So this is what they think us reefers do? Is it accurate?

Do non hobbyists think you're crazy for keeping a reef in your house?

Most people have a drawer full of old phone chargers, av rcas and such... we have not a drawer but at least one big box of hobbie related "someday i might need it" stuff....

I think you move from Hobbiyst to Obsessed when you setup a full scale fish room. And then obsessed has it's own spectrum

Whenever I talk to people about my tank at work they think it’s some nerd stuff. They give me a weird look. Especially when I say I have over 200 gallons of water. But now I’m upgrading to 300 gallons even better!!!

I've definitely driven by my own house at night when the tank lights are lit up and the curtains are letting the glow out, and was like "this guy is definitely growing weed" lol

@sfin52, @krbshappy71,, @C. Eymann, @Katrina71, @Louie00067, wow, a lot more people into both terrestrial invertebrates and reefing than I thought! This may call for a devoted thread in the Lounge Sub-Forum...

Thanks,

I think you and I are both on Arachnoboards; I was on there earlier today. If anyone else is, I use the same username everywhere on the web, pretty much. :)
We have a pet room for the critters and the grow lights for the plants are on a timer. I promise they are all legal plants, though! I think it really looked odd/suspicious when the critters were in the basement with the grow lights.

Yes we are. I see you around often. I wonder if the others are also on there.

My windows also glow a purple-blue from the tank and plants (legal terrarium and carnivorous plants to be sure :D) in my room. I always wonder what the neighbors think...

Thanks,
