You might be a reefer if…

[WirelessMike]

I caught myself checking in on my tank last weekend while I was at my kids cheerleading event. Is it totally normal to have a webcam on your tank to have 24 hour viewing? Most people probably think it’s overkill but hey…it’s my tank, my hobby, my addiction, and my money. So yeah I’m a reefer and totally addicted to anything that I can get my hands on about the hobby. But how do you know you’re a reefer? Let’s talk about it…

You might be a reefer if...

...you carry around more photos of your tank and corals than your kids.

If you get soaked by salt water more than a surfer in Maui, you might be a reefer.

 

[Gtinnel]

If you spend so much money on a box of water that you’re not willing to tell anyone how much you’ve spent in total.

Also the webcam is not overkill at all, I also keep a webcam on my qt to monitor my new fishes eating habits without me being present to change how they behave.

Today I went home for lunch, realizing I forgot my belt, could not find it. Ended up using some 1/4" tubing from my RO/DI as a belt, bright yellow

You might be a reefer if:
You have a horde of salt buckets you aren't too inclined to get rid of because its a bucket, and you never know.
Or
You start talking to your wife about Alkalinity and Calcium, or ppm and ppt and ppb and shes just got this look like, how much is it gonna cost now....

You bought a Generac whole home by convincing your wife its so the AC wouldn’t go out while she’s sleeping

You might be a reefer if you're willing to suffer your wife's wrath by telling her you're going to pick up yet another tank cause you found a really good deal on kijiji that you couldn't pass up.

you might be a reefer if the only ad you ever get is the one for an magna safe ato on amazon

 

[AKL1950]

You might be a reefer if you’re willing to listen to an Apex doser doing auto water changes day and night at 70+ decibels. Just tell your friends, “what noise? I don’t hear anything.“

YES! Nobody needs to know how much this addiction costs. It’s basically a state secret.

Facts! All of it facts!

I also got a generac because of my tank, but my wife was sold on the never having our electricity go out. I’m now trying to talk my wife into the fact that we need an air exchanger for our house to reduce CO2 in the house for our own health….not because it’ll help with my tanks pH.

You might be a reefer if you have dedicated sections in your freezer and fridge for fish and coral foods... and a legitimate fear that one day an unfortunate family member will mistake your liquid ArctiPods for sweet and sour sauce...
(You also might be a reefer if your fish have more variety in their diet than you do).
