You Know You Are A Reefer When???

[Cadwalader]

Just a fun idea I had to see when people really realized they had an addiction.

You Know You Are A Reefer When???

You buy the rest of your furniture to match the stand of your tank.

You know you're a reefer when???

Your wife open your credit card bill and busts you for spending $481 at the LFS and you tell her that Blue Sierra is an adult book store.

You know you're a reefer when...you realize you have emotional feelings about your reef.
You know you're a reefer when...You kind of like the smell of skimmate.
You know you're a reefer when...You stop buying beer and other "attitude adjustments" so you can buy tank goodies.
You know you're a reefer when...You would much rather stare deeply into your reef than the TV.

You know youre a reefer when.... you decide on your new house simply because its the only one with a wall long enough to put that new Big tank on...

You skip doctors visits so you can buy a new coral you have had your eye on.Then lie to spouse and say you went and your in perfect health.Usually the illness is made up anyway so you can hide the cash...

[cboberg]

You know you're a reefer when you get in an argument with friends about whether or not rocks can be live.

...Whenever you see any word outside of your house, whether it be on a truck, billboard, or other place, and you instantly think of the tank related item that the word is exactly like.

An example: I once saw "Dart" on a truck and instantly thought about the pump...don't know why but its one occasion that its happened

[Musho3210]

you know you are addicted when you go to a pharmacy and look at supplements to see if they work in your tank.

[xtm]

.... when you have a MarineDepot catalog in the restroom

..... when you stay up late at 2AM just so you can use the Search Function on RC.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[magdelan]

You know you're a reefer when you see a spec on your living room wall and the first thing that comes to mind is, "I hope it's not a flatworm".

[Scissorhand]

Hah hah, this thread's been done a gadzillion times.

I know it's supposed to make you laugh, but it's hard to when each punch line you read is ... oh god ... SO TRUE!!!

Then I get so depressed cuz I know I have problems... then I need to go see my therapist again.

[dreaminmel]

You know you're an addicted reefer when your first venture on payday lands you at the LFS instead of the grocery store. You know you're beyond addicted if you come out of that store left with $5 for the week. Thank god for McD's dollar menu...

(Luckily I've learned to restrain myself since 2000 but I've been there... )

[thriceanangel]

When every plant reminds you of a coral. -"It's remarkable how much these oak trees resemble my large Kenya Tree!" Or "that cactus looks just like my green slimer!"

...You're a reefer when your food budget is $500 for the month, the fridge has been bare for 2 weeks, and you get weak from lack of blood sugar while setting up your new 120g tank with 60g sump.

...You're a reefer when your selection of PVC fittings is greater than that found at HD or Lowe's.

...The plastics isle at any store is a treasure trove of inspiration.
