife and daughter leave you and it took you two weeks to notice.

 

[acroconut]

When the only way to get into bed is to jump over the headboard cause there are tanks on 3 sides.

 

[acroconut]

When you're afraid to sleep at night for fear that a tank will leak and your bed might not float.

When you've got a running tab at the LFS.........
When you can't go to bed until the light in your tank goes off......
When you start thinking about who will take care of your fish tank after your dead and gone....
When someone says "Lets go eat seafood tonight" and you get offended....

 

[TJ]

this is for you ladies (or bachelors)- when you clean your tank really well inside and out, water changes, etc., and you feel like your house is clean.

 

[TJ]

When you start thinking about who will take care of your fish tank after your dead and gone....

that's weird... I do that all the time.

 

[p4ck37p1mp]

...when the credit card company calls the other half and says "we have a charge of $xxxx at $favorite_lfs.." and she says, no thats him. =P (and then I have to take her to her favorite restaurant..)

When you have CAD drawings of plumbing and wiring..and bore holes through walls to achieve accurant representations of said drawings..

When the LFS calls to tell you about the cool new corals because they know you can't help buying them..

When you try for 6 months to convice the other half that the dining room really isn't used that much, and the guest bedroom behind it could be a very good place for all the fish hardware.. (lost this one)

Maybe not obsessed YET, but definitely on my way:

When you haven't finished setting up your first 75 gal reef tank and you consider dropping it because you just saw this really cool 300 gal project on the DIY forum and you want to do that instead and just use the 75 as a sump.

When you bring home a $100 holey rock (yup, just 1, but it's perfect for my setup) and you wonder why your wife doesn't gush about its beauty.

When you decide the sum total of the info published by lighting manufacturers is inadequate and you wonder what it would take to research, design, and build your own computer-controlled light panel so you can accurately control the spectal power density of the light hitting your SPS.

Good stuff, everyone.

You stare at your tank and wish you had a SHRINKING machine so you can put on scuba gear, shrink down and dive your tank for a while...

Yep.... actually thought about that one.
