You might be a reefneck if:


10. You use your waterbed as your freshwater reservoir

9. You've got frags growing on your fingertips (and refuse to cut them)

8. You refer to your dream tank as a "doublewide"

7. You print out all of the TOTMs to make your own pinup calendar

6. You've prepared dinner fresh "from the tank"

5. You take the glass off your metal halides to get a tan

4. You use old tank water to take a rejuvenating salt bath

3. You save the waste water from your RO/DI for drinking water

2. You scrape off the salt creep on your tank and resell it on ebay as "Gourmet Sea Salt"

1. You skipped to the last page of this thread and read it first!
 
You might be a reefneck.........

If your lfs puts up a "Going out of Business Sale" sign in their window after you've been on vacation for more than a week....

If you have ever stuck your scuba mask on when noone was looking and put you face in your tank just because you had to know what your tank looked like underwater.......You might be a reefneck

Re: You might be a reefneck

You take the family to Red Lobster for dinner and you ask the waiter for a glass of their finest lobster tank water while whipping out your refractometer and pH meter.

True story. I did it tonight. The Maine lobster tank was 50F. After allowing the sample to warm to room temp it read SG 1.021 and the pH was 6.9 :D
 
I think that one takes the cake. Ive wondered about the parameters, but never actually brought reef paraphernalia to a restaurant!
 
OMG.. You fish freak....The lobsters are food not friends....lol


my wife would have slapped me..too. She already calls the tank my mistress...
 
You might be a reefneck if...

You purposely don't bring your wallet to the LFS so you can't make any more purchases...

And you end up driving back to the house to get your debit card to buy that ricordea yuma polyp.
 
You might be a cheap reefneck

You might be a cheap reefneck

if you are sitting in your car in the bank drive-through about to withdraw $400 for that skimmer you've been saving for and then you notice the tall clear acrylic vacuum tubes, so you quickly ask the bank teller to just withdraw enough money to buy a cheap hacksaw. :smokin:

You show your freshman English students pics of your reef tank and make them write a research paper about anything having to do with reefkeeping.

*guilty*
 
Actually, most of them said later that they enjoyed learning something new! That was right before final grades were issued though so they were probably sucking up. :lol:
 
Ok true story that happened to me today.

You might be a reefneck if you are out in public with your wife and she turns to you and tells you there is something on your shirt. You look down at an orange piece of "fuzz." You grab it off to notice its a bristle worm-still alive.

Yes I walked around all day with a 1/2 bw stuck to the sleeve of my shirt.

My wife already hates them so I used this opportunity to convince her that they can come out of the tank on their own.
