You know you're addicted to reefing when...

...you look for a clear section in your new purse to put your LFS opening times card!

(can't believe I actually did this today!)


Please feel free to add your own lol

When your significant other complains you spend too much money on your tank. Then you start to pay half cash and half credit card so things dont seem that expensive!!

when your tank is worth more then anythign you own..

until yourcar breaks down completely because you neglected to repair it so you could afford to upgrade your tank then your forced to buy a another car that is used so you can continue to over spend on you reef tank that will eventually be worth more then the new car.. its a terrible cycle

When youve spent that much money you no longer have a car to get to the LFS in.

When I look at where I spent my time at work, and more time could be charged to Reef Central than any other client that I worked on that day.

when you take a moment to look at your tank before bed and the next thing you know, its 3 am....

when you take a moment to look at your tank before work and the next thing you know, you 3 hours late...

when you somehow manage to get your laptop into the bathroom with you so you can read RC while doing your thing...

Do you use the left nostril method or the right one?

I've noticed the left is faster, but the right is more accurate. I still can't figure out how to mod my sinuses to detect copper.

When your daughter tells on her older brother for spraying Windex in her face and the first thing you ask is..."

Were you close to the fish tank when it happened?"

i use which ever nostril isn't sore, you have to taste for copper, kind of like wine tasting

...you acquire a 30g to use as a temp tank during a substrate change and are already wondering how much live rock it will need!
