1) Plan to travel 5 hours & 2 ferry rides (each way) up the coast to pick up coral in Powell River.
2) Plan to travel to Keremios, Calgary, Edmonton & maybe Prince George this August to visit other fellow Canreefers (don't tell the wife that's our summer vacation plans
)
3) Take on a p/t job at OA & driving from Burnaby to Delta to "play" with corals that aren't my own & scrub off algae off somebody else's tanks (despite a super crazy busy schedule).
4) Cram in 4 tanks in a tiny 1 bedroom apartment.
5) Sometimes spend more $ on fish food than on people food
6) Go to Chin Lee's place for a free acro-eating clown goby & leave with a lovebird & cage as well.
7) Spend most of my disposable income on fish, corals, salt, equipment, tanks, supplies........... instead of new clothes or travelling.
8) Spend my one day off in 2 months going on a tank tour & think later that, "Wow, that's one of the best times I've had in since my wedding." (Again, don't tell the wife. Oh, oh. Hi honey, I was just joking. Don't hurt me..........)
9) Met Willow & found out (from Xtasia) that "she's not a beautiful red-headed bombshell" (inside joke)
10) Spend several hours of each very busy day talking about fish & corals on the phone, in person or on the internet to people all over Canada.
11) Am several thousand dollars poorer but feel much more fulfilled by participation in this ADDICTION.
12) Met some of the best people & hopefully life-long friends.
