Hello everyone. My name is Kien/Kein/Keen/Kean/Keener, and I (may) have a problem.

I got my start about 4 years ago. At first it was just a little frag that I got off of a local reefer. I didn't think that it would amount to much since I didn't really know what I was doing. Well, that little frag started to grow, both literally and figuratively. After the first frag started to thrive I got more curious and branched out (see what I did there?). Then it was two frags, then three. Next thing I knew I was bringing home colonies. Then I discovered high end "designer corals". I was placing special orders. I was camping out in front of LFS before the doors opened and hung out at LFS at 3am while they unboxed their shipments. I don't even want to get into those cute little acro crabs at the moment..

I hit live rock bottom when I realized that I was spending more time and money on/with my acros than with my own kids. I needed an intervention. I tried to quit (twice), but after my tank recovered from the crash(es) I relapsed pretty much immediately and put high end acros back into my tank.

Thanks for listening.

You know your addiction is bad when you do it for a living!

Well, that's kinda harsh. Obviously mistakes will be made when thinking about acros while writing a revealing post.

I just wish this was for real, as my addiction has reached a new level. I've asked my wifes mother to pump my reactor, I've hoarded salt and willingly compromised the earth for better acro growth and coloration.

Haha. Too funny

My wife asked me to sit in for a couple meetings. I personally don't think I have a prob....marine aquaria has a Fiji order in on Thursday. So I'll just hang and enjoy some coffee and popcorn.

Ooh can we trade frags

And apparently I can't even do that right.

This isn't a club. It's a support group, as in we need to support our addiction. Wait, is that right? Frak, hang on..
