When you have a maid, but the display is still the cleanest thing in the house...

Edit: When you explain to your boss that your productivity issues on days you work from home are directly attributed to the fact that you work in the same room as your tank.

When you get up extra early to do a WC before work.

 

[rdnelson]

When your boss is e-mailing you listings of tanks for sale on Craigs List and digs through all the surplus materials in the warehouse to help you build a DIY ATO.

 

[superclown]

When you look around your house and say what else can I sell for more slush money

 

[rdnelson]

When your fish eat better than you kids. When you have pics of your tank in your wallet but no picks of your wife.

When instead of asking Daddy to read a bedtime story to her every night the four year old asks "Daddy can we get our flashlights and look for pods and bristle stars in the sump?"...

Been doing that for a few months now and it's part of the bed time ritual....

Thats Cool. If its something the kids can enjoy with you then its worth every penny we try to convince everyone else it is :lol2:


I have drove 2 hours out of my way and back just for pods to try to raise clownfish fry before.

 

[firstfear]

Yep I will let her hold bristle starts, hermits or asternias and she is always looking for stuff. She loves fish and inverts and knows a ton about them. She went into one sponsors store and yelled "look Flatworms"... was pretty embarrassing at the time but funny now... I am glad she is passionate about fish and other animals.

When you get home from work and say hello to your tank. Before you acknowledge your wife

Haha this is funny! I think my bf & I will be addicts.. we started on a 29 gal w/ a 15 gal sump. Built everything.. made diy rock, the rock cured and now.. we are starting all over and going bigger with a 55gal & a 20gal sump We have to buy lights & a new skimmer now, but I guess it's better to go bigger than to go small and not be satisfied

Word on the street is that we are never satisfied. Bought a 125 in October and I just picked up a bigger tank this weekend...

I am so guilty of this one it isn't even funny in fact she has yelled at me for this one a time or 2

when you had big plans today and then decided to not do any of your other plans, drive across the city to checkout a few stores. Get home, acclimate new corals, say "I am gonna be in bed be 10PM tonight so I am not tired tomorrow at work" and then realize it is 12:30 and i am still scowering the web researching things and looking at livestock and its gonna be a while.

...Sidenote: i just realized since ive changed my photoperiod from 6PM-2AM I have been staying up much later at night... ****... again

 

[cr500_af]

I realized I had a problem when I started a tank swap in an hour that included "PM", meaning my livestock wasn't back in and happy until about 2 am. Shouldn't that be part of the newbie's pamphlet?

 

[cbj25]

there is a newbie pamphlet... why am i still awake? oh ya my lights are still on
