Achilles Tang Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 More symptoms have been discovered: 1. Having a sump installed first, and then cycling and stocking it before the main tank comes online. 2. Walking or taking public transport to work but not hesitating to take a cab even during peak hours to rush to LFS upon hearing of new stock arrivals. 3. Refusing to go to a gym for exercise but willing to carry kilos of salt, LR and moving litres of water around without complaint. 4. Able to spot little creatures like pods in an instant but not able to find where you last left your handphone in the house. 5. You make visits to check out LFS and public aquariums when you are overseas on holidays or work. 6. You watch Nat Geo only for the marine documentaries, once you see apes or lions, you switch off and walk to your reef tank. 7. You feel immense pride from the 'woahs' from visitors admiring your reef tank but feel shame when other hobbyists who came over spotted a patch of cyano on your sand or see a dead snail or notice your fish have ich. 8. You find lots of excuses why money spent on a reef tank is much more well spent than on a bigger diamond ring for your wife. 9. You surf reef-related sites more often now than ######. 10. You are entirely guilty of all the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robe Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Some more symptoms: 1) when at work cannot avoid thinking of reef tanks 2) when passing through a hardware shop selling pumps will stop and ask if they sell any mag drive pumps or look for stainless stell pump. 3) when going into lighting shops to look for houselights will search first for MH lamps 4) preaching and spreading the gospel of the art of reefkeeping to office colleagues 5) when paycheck comes think right away of setting aside money to buy corals or clams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
