I live less than one mile from the best reef store in town, so Im in there alot.
Yesterday I found my self walking in the place in my pajama bottoms and a reef club shirt "I glue animals to rocks".I hadnt shaved in a couple of days and my hair was a bit mussed.The two workers behind the counter looked at me and just began to giggle.....it had been all of 24 hrs since they saw me last.
I bought a coco worm I had been eyeing for a week or so.Then spent the balance of the afternoon/night watching it poke in and out of its tube.
Im so ashamed!!!!

    LOL That's nothin. I've gone into a store 3 times in one day trying to decide if I was going to buy a trio of rainsfordi gobies. Oh and a CBB. And PJ's and club t's are required wear when going to a LFS.

    Welcome friend, here we admit we have a problem and we cope with it lol

    Sometimes I think this hobby is unhealthy for me because I can't get the tank off my head!

    For me the hardest thing when I began saltwater was stopping myself filling my tank with every wicked fish I saw. Its a good thing coral frags were there to fill that void. Previously I had a 135g with african cichlids and it was normal to go "shopping" most weekends.

    Right now though, I am on a patience kick and trying my hardest to let everything grow in. Maybe it is worse that now all I do is press my nose to the glass and watch for new coralites.

    Ya I love my fuge...The chaeto ball just slowly spinning in the light current, the copepods everywhere scooting around.
    I have my drain split with a ball valve set for about 80% to the skimmer, the rest to the fuge.Simple lighting 8 hrs a day.I use the bulb Melev reviewed,pc spotlight type 7$.I have 55g sump that is split evenly 3 ways so my fuge is 18 gallons.

    Ok.So Im in the LFS yesterday and one of the workers there (young female) says to me as I come in ,"You must have a crush on someone here".....um no.I explained to her that I only live about 700 yards from the store and Im fairly new to the hobby and am still stocking my tank.I should have said "Look Im an addict"
