You might be a reefer if you jump out of bed at 3am to check on your fish after having a dream that one died. Yep, I’m just a little bit attached lol

What a fun thread...... can the lot of you who would like to talk about the drug war, personal liberty, and police brutality, talk somewhere else beside a thread where people just wanna make corny foxyworthy jokes.

I have opinions on police and personal liberty, but this is a reefing forum! Not a place to share your grand views on the subject of policing. Insults on where a person comes from also majorly inappropriate!

We are a group of people of differing creeds, religions, politics, nationalities, and colors, but bound by a common cause, the love of our "Wet Pets". And even if you disagree, literally everyone that has responded to these threads has come at it snarkly and severely lacking in any grace whatsoever.

You guys have no clue on how to respond or talk about issues in a kindly or effective way, and until you can learn to do that, please find another home to be gloomy and angry while we laugh and joke.

also the Texas comment was incredibly rude, not sure why the mods didn't take that down.

Please everyone take a collective chill pill, and have some fun, this is coming from a fricking 18 yo, who's generation perfected being rude to people online

BRAVO!!!

srsly same thing happened to me! Dreamed I saw a bobbit worm and ate my little clown! Ran downstairs at 6 and she was still swimming. slept on the couch by the tank the rest of the night.

Wise words, even at 18 you are more mature than I can be at times.

You might be a reefer if...

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

100% true for me. Monthly updates of every coral to compare growth and health.

Thanks man, I think sometimes we all can get carried away when talking on the internet, it's so easy to suddenly start saying things that are totally not indicative of our true personality, I know I have!
I've had experience with saying things online that I thought of as jokes, but did personally hurt someone, and I had no clue.
We just need to recognize what we did that was wrong, what didn't show our character and move forward. And get right back into the fun of talking with people who share your crazy passion for keeping aquariums.

The office moans about taking delivery of a box full of rocks.

Just happened

 

[WirelessMike]

If you have a bunch of buckets that are dirty and if not all have dirty sand in them lol.

Facts!!!

 

[HudsonReefer2.0]

You open the freezer and see almost all the food labeled as “Not Edible for Human Consumption”.

 

[olonmv]

….you talk nutrient export with people who obviously don’t care about nutrient export.

 

[Sink_or_Swim]

... you stay up late watching your new corals settle in (with a glass of wine of course - it's 5 o'clock somewhere!)

 

[jmichaelh7]

Your considering driving 6 hours for a coral

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).

Agree i got another fridge just for reef and fish food. For me water and energy drinks.

We have a Ring Camera In the living room that covers the living room, dining room, common areas and the hallway, Wife has it for our 2 dogs so she can watch them during the day while at work, I have it so I can see reef tank all day while at work!!

hmm wine? not so sure, thats kinda gross. But a glass of scotch, now thats how you properly welcome a new coral!

I'm not a scotch fan, but I will admit, I wasn't a fan of the white wine I chose either, lol! Should have opened the fancy red I got for Christmas.

Obviously you should have consulted the reef horde for your evening beverage!
