How addicted are you?

[tank watch]

addicted? try feeding two habits. My wife is as bad as I am. Moved from a 55 to 180 and running out of space in the 180gal.
I quit smoking this week so now I have about $20+ dollars a week to save for the monster tank.

5. You look at your tank and say, "Wow! That's my $2000 tank!" :scared:
4. You found yourself always sleeping beside the aquarium.
3. Your bank statement is ready to swim with your fishes! :happyfish

[saltfreak4]

I can't seem to stop thinking about the fish, the tank, the filter, the sump, good bugs, bad bugs, what to feed, when to feed. I am having dreams at night for plans to build a tank from arcrylic. I can't seem to feed my children, or clean my house. I need help, can I get a sponser?

 

[ninjamini]

6 gallon...12 gallon...55 gallon x two.
90 gallon then more until I fill my swimming pool.

i love the hobby. like maybe a week outa 9 weeks i will almost forget about my tank, but then i just go right back. once i get a more solid job, ima get like 150 gal reef tank and blow alllllloooottta money. As far as water changes go, i kinda like them just cause i know its prob the best thing you can do for your tank. i dont care what anyone says, i think frequent water changes are the best thing for any type of tank. they arent a PITA like alota people say, just add water and salt into a bin with a pump...............gotta love it

I am so addicted: I am on SWF.com pretty much every day/hour of that day...(it feels like sometimes..)
I am constantly staring at my tank and always wanting to visit the LFS to see if they have any good frags!
