If, when traveling to Hawaii for the first time, you convince your Grandfather to go to just 1 fish store so you can not only buy fish, but carry them on the plane and send them through the Xray machine (yup....hey...i was 15) you might be a reefneck

BTW the fish survived for a few years and died tragically when my sister thought she would feed the fish using my acrylic cleaner...oh the memories of days gone by....

I've been plannin that set-up since I was 14. Need to build a house for it.

Heres a few of mine...

When your email has more "reply to post at RC" mail than SPAM...

When your family tells you 'We don't speak Japanese" when your talking about your tank...

When you go to Walmart and ask if they carry a bone cutter. The guy gets another guy and whispers he thinks you killed your husband. Then after many questions he says no we don't carry them... (yes that happened to me)

When you have big signs on your mailbox with the wrong address because fedex is coming and the address was wrong on the package. You drive to all the neighbors to make sure they did'nt get the package...or you chase down a fedex truck to get your package...

When your kid is'nt doing so well in school but can name every fish and coral in your tank...

You might be a reefneck.

When the local power company is replacing your ground wire and can only do so if you are called prior to shutdown.

Loralie · #**432** 08/31/2005, 04:29 PM

If the power in your neighborhood goes out and your generator can be heard for a couple of blocks and you still have no TV or lights on because that might pull power from the tanks

astronaut · #**433** 08/31/2005, 04:31 PM

i saw this on a you might be a redneck daily calendar i have, and i think it also suits for reefnecks too.

If you don't go anywhere without a siphon hose...
you might be a reefneck.

If your spending $4,000.00 on a new 120 gallon Reef system INSTEAD of replacing your failing 20 year old A/C system....

you might be a reefneck.

Sindjin · #**435** 08/31/2005, 04:34 PM

BUT if you justify the newer, more powerful A/C system only because it might help to keep the Aquarium cooler...

you might be a reefneck.

Sindjin · #**436** 08/31/2005, 04:38 PM

If your 9 year old daughter goes to bed without finishing her homework because she needed help and you were too busy watching an eBay auction on a dual 250 watt Metal Halide and 2 110 VHO Combo retro lighting kit....

You might be a reefneck if
1. You refer to reciepts as evidence.
2. If you have a fuge that is used as fishy tim-out
3. If you have ever spent more than $5000 setting up a tank for one little fishy.
4. If you refuse to spend $5.00 to wash your car, but you spend $30 a day for someone to reefsit your tank.
5. YOur kids build a full scale igloo out of your foam shipping boxes.
6. you spend 3 days with a fishing pole trying to catch the evil lunar wrasse from your sps tank.
7. if the people in your office ask the fex man if the delivery is LIVE
8. you can't pump gas but can coordinate the timing for the lights on 3 reef systems without a thought.
9. When you have 200lbs of live rock in your 110 gallon fu"just in case"
10. When you erase the cookies on your computer so your spouse won't know how many coral sites you bought from this month.

If you have ever sent your teenage child to IMAC, MACNA, because you counldn't get time off.

Sindjin · #**439** 08/31/2005, 04:55 PM

Sindjin · #**441** 08/31/2005, 05:02 PM

If you look at the monthly statement from your 9 year daughters college fund and think "Damn... I could build that 180"...

j0tca · #**444** 08/31/2005, 06:12 PM

If, after major flood damage to the apartment below you, you were faced with a choice of removing your reef or litigation and you called your lawyer....

(P.S. they backed off...)

herbert4 · #**445** 09/01/2005, 01:23 AM

If you ever built you house/addition around plans for a tank!
You might be a reef-neck.

Sindjin · #**446** 09/01/2005, 07:03 PM

If you come running in panic out of the bathroom because all of a sudden you heard lots of water running, only to realize it was your Aquarium screen saver on full volume.....

you might be a reefneck.

Sindjin · #**447** 09/01/2005, 07:05 PM

If you put blinking lights around the canopy of your tank and your wife says, "No, I said Christmas WREATH"....

you might be a reefneck.
