You may be a reefneck if....

Your LFS stops going to the coral wholesaler and just comes to your house..

You sit up late at night eyeballing your neighbors power line...

You consider moveing from your 3 bed 3 bath townhouse with full ocean view to a giant warehouse... just cuz you could have "all those tanks"

When building a new house 99% of the house design goes to the tank and fish room...

You cry when you eat sushi...

You carry around a bottle of vinager in your car to see if those rocks are CA based...

The words "nemo" and "dori' are considered worse than the "F" word.... :(

You can honestly tell the people at the LFS that your skimmer is bigger than theris...
 
ok another one


when your suction clip( for what ever) will not stay put and it drives you crazy to the point where you watch it and replace it in its right! spot constantly and finally (after much crazy behavior) go out and replace it...
you might be a reefneck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
 
You spend more on your tank a month than your rent or mortgage paymet

While at work you spend more time on RC than working

Each Payday brings a trip to the LFS and at least $100 in merchandise/Livetock
 
If you have more and better equipment than a professional chemistry lab...

If you have been asked (true story) to lecture on corals in your biology class...

If you talk about your tank so much that even your non-reef friends can identify corals by scientific name...

If you have gone through biology textbooks with a pen to make corrections in the marine sections...
 
You might be a reefneck if....

you bake bakeing soda..

As you drive down the road you wonder the kelvin rateing of the headlights comming at you..

your washing machine runs off of RO/DI waste water.....

you get excited by valves..
 
If you think the next fear factor should include contests like drinking a tall glass of skimmate or having to put epoxy in your nose and smell it for 10 minutes, man that stuff stinks.
