You might be a reefneck

If you have small children and the only cabinet with child safety locks is the one to your aquarium stand . . . . .

If the wattage of the lights illuminating your 6 sq. ft. aquarium exceeds that of your entire ## hundred sq. ft house . . . . . .

If you wouldn't dream of putting tap water in your tank but have no problem watching your kids drink it . . . . .

If you had to move your TV because the glare from your tank disrupted the picture . . . . .

If when the light timer on your tank trips off the rest of the lights in your house get brighter . . . .

If your family puts on sunglasses when they come INTO the house . . . .
 
If youââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ve ever calculated the cost of piping salt water from the ocean into you home.


...you might be a reefneck.
 
If you spend more time interviewing the person that is going to feed your tank while you're on vacation than you spend on your babysitter...

you might just be a reefneck.
 
If most of your work vacation time conists of waiting for Fed-Ex to arrive with shipments of live rock, fish and corals.

If horrible smelling skimmate puts you in a good mood.

If you've been accused of having an affair with your fish tank.

If you've given up golf to have more funds available for reef stuff.

If your reading of choice in the john is an aquarium equipment magazine.


you might be a reefneck
 
Oi!

If there is more frozen fish food in the frig than for you .....

If you use the Actinics on your tank as your alarm clock in the morning then .....

If you sold your motorcycle for a new system then ....

If you go to the store for 6 bottles of viniger, 6 bottles of bleach and 20 gal of distilled water and try to go through the 6 items or less because you have only 3 then .......

You found a new way of getting the snow off of your walk and getting rid of the used saltwater at the same time then ...

You buy 'munchies' for the neet plastic container they come in and throw away the 'munchies', then ....

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!

If you cancel a date because you have to clean your skimmer and do a water change

If your living room look like a very expencive LFS

If you can't sleep with out the sound that your HOB filter does on you nano 2 feets away from your pillow.

If you change your V6 car for a more economic car so you can save more money on gas(of course the moeny is going to the "saving account")

The DNR shows up at your front door with a heat scan of your house that shows that you have high intensity lighting and they ask to see what these lights are for. What'er you growing in there boy?

LOL!:P
 
If staying up late and drinking beer with a friend while researching reef tanks instead of bar hopping, your might be a reefneck!

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 seriously consider moving to a bottom floor apt just because it would be able to handle the weight of a larger tank . . . .

and if you are in your 30s and ask your parents for money just to buy stuff for your tanks . . . .

and if you use your tax refund for your tank instead of wisely investing it!

Joe you nailed me on that one. I bought all sorts fo tools to build stuff for my tank. I think I spent $1000+ on the tools.

If your LFS ask you what they should order every week then you might be a reefneck.
