I think it is time to call it quits.

How do you know?

1. You put a clip of algae in the tank and it disappears, not just the algae but the clip and all. You look around and can't find it and the fish look at you like you just stole there best friend.

2. You put dawn in the sink and begin filling to wash the dishes and you wonder if one more layer of mesh could get your skimmer producing like that.

3. You see a tree and can't help but equate it to a kenya tree.

4. Flowers make you wonder if you can find a zoo that has that coloration.

5. Driving down 44 and you come to where the road is cut out and wonder if that rock could grow some good coraline on it.

6. You close your web browser, after surfing RC, to go to bed and open it up again because you forgot to check the Selling Forum one last time, and end up staying up half the night.

7. Spend half the day looking for the fish that want show itself unless you are not around. Everyone in the family has seen it but you since it was acclimated.

8. Spend your weekend going to the LFS's seeing if they have anything new.

9. How can I buy just one more coral without my wife knowing how much it cost, and what to explain to her how it got in the tank when she see's it. "Oh that thing, that fell behind a rock, I was amazed it was still alive and put it there this morning, looks good dosent' it."

If anyone can think of something else feel free to add, but going off a Hobbes Idea, Right now I feel like I need a Reef Central Anonymous forum to break the habit a good 10 step program or something.

Whats next a nightmare of me being acclimated to the tank and waiting for some one to feed me.

I've caught myself looking at trees and shrubs in the fall and thinking of corals.

LOL... Great thread... here is one for the single people (buddies gave me crap about this last night)

Your watching a movie with your friends and a good looking girl walks by but you didn't notice because you were examining the tank in the background shot... (or you have to rewind because you completely miss what is happening in the story)

It's infiltrating my work too. I work in a medical field. You read notes where a patient comes in and is getting an IV of LR (lactated ringers) and I think Live Rock. Another patient comes in complaining of a HA (headache), and I'm wondering why they're here for their Hair Algae. They check to see if he has a good RR (respiratory rate) and I'm thinking Reef Ready tank. I'm having abbreviation crossover. I get it with license plates too.

you trade in any fish you don't really care about(or anything the LFS will take)just to get enough to get the new piece of coral they have.

Not to bring back an old topic but...

I saw a weird spider that looked alot like a crab crawl across my basement floor last night and the first thought that ran through my head was, I hope that thing doesn't eat my zoo's
