top signs you hate (and are addicted to) this hobby :)


7. your BTA splits and now you have 2 for the price of 1!
6. your 1 colony of button polyps has turned into 4!
5. your colony of 5 blue striped mushrooms is now 4 colonies totalling 19 individuals!
4. your open brain that had a near death experience due to a powerhead outage is now 75% healed and eating like a pig!
3. 18 out of original 20 astrea snails you added are still around!
2. that circular, green stuff you thought was a bad thing turned out to be green coralline algae!

and the number one reason why you know you are absolutely hooked on this hobby...

1. you notice that your cleaner shrimp have tripled in size since your first got them!

LOL...hope you all have similar, very pleasant discoveries

1. My blue ridge coral is showing growth with alot of white spots.
2. My grape caulerpa is growing like crazy
3. My fish seem to be compatible with each other.
4. My green brittle star eats only what I feed it and not my fish or inverts in the tank.
5. I have a real good feeling that I have finally succeeded in having a mature reef aquarium.
6. Doug1 backed me up on Green Brittle Star response that I gave on the board!
7. I have a wife that shares and loves the hobby as much as me.
Amen, Johnny

8. I'm now considered to be the coolest mom to Mrs. Perry's 2nd grade class, for bringing in some little critters and letting the kids hold the hermit crabs

7. Some people actually PAY me to do what I love to do!

6. I now have 10 pipefish instead of 6 (and more on the way)

5. I now have 5 seahorses instead of 2 (and more on the way any minute!)

4. I'm figuring out how to keep said offspring alive!

3. I'm figuring out how to keep leftover live food alive, to feed the rest of the tanks....

2. I've learned to love green water.

1. My family doesn't quite fully understand, but they accept, and share my enjoyment!
