Is this a cult?

Arricefe · Sep 11, 2020

What happened to me? For years I had a 50 gallon aquarium with some rock and some pretty fish that I fed once a day and I was happy. Then a “friend” gave me something he called a “softy”. Fast forward a few years now I have a big butt tank with all these “named” coral that I’m obsessed with. Underneath the tank there is so much stuff it must rival the equipment in early submarines. I have a cabinet full of chemicals and gadgets it looks like a pharmacy. The doors to the cabinets have a bunch of “reefing related” stickers, I find myself needing to create a logo so I can have my own stickers made. Did I get trapped in a cult?

It is not a cult. It is an addiction.

No Kool-Aid unless we are talking about Kessil ;)

We dont get together and chant reefing slogans once a week.
We hide the boxes stuff came in the mail in so the wife doesn't see them in the trash bin.

Isn't a group that excitedly posts stuff daily about the same interest and replies in equal excitement almost like a group that chants? LOL It's very calming to say the least. I think it's getting close to being a cult. Haha

It’s more a way of life than a cult IMO lol

It seems some of you don't know the secret handshake yet.

I cant say more.

Member fervently asks
"Ohm.... What is wrong with my tank?... Ohm" Ting (sound of finger cymbal clinking)

Member community fervently replies
"Ohm... What are the parameters of your tank?...Ohm"
"Ohm... What is the temperature of your tank?... Ohm"
"Ohm... What are you feeding and how often?... Ohm" Ting

Yep... Sounds like a cult. Haha

Post a thread on the front page that you are going to put a mandarin in your 2.5 pico no matter what anyone says, and then you will really see the cult come out :)
