The first thing you think about when looking at a new house is where the tank and plumbing goes..

You block out one day of your move just for the reef...

You run tests on the well water to see how it'll affect the RO/DI...

You left a little room for the TV in the family room next to the reef...

The first person you invite to the new house is a fellow reefer...

Your brother-in-law jokes about fishing in your reef every sunday at dinner...

You love the blank stare of the guy at the hardware store when you try to explain what your trying to plumb...

LOL.. I remember the first time I was looking for some bulkheads locally (small town) and when I was explaining to the guy I was gonna cut holes in my aquarium he says " Well aint it suppose to hold water " ... I almost died laughing the expression on his face was classic.
 
if you bring home your 90gal tank from storage after 2 years and say i think i should go a little bigger than go out and buy a 260gal tank.
