a reef tank is like a girlfriend
1) when you have one, you sometimes imagine how much easier life would be without one.
2) when you don't have one (and sometimes when you do have one!), you fantasize about "the perfect one".
3) when thinking about the perfect one, you remember how much they cost.
4) selling everything feels like breaking up

and finally...

5) people who try and keep more than one are just asking for trouble!

A reef tank is like a girlfriend:
because they'll both make you late for work.

Hahahaha yeah I am busy tearing (divorcing??) town my 125g tank - I just cannot run 3 tanks. One reef, one Predator is more than enough to keep me busy.

reef tanks are like boyfriends/husbands...

if you don't tend to every detail they look bad, smell bad and no one wants to be around them.

A tank is like a girlfriend because the longer you have it, the more it fills in.

A reef tank is like a girlfriend coz you don't know how much trouble you're in until you get one.

A reef tank is like a girlfriend coz you'll miss it when you're away.

A reef tank is like a girlfriend coz they are both high maintenance.

A reef tank is like a girlfriend coz at some point, they both smell the same.
