-when your arms and hands look and feel like a dead animal hide that has been baking in the desert sun for the last five years.

-when you are on a first name basis with the chopper pilot who hovers over your house weekly taking heat emission readings.

-when your electric bill resembles your mortgage.

-when you had to put 3/4 inch bolts on the electric meter to keep it from spinning right off the house.

-when you construct a play castle in the yard for the kids constructed completely out of empty salt buckets.

-when you replace drywall on a monthly basis.

-when guests put on their sunglasses after they enter your house.

- You know that the most foul, most vile smell in the world is that of a dead snail.

- You know that the most foul, most vile smell in the world is that of a dead anemone.

- You know that the most foul, most vile smell in the world is that of your arm, after a leather coral has slimed you.

- You know what "coralfinger" means.

- In fact, you know all manner of things you've never imagined you'd ever smell!!

Actually, on the topic of smells ..

- You can tell how well your tank is going by giving it the sniff test.

Don't know if it makes me a reefer but... I trust my kid with our nanny but not comfortable about her looking after the tank when I'm away.

Don't you mean the "sniff and gag" test?

Oh and heres another one.

- when you're thinking about taking the ferry back home (3h return trip same day cuz you can't miss work) so you can check on your ca reactor because you suspect there is something restricting it making the pump work harder and generate too much heat (we're talking 90-100F here)which is going into your tank but you really need to keep it running because annoying reactor media won't melt so your tank parameters for mg, alk and ca are off by a country mile and unplugging the reactor would make it worse. Or would it?

*sigh*

- You go to the Servpro equipment sales day to see if you can score a deal on one of those carpet-cleaning vans. You leave in disgust when you realize it doesn't come with the actual carpet cleaner.
