I'm guilty of the dehumidifier!
Also guilty of the repetative board checking, although I do it while studying, and in class. Horrible horrible habit.

You know you're a reefer when you decide to buy the place you're renting instead of risking moving the reef tank & risking casualties.

Then you decide... Well since I own the place I can get a bigger tank and move your corals any way.

um tell your g-friend or wife that you're goin out for a walk with the dog but actually visit all the lfs to see what's new. (this also works with takin the kids!)

Sit infront of your tank for countless hrs staring wishing you had a bigger one with one of everything.

Come home from work just to feed your tanks say hi to the fishies and then double back shush don't tell my boss

- You've taken a sick day to look after your tank.
- You've arranged your vacation, or off days, around which LFSs you can visit, or when they are bringing in new stock.

... your last few vacations for the past 5 years were going:

to Calgary to pickup a tank with your buddy & driving right back to Vancouver in a 23 hr round-trip.

to Powell River to visit a fellow reefer, drop off corals & pick up corals.

to Port Alberni to visit another reefer.

to Powell River to build another reefer a 75g sump.

to Nanaimo to attend a frag meet/bbq.

to Keremeos to visit a fellow reefer.

(get the picture

This is what happens when you're a reefer AND an obsessive-compulsive personality!!!)

And never going for more than 4 days for fear your tank will crash in the meantime.

- Your favorite Sunday shirt has salt stains on the sleeves

- You don't blink an eye about using your last clean towel to wipe up a water-change spill

- People look at you strange in a restaurant when you try to get a siphon going using a straw between two cups of water.

- You go to a Sushi restaurant and consider taking a doggie bag home for your fish.
