Reef addiction is a serious problem

[Lavey29]

Anyone else here need a self help group for reef addiction? I can literally sit in front of my reef for hours with some good whiskey and I'm totally relaxed. I love watching the aquatic animals interact. I hate watching TV now. Everything on the news around the world is so depressing for me and I truly fear for my kids future as they grow up but when I sit in front of my tank all my worries disappear and I feel at peace. Of course I'm a Gemini so that may have a part in it or the Glenlivet whiskey but I just spend hours viewing. I don't know why my starfish is upset today and giving me the one finger salute but I will try and make him feel better.

To all the other reef addicts out there, I wish you and your tank well. Some addictions are ok it seems....good night my reefing friends.

The journey never ends but the challenge makes it rewarding.

I would much rather have a conversation with my clean up crew than watch the "news". I would call it a prescription before I called it an addiction.

At least they listen to you right? Yes prescription is much better term

I was thinking about this earlier today, reefaholics anonymous or something

Definitely an addiction but as my gf says, better than my other addiction and at least it’s nature and somewhat healthy

We actually prefer to refer to it as Corals Admittedly, and it's not a problem, it's a solution. Welcome!

I'm in 8th grade, and we had like this lady come in to talk about addiction and the negative effects on ur life and one of my friends straight up asked her in one of the classes, "Does aquarium addiction count as substance abuse?"

Of course, my favorite show, 24/7.

I’ve read that a 6 month course of dinoflagellates can break the addiction and assist with quitting.

I call it reef therapy! I have not watched much or any news in 20 years...and the world is still here.

My family is so annoying! They expect a roof over their heads and food on the table and what they don’t know they need is a new high end torch and scoly, oh and a new clam.

Funny, kids did name him Patrick but he drinks to much tequila

Haha, my wife glances at the tank and swears I'm adding corals but she can't figure it out. I just tell her nope the garden is free standing and growing on its own like a reef does in the ocean. Then I get a side eye look but I maintain my straight face and composure.
