You might be a reefneck if.....

Your wife asks you to stop by the store on the way home from work to buy salt and you bring home a 5 gallon bucket.

The police have ever come by to investigate that "bright blue glow" coming from your windows.

If you wonder why people give you strange looks when you tell them, "I'am totally into reefing" or "I love the colors from my LPS" (people might think you mean LSD) and maybe "I need more bulbs for my grow-out tank." You might be a ReefNeck.

if you ever thought about making a swimming pool into a giant tank, you might be a reef neck.

If when visiting your grandmother in the hospital you are more interested in stealing an IV drip line to use for your auto top off.
... when visiting your great aunt in the nursing home, you critique the saltwater setups they have, and pry open the cabinet to look at their equipment.

If you wander around Wal Mart, Lowes or Home Depot aimlessly trying to find cheap doo dads and parts that just may work in place of that hi dollar item from the fish store...

You just might be a reefneck.

...if your parents gave you a choice between a large reef and a car, and you chose to set up the reef.

If you've ever gone into a hardware store asking for something and when asked what you wanted it for you found it was easier to say you were trying to grow pot than to tell them the truth.......you might be a reefneck

You may be a reefneck if....

Your LFS stops going to the coral wholesaler and just comes to your house..

You sit up late at night eyeballing your neighbors power line...

You consider moveing from your 3 bed 3 bath townhouse with full ocean view to a giant warehouse... just cuz you could have "all those tanks"

When building a new house 99% of the house design goes to the tank and fish room...

You cry when you eat sushi...

You carry around a bottle of vinager in your car to see if those rocks are CA based...

The words "nemo" and "dori' are considered worse than the "F" word....

You can honestly tell the people at the LFS that your skimmer is bigger than theris...
