You know your a Pro Reefer when you can keep track of how many drops of regent you put in the test tube, how long 30 seconds is without asking Siri and being able to tell your spouse why there's a trail of water on the floor between the tank and the kitchen table ALL AT ONCE!

You are also a pro when you use your frag cutter without cutting your hands ( I have so many cuts it's not even funny!! Sometimes I want to just cut them with my bare hand to avoid getting cut!!)

Literally happened to me yesterday! My wife is calling and calling from the other end of the house then walked up to me about to throw a fit then I said" sorry I have my hand full of tank water that if I go help I might irritate your skin cuz I got zoas and as you know they have pally toxins that might damage your beautiful skin"
Then she goes oh yeah, right, carry on lol.
