ok...so its kind of off topic, but



You know your addicted to reefing when you've got 4 message boards open on your computer at the same time.


I'm sitting here, eating dinner in front of the computer, (yeah, I'm single) and just realized that I've got 4 internet explorer windows open with 4 different message boards, and three different online supplyers....

eeek! I need to get out or something....

 

[Dumb Guy]

Only 4?

You're not addicted yet.

...pull out before it's too late.

Hi,
Can you tell me where I can subscribe to reef newsgroup? If you can just tell me the nntp server of the newsgroup, that will be perfect!

Thanks!

You know your addicted to reefing when.

1) when cups become jugs, and jugs become buckets, and buckets become rain barrels.

2) When the simplest syphon takes a 100GPH PH to start

3) When your fish eat better than you do

4) When the lights in your house dimm at sunrise (brownout)

5) When youve got a Tan on your right arm

hi.
Or a really bad burn on your hand from the MH bulb :lol:

rec.aquaria.marine.reefs is pretty much a standard newsgroup on any news server.

You know you're addicted when you leave your honeymoon a day early so you can stop at Harbor Aquatics (near Chicago. Hi Joy & JT!!!) for some cheap live rock. Do I win?? ;-)

Wow, sharky.. that is bad!

You know you're addicted when you just smile knowingly at the checkout girl when they eye you suspiciously for buying 12 tubes of superglue.

 

[Dumb Guy]

when you start posting to threads like this one.

you know you're addicted when...

the only reason you move into a bigger house is so you can build a bigger reef tank.

internet reef store owners call you and ask in amazement if you know how much money you've spent with them, and you have no idea.

same stores send you free livestock because you're such a good customer

you have to take out a home equity loan to fund your reef addiction, and you don't seem to have a problem with this.

you set up video cameras so you can watch your reef remotely from your computer at the office.

you have so many MH and ballasts that you don't have to turn on your house heat during the winter.

you get a bigger kick out of hand-feeding your golden moray more than you do your children.

when being introduced to new neighbors, one of the first questons they ask is, "how much is your electric bill?"

part of your wardrobe includes carrying a pager with you at all times so your computer can call you just in case there's a problem with your reef

you tell your buddies you can't go out with them on a saturday night because your moon cycle is at full and you want to see if your corals will spawn.

You know your addicted when .. . .

When you split up the bills to pay each month, YOU take the electric and water bills so your husband doesn't know how much they are . .

When you don't want your husband to come with you to the LFS so he doesn't see what you buy . . and when he asks, "Is that new" you say, "This old thing?"

When mother-in-law wants to come live with you and you say "we don't have room - the fish are in the guest room and the RO/DI is hooked up to the guest bathroom"

You know your addicted when:

Your girlfriend asks you what you want for Christmas and you say "An AB Aqua spacelight w/ 2 250watt HQI lamps and 2 24watt blue PC's (like the kid from a christmas story) and she replies "ohhh honey something that you need" :?

You decide to take a road trip to a really b!itchin fish store thats over 2hrs away and you get so excited that you don't bother to notice that they are closed on sundays :evil: !!!
(What kind of fish store is closed on Sunday's anway?)

 

[chriss]

Okay, this is really bad because I just did it....


Get a $2,000 increase on your credit card and it's maxed again in two hours from all the new corals you just bought (never mind that the tank was already full

When you loose your job of 12 years on Monday but what really gets you bummed is your Majestic angel has a fungus and dies dispite numerous cures attempted .

Must live in Utah ..


When you are shopping for a new house and turn down the last 5 you have looked at because there is just no really good place to put your reef ....
