You "make a stop" while you are "at lunch" from work to go grab the new fish that the LFS posted were in, and take them home to start QT!! LOL

When fixing Thanksgiving dinner, my husband asks if I've seen the turkey baster. I say "uhhh, no, I haven't". So of course a few days later, he walks by while I'm blowing detritus off rocks with said turkey baster. We laughed it off, but I fear my baster could go missing at any time...;Shifty

When you need top off water , go to Walmart buy most of the distilled water, say it's for in case of a hurricane, but it's actually for corals. They look at you funny, because it's Socal not back east.

When you don’t even need to decorate for Christmas because your tanks light your house lol

 

[Jacked Reefer]

Your trying to convince your parents corals are an investment instead of wasting 200 on a rock with some colorful algae on it.
