you might be a reefneck

if you tell your wife to go ahead and buy that purse and shoes
if your lfs asks you for advice

if your not an elecrician but can wire a mh lamp in 10 min

if you park your car outside and have a garadge (due to sumps etc...)

if your dream is to open a lfs (lol.)

It's getting scary how many of these are just making me nod, "Yup.".

If you have a light go out over your tank and you run out to replace it and get a ticket on the way back for the headlight on your car being out .......and the car light has been out for over a month and you knew..




You might be a reefneck.....

You only need one light to drive right, lol...


ps...I still haven't replaced the headlight....

You might be a reefneck...

if you have a diesel engine in the backyard powering a seawater pump and generator for your den aquarium.

BTW, true story, my uncle's den was an aquarium.

You might be a ReefNeck if...

Your trailer leans to the side 'cuase of your 120...

All your buddies quit goin to the c0ck fights cuase they'd rather bet on your grouper during it's weekly match versus a junkyard rat.

Your Christmas tree ornaments are Acro frag skeletons...

Your tank is on coasters so you can roll it around to the window that is getting direct sun...

You take the wife to the "Redneck Riveara" just so you can go livestock collecting

Instead of modding your 4X4 you mod your skilter...

All your friends are jealous of your IO bucket dining room set...

Your girlfriends new pet name is "fuzzy clam"...


Cheers,

grimmjohn

 

[reef & potito]

If you tear out the two page photo spread from Coral Magazine and hang it up proudly like a Pin-up, you might be a reef-neck.

Thanks, he's my first saltwater fish. I used Macromedia Fireworks to crop the picture and add the black and white border.

you might be a reefneck if....

coming home to relax is sitting down grabbing a beer and watching your tank

if you make your roommate learn about the tank and know all the name of everything in it so if your not there and something goes wrong she can tell you exactly what it is

when you stay at the mandaly bay in Vegas and instead of gambling till the early morning you go to the room and watch their reef (which is awesome) and fall asleep to it

all the rest of me has already been said
