...you carry around more photos of your tank and corals than your kids.

Or when you take pictures of your Grand Kids, your tank is always accidently in it.

You might be a reefer if the police have showed up, because you have "grow lights" going all day in your living room. -- True story.

Had to explain to the po po that grow lights are red, and fish lights are blue. They did enjoy looking at the tank, and now I know my local police much better.

if someone gets mad when another person doesn't handle their bacteria accordingly, or slights a claimed metabolic process in another person's bacteria you're definitely an online reefer


if twenty year virtual friendships are destroyed by what bacteria are or are not claimed doing in someone else's tank, you have been an online reefer a very very long time.

You might be a reefer if your sleeves are wet with saltwater at 7 am cuz you just had to adjust the powerhead a tad before work

You might be a reefer if you have dedicated sections in your freezer and fridge for fish and coral foods... and a legitimate fear that one day an unfortunate family member will mistake your liquid ArctiPods for sweet and sour sauce...
(You also might be a reefer if your fish have more variety in their diet than you do).

You might be a reefer if you fish tank cost more than your car you might be a reefer

... if you have more buckets than colonel Sanders
...if you stop at fish stores just to feel the humiditu
...if you are asked to explain "live rock" and "making water"'on a regular basis

When you live in Los Angeles AND work at a movie studio and your friends ask you “What celebrities have you met?” And you reply with great enthusiasm:

Ryan Batcheller and Jason Fox

You might be a reefer if part of your travels to any foreign country/city includes checking out the LFS to see the coral/fish selection and to compare prices to what you pay at home.

You might be a reefer when your wife answers a compliment you’ve just directed to your favorite fish!!!

I caught myself checking in on my tank last weekend while I was at my kids cheerleading event. Is it totally normal to have a webcam on your tank to have 24 hour viewing? Most people probably think it’s overkill but hey…it’s my tank, my hobby, my addiction, and my money. So yeah I’m a reefer and totally addicted to anything that I can get my hands on about the hobby. But how do you know you’re a reefer? Let’s talk about it…

You have way too much water and way too much electricity in the same space
