You might be a reefneck if ...

You show your freshman English students pics of your reef tank and make them write a research paper about anything having to do with reefkeeping.

*guilty*

I'll hafta try this one
 
If, when traveling to Hawaii for the first time, you convince your Grandfather to go to just 1 fish store so you can not only buy fish, but carry them on the plane and send them through the Xray machine (yup....hey...i was 15) you might be a reefneck

BTW the fish survived for a few years and died tragically when my sister thought she would feed the fish using my acrylic cleaner...oh the memories of days gone by....

Not the orginal quoter but my idea was to have a indoor pool with half glass. Then in the basement you could view the pool/tank.

I've been plannin that set-up since I was 14. Need to build a house for it.
 
These are all so dang funny but I really cracked up when I read this one.

You talk on endlessly to your boss about the new featherduster you found at the back of the rock, the one with the recordias, in the middle, not that one but the ones with the orange ones at the bottom in the middle of the tank, right there see if you look close you can see just to top of it, I know it's a bad pix, but trust me it's there and it's got some purple on it, and it's really big, I don't know why I didn't see it before but it's really beautiful and I can't believe how big it is and I missed it, no right there see you can almost see it there, no that, that is the coraline algae, no right there see you can just make out the top of it ..... then .....

Cheers!

Heres a few of mine...

When your email has more "reply to post at RC" mail than SPAM...

When your family tells you 'We don't speak Japanese" when your talking about your tank...

When you go to Walmart and ask if they carry a bone cutter. The guy gets another guy and whispers he thinks you killed your husband. Then after many questions he says no we don't carry them... (yes that happened to me)

When you have big signs on your mailbox with the wrong address because fedex is coming and the address was wrong on the package. You drive to all the neighbors to make sure they did'nt get the package...or you chase down a fedex truck to get your package...

When your kid is'nt doing so well in school but can name every fish and coral in your tank...

You might be a reefneck.

If your spending $4,000.00 on a new 120 gallon Reef system INSTEAD of replacing your failing 20 year old A/C system....

BUT if you justify the newer, more powerful A/C system only because it might help to keep the Aquarium cooler...

If your 9 year old daughter goes to bed without finishing her homework because she needed help and you were too busy watching an eBay auction on a dual 250 watt Metal Halide and 2 110 VHO Combo retro lighting kit....
