you know you are a reef head when....
 
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.

you know you are a reefhead when...... the only food in your house is for the fish:)

whatcaneyedo 08-31-2010 09:08 PM

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 08-31-2010 10:17 PM

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?"

you know your a reef head when.......chuck norris tells you so then punches you in the back of the face :)

I compiled a whole bunch a few years ago.. http://blog.fragd.it/2008/06/12/you-...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 09-01-2010 05:50 AM

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 09-01-2010 05:52 AM

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 09-01-2010 05:58 AM

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 09-01-2010 02:05 PM

you know your a reefhead when .....you pay more for a single shrimp then you do a whole shrimp dinner lol:):)

not mine but thought it was funny :) cheers

reefwars 09-01-2010 02:06 PM

you know your a reefhead when........you get nitrates installed in your car to make it greener:):)

Trabby 09-01-2010 06:56 PM

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 09-15-2010 10:08 PM

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.

spawn 09-15-2010 10:18 PM

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

spawn 09-15-2010 10:19 PM

oop's. should've read before submitting.

wolf_bluejay 09-16-2010 03:48 AM

You know...
 
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).

Every pair of shoes you own have salt stains.

When your wife brings home boxes of baking soda and stores it under the tank instead of the pantry..

Zoaelite 09-16-2010 05:19 AM

You know your far past addicted when a coral arrives in town and over the span of 2 hours you get four phone calls from four different LFS owners.

I HAVE NO MONEY LEFT!!! Stop calling!
Books cost $700 this semester :neutral:.

bvlester 09-16-2010 05:26 AM

or when other local canreefers call you, PM you, text you, email you about recent shipments. WTH?! Do you all think I'm a junkie?! :lol:

PoonTang 09-16-2010 01:44 PM

You buy a IPhone just so you can read Canreef at work and check up on your tank every hour.

Rbacchiega 09-17-2010 08:11 PM

you know you're a reef head when you call a box of water with some rocks in it sitting on a home made stand of 2x4s "sexy" and no one disagrees

paddyob 09-17-2010 10:01 PM

You know...
 
You know you are a reef head when you plan the colour of your living room to co-ordinate with your tank.

Yes. I did. Purple.
