Reef tank friends?

[RJKain-777]

Any one else have a hard time making friends with people who share the same addiction?

Seems when ever I talk about anything fish tank related, people just roll there eyes at me

All the time there isn’t many reefers in my area

 

[CookieRdReef]

Yes agreed. Unless you have a reef you might as well be speaking another language :) When I talk about my tank usually friends or coworkers mention some episode of Fish Tank Kings or Tanked the saw one time lol.

 

[CookieRdReef]

Lots of love on here though :)

Join a local club and you will quickly accomplish this. I have MANY friends in the industry (former pet store owner)

That’s the downfall to my area, my local club isn’t the friendliest, unless your buying there corals and used equipment lol

The first step is just talking to people. Don't make the mistake of limiting your social circle to coworker idiots hehe
