Corals Anonymous!

Ok guys it has completely taken over my life, and i do meen completely! My fiancee thinks i am crazy lol, but i know im not the only one out there that thinks about corals all day long. I catch my self relating corals or the reef hobby to everything i do on a daily basis, to the point were normal comparisons dont register in my brain anymore! Like for instance you say Halloween some peolpe think trick or treat, i think man i love the JFox jack-o-lantern lepto lol. Another thing is we are going on vacation in october to Myrtle Beach, she thinks its because i like myrtle beach, but really its because i want to pick up another crazy wellso from Sea Critters Depot and see what else he has. Today sorta made her question my sanity because i got my new refractometer in and decided before i put up my old one, i was sorta curious about checking salinty on our beverages in the fridge, needless to say i got alot of bad looks and alot of shaking of the head :tsk: lol. Oh yea gatorade i believe is made of pure salt lol. But i guess i was just wondering if its just me or do we all get wrapped up in it from time to time.

I think about my tank every second of the day, my wife thinks I am out of control, and I am, but it is so much fun. I have also tested the salinity of various liguids with my old swing arm, when I bought a refractometer. I thought I was the only one. I use my gaming chair and sit in front of the tank like it's the TV for hours, good time for sure.

It's crazy how it gets. I got a new job out in San Francisco. All my buddies were going crazy about the weather, but I was like "I'm moving closer to the action" and "Man, I'm probably not going to need a heater or chiller all year"

I think it's somewhat inherent to the personality type of people who successfully keep marine aquaria long term. There's a certain obsessiveness about it, partly because there's always something to tinker with in these tanks.

[Rikerbear]

I spend a great deal of free time looking at corals, reading about corals, checking out forums, researching future dream tanks, and generally drooling over everyone else's tank
I did get my husband to rearrange the family room so that I can now sit in my recliner and see my tanks better.....if I sit just right I can see the TV with my left eye and my tanks with my right LOL

 

[navila06]
