You know you're an Aquarist when...

When you save on electricity :horn:by turning lights off:gossip:……. and it brings you a smile when your 400w halides burn :xd:
 
When you DIY a stand and decide not to skin it so you can see your fuge and sump all the time as well!

No that's just being lazy lol and it would not be tolerated in my house, by my wife lol

You know youre a reefer when your preferred reading material is a marine depot or live aquaria catalog
 
No I have the skin for it cut stained and glossed and trimmed. I think it looks better without it :) My wife hasn't said anything. It's in it's own room so I think that's how I get away with it.

Makes sense. I wish I had a separate fish room. Oh well maybe one day :)
 
OH man these are all great!!!!! I mean from ordering a pallet to not skinning my stand!!! All things I have done!!! :tongue:


You know your an aqaurist when your friends come over to watch the game and it gets ignored for a conversation about the hobby!!
 
When you eat ramens and chef boyardee for a month to pay for your nano in 90 stuff...
 
The police raid your house on suspicions from your neighbors only to find baking soda and a well lit reef tank. This actually happened about a few years ago in my state to one of our former reef club members. I say former as he is no longer in the hobby as a result. :(
 
^^ Oh man thats terrible!!!

Congrats Kevin...I would kill for an opportunity to work within this industry!!

You know you're an aquarist when you test your salinity with a straw!!

You know you're an aquarist when you have nightmares of stray voltage and all your fishes fins turn scalloped, you wake up in a cold sweat and actually go look at your tank with a flashlight to make sure everything is OK..(actually happened)
 
When your weekly planner is based around what days the LFS gets their shipments. Gotta get their first for the good stuff, right?
 
When you wont go on vacation because there is no one in the world that can take care of your tank like you will.
 
You know you're an Aquarist when you have a farmers tan on one arm from working under MH's for hours on end!!
