You know you're really into reefing if...and other conversations

[Quietman]

I used to check the weather for drive to work, how to dress or see how bad that storm really is....now I'm checking it to see if it's safe to ship corals along the route to my house.

How about when you brother tells you he is getting married in Florida and my first thought was, "nice I get to go visit TSA."

 

[Samina]

Your always seeking knowledge pertaining to it and learning. So much to learn, a humbling thing really.

My favorite spot in the house used to be my leather recliner in front of the TV. Now it's the bar stool in front of the tank. Priorities!

...or when you hear the letters TSA you immediatly think about a fish store in Orlando and not the people at the airport.

You actually consider what would become of your reef if you were to die...and make preparations for such a hopefully distant eventuality.

You will love it! Make sure that you let them know that you are visiting from out of town and ask for a tour of the coral farm at the Megastore - not guaranteed, but they try to accommodate.

You know you're really into reefing when your tank has it's own line on your monthly budget.

I’m getting there. However I’m already past the betta keeping addiction of walking in ANY store and saying “I could totally keep a fish in there.” To the point if I don’t, family thinks something’s wrong lol. Now it’s “I wonder if that would fit over my filter sock as a silencer”

Why not move the recliner in front of the tank?

GENIUS!!

... you wait for your next paycheck to buy new coral.
...you go to your lfs at least once a week
...are constantly checking r2r

 

[Quietman]

You wonder if that planted tank you sweated over every little design addition last year wouldn't make a good 'xenia' only tank.

 

[Katrina71]

You avoid going out to stay home and watch the tank.

You stop worrying if you're being antisocial, agoraphobic or just can't leave your tank.

When you call some LFS just to be clear about opening hours during holidays... just in case needed

When your dad says that your family is going to New York, and the first thing you do is check if Reef-A-Palooza New York is that week.
