You know you're really into reefing if...and other conversations

When you plan a trip to Florida to visit Disneyland for the family but really you just want to see WWC.

We did this and also visited 9 other stores from Orlando to Tampa!

Wrong person. Divorced over 10 years and GF ( traded her for coral) . . . . well GF. . . . . let her go as she was spending my bill money on garbage and the drinking thing. I'll leave it at that

Well that was meant as a joke I didn't know about all that. Been there done that but I was dumb enough to do it again. My 1st cost me 105k in loss in 1yr my current father in law is my accountant ;Nailbiting

Ah yes the "my girlfriend ran off with an Amway salesman - I'm going to miss him" j/k Love that you traded her for coral, we know who got the better deal...lol

We spent our two days off together this week and drove from Green Bay to Madison and then Green Bay to Chicago to buy fish and corals! Spent way too much! Now we both have to go to work this weekend!

You know you're really into reefing if...
Your neighbors know who you are because you have the house with all them "bright blue lights".

Lol. That’s SO true. I live in a pretty remote place and I swear you can see my house from space!

Local police have visited me a couple of times also thinking I had a grow room - also seeing people leave with small bags.. nosy neighbors!

I’m in CO. It’s legal here
I think everyone believes I’m some kind of mad scientist.

Our neighbors called police too. Police came in and took a tour of our three tanks- 2x300gal and one 93 cube!

I didn't even think about the small bags lol

You go to the liquor store, in a blizzard, on New Years Eve to get some Vodka cause you don't have any to dose with.

My daughter in law was telling a story yesterday about her overhearing my grandson who's in 5th grade talking to a friend of his.. He was listening to him talking about his dad's aquariums and the fish he had when my grandson spoke up and said, "Well, my Grandpa has a SALTWATER tank!!"

My wife has stopped wondering if I'm chatting with a girlfriend...she knows I'm on R2R! Which she prefers to me being on the BRS website...that site can get expensive, those membership dues are really, really high.

 

[Daniel@R2R]

those membership dues are really, really high.

Haha! Love this!

 

[LA Reef Addict]

While driving home from work, you look at the mountains and think "that's a cool rockscape" lol

 

[Quietman]

The "Tang Police" no long strike you as busy-bodies self-righteously publicly shaming anyone posting pictures of juvenile tangs in small tanks but instead are now simply educating new aquarium hobbyists on the prevention of mistreatment of a beautiful species that needs abundant room to live happily.

You have thousands of dollars worth of "had to have" reef equipment in your garage.

I’m getting there. However I’m already past the betta keeping addiction of walking in ANY store and saying “I could totally keep a fish in there.” To the point if I don’t, family thinks something’s wrong lol. Now it’s “I wonder if that would fit over my filter sock as a silencer”

Extend your drain pipe to below water level.

Sure don't want to drink that stuff.

 

[Hijinks_78]

You constantly rationalize new things that you “need”. Is my life really complete without a a clown harem? How hard could nfs corals be, maybe I should give them a try? And many other thoughts that will cause me aggravation eventually...
