You might be a reefneck

If you turn on your air conditioner early in the season, not for the cooling of you, but the cooling of the tank! And then purchase a chiller not long after. I think im a reefneck.
 
You might be a reefneck

If you have joined a Reef Club. :D

If you imagine yourself in a tiny reef sub.

If you never log off of RC.

If you watch your tank more than your T.V.

If you can't do other chores because you don't time.

If you turn your Reef Post into a Reef Rhyme.


:jester:
 
OHOHOHO i wanna pet the eel what kind is it!!!??!!??


If you coider buying a small PC 50/50 bulb for your lamp ( screw in style with built in ballast you know the one) You may be a reefneck.

( BTW everyone at my job EVERY ONE DOES own a tank )

You may be a reefneck if there is a MH bulb some where with some of your skin stuck to it..( uhh oww .. grr darn old job at teh lfs)

you may be a reefneck if you are cutting apart walls for a tank and your still living out of boxes in your new house.. ( see mine at www.directphish.com/mytank.html ) ( i need to make a blocker so that people from RC cant access the main page ( main page is for my bussiness) and that way i wont be taking away from rc advertisers.. till then.. DONT VISIT THE MAIN PAGE I REFUSE TO SELL TO YOU!)
 
If you are constantly looking through the TV guide or your local digital cable guide to find a show on reefs or reefkeeping.......

Trying to convince my neibors to do it.. ( im dirt poor but everyone else is rich... we moved in early so... yeah) and im hoping they are lazy and hire me to take care of the tanks.. lets see.....
300 homes x 50 bucks each i can do like 10 a day hmmmm...

yup reefneck.. im addicted...

WWW.thepatchforreefers.com.fake is now selling a patch like the nicotine ones.. this patch contains salt and many trace elements.. so when you are away from your tank you can still be incontact with somthing reef. Creats salt creep where everyou go so you will feel right at home.... ( who else would think of that bsides a half asleep reefneck)
 
your talking on the phone and your wife walks by and hears you say....

"Ya, I got about 8 bags. its really fine grain stuff. I can sell you a bag for eight bucks".

Then you have to explain to her you are talking about sand and not drugs....

Goby
 
..... if you come home early on a perfectly nice do to make sure your power is still on. Just so you can get home early from work and look at your tank.

oh crap...now that puts things into perspective......I think I am a reefneck and I need to give this hobby up!:eek:
 
You have less than 2 hours in Barcelona airport and you use them to catch a cab and run out to see the giant public aquarium there. (its world class)

Your kids' science fair topics are things like "Clownfish reproduction". (Hey ... she got a ribbon).

And .... the neighborhood kids come to your house instead of the zoo............


You might be a reefneck.
 
You might be a reefneck

If your eletric bill wieghs more than your tank

If you traded your car for a few frags

If you have more tanks than I do
 
Late to this one, sorry if these are repeats...

You have 220 amps coming in, more than half of which powers your tanks.

You plan your vacation around your "tank-sitter".

You take calls at 10pm, while on your honeymoon, because the tank is "too quiet".

You have a friend who will drive the 60 miles to your house to see why. AND he answers the phone after 10pm on a weeknight.

You watch Blue Planet and go, "oh, yeah, I have those".

Your skin is pickled from all the lime and brine.

You see nothing wrong with using a cereal bowl to plunk pulled algae and slime into before throwing it out.

You have more rocks in your house than in your yard.

You don't need spotlights to circumnavigate your house, from the outside, after dark, as long as it's still viewing time.

People have said either of the following to you:
"This is like SeaWorld" "This is better than SeaWorld"

You get asked about Nemo roughly 40 or 50 times per day.

You're considering changing your last name to Cousteau.

You've named any of your children Pyle, Randall, or McCulloch.

You can't taste salt any longer.

You wonder how big a tank you'll need for that 8' Blacktip that just passed you while diving.

You routinely visit the gadget aisle of your local supermarket to see if there are any neato things you can use for the tank(s).

You know the chemical composition of all aquarium additives, and their civilian (cheaper) equivalents.

All GREAT ones, but these two got me the most! My husband just goes crazy when he sees me using bowls to pull junk out of the tank or thaw frozen fish food in. I've made sure he doesn't see me dumping skimmate down the sink. That would put him over the edge.

And the supermarket! Yes! That's how I discovered that those little dental toothpicks with prickles on the end for cleaning your gums are great to twist around hair algae and pull it out by the roots.

Thanks KDodds for a good laugh.
 
You might be a reefneck if:

You have more photos of you and your reef tank on your cellphone than you do of your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Then I'm probably a reefneck.
 
If you drive to the ocean to look and take in all its grandure and all you can think is man I hope somthing floats up I can put in my tank.......

You might be a reefneck...



WOW I though this thread was long gone...lol
