Reefism
The following is the offical reefaholics questionaire. If you answer yes to any one of the following questions you are a reefaholic. If youanswer yes to three of these questions you are in need of serious councelling. If you answer yes to all of the questions you need to email me immediatly so that I can send an emergency squad to you home and remove your reef. (it will be well taken care of) promise
1.You cant pass your tank with out giving everything a thorough looking over.
2.You try to approx. the growth of your Sps on a daily basis.
3.You cant walk out of the fish store with out spending at least $ 200.00
4.You will argue about reef lighting with your dying breath.
5.If you see just one coral with its polups retracted your mind begins to spin (Alk. CA, Nitrates, phospahates time for a water change.)
6.You will give up vacations, weekend jounts and so on because you dont want to leave your reef.
7.When going for a week end trip you spend 10 minutes telling the babysitter about you kids and 2 hours about your tank.
8.When you have company coming over the first thing you break out is your algae cleaner.
9.The most exiting thing to happen to you in the last 3 years is the purchase of a tricolor Acro.
10.Once you finaly get your reef running perfect and everything growing, you begin to make plans for your next tank.
11.You feel geniune sorry and deep greef when one of your snails die.
12.you feel a great sence of satisfaction when slippery green stuff grows rubbermaid container you call a refrgium.
13.You will chase the kids around the house cursing and swearing about them leaving the lights on... when you actually need a generating plant for your reef.

Michael, that ain't going to happen as long as there's a drop of saltwater left in your tank!

I failed to pass the test.  When I read No. 3, I thought, " I'm not that bad!", but, then I got to thinking about a certain impulse buyout of the LFS when I bought $150 worth of LR and several bags of Carribsea sand and some critters, and......Well, let's just say that in trying to hide the costs from my family, even I am beginning to forget what I spend. |

I scored a 9 and if we had any extra money I could easily spend money at the LFS, but we never seem to have extra money. Anix that is very funny and true.
