-Babe- Sure, don't forget your "Fish Purse"
*Fish Purse* The insulated lunch bag I commandeered for fishy transport (it's pink plaid)

They look like everyone else until.......they see a blue glow and are instantly pulled in that direction. They then will sit and stare into the glass box with the blue glow for hours looking at the tiniest of entities with rapt attention. Oh, and they have selective hearing...I can't hear my wife right next to me but let a pump change sound or a new water noise occur and I'm all ears.

This is pretty typical of a hardcore reefer.

Or maybe using every square foot for reef stuff.

Never wasting a single piece of live rock.

Leveling the tank no matter what it takes.

Making water no matter the weather.

Working with water and electricity.

Does aquascaping drills on demand.

Finds problems and solves them.

And all of these things were in a single month back in February 2011. lol

HAHA! Good stuff!

That's Awesome. My wife got me a little cooler that fits in the tour pack and she says the same thing when heading out for a ride

Snoop the Most hardcore reefer I know- oh come on I couldn't resist!

Lol! That's the first thing that came to my mind. My post was pulled...I guess because he was smoking a joint and that's not allowed here, oh well.

A hard core reefer looks best under 20,000K light.

Set aside from the massive expense financially I personally feel a hardcore reefer should have at least one battle scar from the hobby. Mine personally was insanely bad and ended up costing well lets see........150,000 in surgeries. I don't think the pics should be posted of the injury . Let's say I was settled by up a stand for my sump plumbed in my basement and had a run in with my hand and a circular saw and they don't get along to say the least. So anyone else have battle scars that's a hardcore reefer

Oh man! I'm an artist who's medium of choice (generally) is wood, I have a full shop of things that can maime me in the blink of an eye. I've also worked around industrial meat packing machinery that if a mistake was made it was likely your last. I'm also a chef and have MANY scars from that career. Safety ALWAYS has to be the first thing on your mind.

Sorry for your experience, It's awesome that you shared that with us. Maybe someone else will think twice before making a similar mistake because you chimed in!

Don't get me wrong, there probably isn't a single creation of mine that I haven't bled for at some point during it's creation. I just try to limit my sacrifice to superficial wounds in the name of Art. Stay safe brother!
