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.

When your almost done purchasing...
for this tank atleast...

bvlester 09-22-2010 05:36 AM

You know you are a reef head when you buy some thing for the tank and you have not sold what you are replacing yet. Then decide to keep both because you may need it..

When you have a dream about shopping at Red Coral and they have an Orange bubble coral for sale... I might be the only person to ever see an orange bubble coral ;) (in my dreams that is)

It was amazing looking by the way

You know you're a reefhead when...you know the salinity of saltwater just by taste.

LMAO I've been busy so I missed posting on a few threads, glad I caught up on this one :mrgreen:

You know you're a reef head when other people start quoting things about you in reef posts :lol:

SeaHorse_Fanatic 09-26-2010 05:40 AM

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.

I did it because I had not seen you post on this thread yet and I know some one would inform you. Reef heads stick together...:lol:

wolf_bluejay 09-27-2010 02:35 PM

Ok, here is one more --

You know you are a reef head when you are planning your wedding and picking out rings -- and you go for the titanium one because it is less reactive and won't corrode in salt water :biggrin:

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.

You could lure me with the stand build. If there were beers it'd just go slower!

Rbacchiega 10-03-2010 05:44 PM

you bite your tounge over shop situations (hack friggen fake ass daughter who pretends she's a tattooer even though she couldn't tattoo a proper line if her life depended on it but she's the boss' daughter so we all tip toe around a friggen 17 year old to avoid her tempertantrums and bitchfests...wait...what) because you just started to build a nice 75 gallon Reef....fml

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.
