ya i dont know how you are doing it i have been trying but i just get so tired of being on the computer and my eyes hurt. im going to need a week long break and i havent posted half as much as you.
Well, I think I got a head start(tues at 12:04am), plus not having to work this week helped.
I actually tell my wife about all the new stuff I get and how much I spend. But I know a few people that keep it a secret of what they spend and new stuff they get.

I tell my wife too:) She is usually fine with it(help that I'm pretty frugal). Except for the one time I put in bids on 6 or7 acan colonies on aquatic auction thinking I'd win one or two.... I won 4 for a total of $580 if I recall;) Not a fun evening for me....

You know you're a reef addict if you come home from work and blow past your wife to peek at your tank real quick.
You know you're a reef addict if she then says "maybe if I rub some saltwater on me I could get a kiss".

You know you're a reef addict if you "want" to do the laundry just so you could go down to the basement (if your tank is in the basement) to spend some time with the tank lol.

You know you're a reef addict if you're early for an occasion but end up being late because you had to spend the extra time with the tank.

I got tickets to the "Elvis in concert 2011" show for my wife for valantines, she asked that we leave at least an hr early to avoid any surprises....I killed that hr with the tank then halled *** to get there on time, the worse part is it started snowing and I had to listen to "I can't believe you couldn't leave an hr early" most of the way. lol....yeah, she's a big Elvis fan, but we made the snow on time.

You know you are reef addict when every single time you buy a coral that you have to buy your wife 3times something expensive to keep her from showing some aggression. ;).

What about if you replaced those family pictures on the wall with pictures you took of your reef tank. LOL

I feel sorry for the man who does that lol! I get enough grief now for the time I spend on here and messing with my tanks

Can't take credit for this because it was from a guy in my reef club, but...
You know you're a reef addict when you go to visit a family member in the hospital and all you can think about it is if they'd notice you wheeling their I.V. drip system out to your car.
