If your license plate displays "Reefer", you might be a reefneck.

You spend more on your tank a month than your rent or mortgage paymet

While at work you spend more time on RC than working

Each Payday brings a trip to the LFS and at least $100 in merchandise/Livetock

You've ever spent over $100 on salt.

If you have more and better equipment than a professional chemistry lab...

If you have been asked (true story) to lecture on corals in your biology class...

If you talk about your tank so much that even your non-reef friends can identify corals by scientific name...

If you have gone through biology textbooks with a pen to make corrections in the marine sections...

If you're proud of the sight and smell of your skimmate....

If you think the next fear factor should include contests like drinking a tall glass of skimmate or having to put epoxy in your nose and smell it for 10 minutes, man that stuff stinks.

If you've got an aquarium out in the yard up on blocks...

If your childrens' kiddie pool starts to look like a good refugium...

If your power goes out in the middle of winter, and you're firin' up the generator to power the 300 watt heater in your sump instead of the furnace...

...you might be a reefneck.

If you have ever told the guy in front of you at a high school basketball ball game what the specific Kelvin color of the overhead lights are, you might be a reefneck.

That's me right now. My 2, 400 watt Halides with 2 55 watt power compacts are on a seperate breaker than the rest of my tank, but I still can't sweep the living room without causing the breaker to switch off. Ahh, I must be a reefneck.

If, before doing anything else, you ever first look for aquarium stores in the yellow pages when you arrive at your hotel, you might be a reefneck.

If you suddenly brake in the middle of the road throwing your wife into the windshield because you thought you saw the glow of actinics in the house you just passed, you might be a reefneck.

If your wife has to get into your tank with a mermaid costume on before you will have sex with her, you might be a reefneck.

If one of your bathrooms has morphed into a fishroom that just "happens" to have a toilet and mirror.

If you watch a Tums commercial and wonder if it would increase the calcium in your tank also.
