You are a reefneck if you've read this whole thread and did'nt laugh once! T

1) If your papercuts burn like hell from testing your SG.
2) If your hubby says, "yeah hon those are cool rocks".
3) If you have spent more time on this forum than at work.
4) If you have carpal tunnel because of #3.
5) If the last thing you think of, before you doze off, is " I wonder how hard it will be to drill that tank for a bulk head"? Or various thoughts of REEFING!

you might be a reefneck...

if you care more about ur fishs' health than your own

if you get excited when you get a 55 gal poly drum for storage(just did!)

if you "hospitalize" a fish even for the slighest spot,when you wont go to the doctors if ur bleeding out!!

 

[awestruck]

You might be a reefgeek when...

1. You are trick-or-treating with your child and see glowing lights coming from a house and ask the person if you can come in for "just a minute" to see the tank.

2. Your 11 year old asks if he can close the windows because it's only 18 degrees outside and you say, "No honey, not yet, just go put on your coat".

3. You wrap the guinea pig in a warm blanket because it is only 18 degrees outside and the windows are open.

4. Your son makes RC the home page.

5. When you're pouring a glass of milk and remind yourself to check your tank's calcium level.

If you bought a house with a 10" concret floor in the livingroom, dinningroom, and kitchen just to have tanks where everyone can see them....
you might be a reefneck...
(that's my house)

 

[Lion_Babe]

You might be a reefneck if you....
Are more worried about getting the zoos out of the bag and into the tank so they don't die, then you are about your hand going numb and feeling like it is on fire.

"6. if you have ever corrected a david attenbourgh documentory..."

Classic!!!

1. If your husband likes to watch you clean the tank because it's so deep that you have to take your shirt off and do it topless...and you don't care if the neighbors see you through the window, because your prize frag just crashed to the sandbed and you can waste no time getting it back where it belongs

2. If you've ever had a nasty rash from your anemone stinging you and you think it's cool

3. If people that you work with know the quickest way to start a conversation with you is to ask, "How is your blue fish doing?", but then they look like a deer in headlights when you start rambling about water chemistry, your hydroids, palytoxins, and the mysterious worms that you've been seeing....

You might be a reefneck.

You might be a reefneck if...

You have secretly changed out all the bulbs in the house to fluorescent so your wife won't pick up on the additional 300 watts you just added to the electrical bill.

Your at the LFS so much the fish recognize you.
Your LFS calls you to help them out when they are busy.
Your 2 year old knows more coral and fish names than most adults.
Your 2 year old can pronounce the names of the corals.

You have a generator for your tank and not one for your house!

 

[israelnajar]

Your wife is in labor and you stop by the LFS on your way to the hospital because it isn't too far out of the way and they just got in a new shipment...besides she had a long labor last time!
