You know you are a reef head when you go camping and you bring a 5g bucket of salt water, power head and a heater with you; just in case you run in to another reef head.

[whatcaneyedo]

You know you're a reef head when you have to cancel your visit get up and go home early because your tank has been texting you all morning that something is WRONG!

[Lance]

You know you're a reef head when you walk into the room and your wife is naked from the waist up, on a step ladder, bent over the tank and all you think is: "Uh oh, What's the matter with the tank?"

I compiled a whole bunch a few years ago.. http://blog.fragd.it/2008/06/12/you-know-you-are-a-reefneck-when/

Here are some..
-If when visiting your grandmother in the hospital you are more interested in stealing an IV drip line to use for your auto top off.
-If you carry a picture of your reef tank in your wallet.
-The words “nemo” and “dori’ are considered worse than the “F” word.

You know you're a Reef Head when you can discuss clams without getting a slap in the face.

I can't believe it. I was in the hospital a few weeks back as my son had pnuemonia... And guess what, I actually was looking at the packs of tubing and thinking of scamming a few.

I GUESS I AM A REEF HEAD!

[lastlight]

Yeah when I spent some quality time at the Foothills I dreamed of borrowing one of their IV machines. In the end I did get a nice box of the purple nitrile gloves. I haven't used them in the tank yet but I think they would be safe...

[lastlight]

Oh and one of the first word combinations my daughter put together was bubble king. Not making that up! She went nuts when I'd open the stand up and scream "bubble king".

So add brain-washing your kids to the list.

[lockrookie]

i ponder.... would i be a reef head if i take time from my job to help the lfs with a coral tank cooling problem so that he can get in corals again, for me to oogle over and spend the money i didnt make because i was working on the lfs tank.

[reefwars]

[Trabby]

You know your a reef head when.... You talk about your "bad crab" problem and trapping solutions while standing in line at the store..

[Rbacchiega]

You know you're a reef head when you willingly cut back on your own grocery list to save up for that piece of coral or part that you really don't need, but your tank would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cooler with.

Chuck Reef Tank is in his beard as his reef. Unfortunately no one will ever get close enough to see it.

Hmmm, can't belive I'm gonna do this one:

You know you are a reef head when you slightly premature new son is born, and goes slightly jaundice, the nurse brings out the "tanning lights" that is about 75 X 5 watt 420nm (atinic blue) LED light fixture, and you get happy. Even worse when they won't let you go home due to the jaundice and you explain to the doctor about the amount of atinic light you have over your tank, and he agrees to let you go home on the promise that you'll leave your son laying out near the fish tank a lot....



No, I'm not kidding, and he still can't stop starting at the tank (1 year old now).

When you put 40Gal of water on your basment floor from a rookie mistake, ruin your pool table, chair, hutch and other things stored in the next room, oh and wall damage of course and the last thing on your mind is getting rid of the tanks that caused the problem in the first place.

[gobytron]

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

You know you're a reef-head when your new 220g blows and dumps over 100g on your carpets and you setup a replacement tank a couple of weeks later.

You know you're a reef-head when you buy the place you're renting mainly because you don't want to ever tear down and move your 210g reef tank.

You clean the kitchen sink for 5 minutes with really hot water and a cloth so when you clean your filter sock out in it nothing kitchen-related will get on it. You begin cleaning the sock out (and totally fouling the clean sink) and in the other side of the sink is a load of clean dishes drying out.

I love it -- I remember being always frustrated with my daughter when she was 4. They she made me sooooo proud. A friend of hers was over and called one of my fish a "nemo fish" and she responded with "It's a clown fish, not nemo, idiot"
Had to give her a big hug in spite of calling someone an idiot.
