TonyInVa February 17, 2010 Share February 17, 2010 When you arrive home from the LFS you hide that new coral under your jacket and go directly to the sump before the significant other catches you. Once at Roozens I bought a $200 item. Before leaving the cash register I took their sharpie and added a zero and a decimal to the plastic bag to make it $20.00 so I wouldn't be in the dog house when I got home. I will have to remember this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctenophore February 17, 2010 Share February 17, 2010 (edited) When you can no longer park in your two car garage because it is now a sump room for your new greenhouse coral propagation system. I think you all know who I'm talking about. We've been parking one car in there ever since December snow I'll have you know! I stayed up till 3am feeding my breeding black Os some fresh shrimp one night after a dinner of leftover hot dogs.

Jan February 17, 2010 Share February 17, 2010 When you take a day trip or a weekend trip with the family and before you leave the house you make sure you take the fish/coral cooler, an airstone and extra baggies just in case you end up buying a coral or a fish along the way. When you're in New York visiting with your family and you use their computer to check out CL in their area to see what corals you can p/u on the way back home. When you pick your kid up from school and she says "Mom, are we going straight home today or are we picking something up for your tank, again".

Stu February 17, 2010 Share February 17, 2010 When you travel to Key Largo with friends and you spend your free time collecting hermits, snails, and brittle stars with a mask and snorkel instead of drinking margaritas by the pool with your friends.

Jon Lazar February 17, 2010 Share February 17, 2010 ...before you leave the house you make sure you take the fish/coral cooler, an airstone and extra baggies just in case you end up buying a coral or a fish along the way. I don't ever have to remember to pack those items because there's always a reefing cooler and accessories in my trunk "just in case." I'm not addicted though because I can stop whenever I want. I just don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm February 19, 2010 Share February 19, 2010 (edited) How about when your SO explains to the neighbors that the generator you bought in case of a power outage is not for keeping the frig running, making dinner, or heating up the kids or your own bedroom, but rather for your fish tank.

bshriver February 19, 2010 Share February 19, 2010 (edited) I think spending the time to read this entire thread is the first indication (check). And what does it mean if you can relate to almost every post on it? I'll be putting a sharpie in my glove compartment today Edited February 19, 2010 by bshriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
