You might be a reefneck:

1. if you are too concern of ph values
2. if you take pictures on your corals more than your kids.
3. if you ask Emerill lagase what's the best method to make fish food.
4. if you log on here on RC daily.
5. if you have a screen saver of your tank.
6. if you hide your check book from your wife so she would not find out all your bills from your LFS.
7. when you beg for live brine shrimp
8. if you spend so much $$$ on PVC's
9. when you are to "anal" about your rock structures.
10. last but not the least, when you can't take a vacation because you don't trust anyone to take care of your tank or tanks.

When your wife's water broke on all 3 of your chidren while you were staring into space at the new shipment of zoas at the LFS........

When your wife insists your daughters aren't allowed to date any boys even remotely interested in fish.......

When your kids bribe you into buying them slurpees so they won't tell their mom about the numerous LFS you went to while she was working......

If one of the reasons you bought your home was the in-wall set up in the basement.
