You know your a fish keeper when you,...

Wonder if the blue lights in people's windows at night is a salt tank instead of assuming otherwise.

Your electric bill is the same as your car note.

You have to hide receipts from your spouse/bf/gf after you go to the LFS.

You have more money invested in fish than your savings account.

Keep it going.....

You call out "aiptasia" in your sleep and your partner thinks you have a girl on the side

... tell people you and your wife have a "symbiotic relationship".

... prick your finger, put it in your mouth to suck the blood... and it tastes like salt.

... you faint when your wife threatens to sell all your corals for half price... because she doesn't know you paid 10x that amount.

The mood of the day depends on the health of your fish, or how the tank's equipment is running...
You check out web sites such as saltwaterfish.com, more then 2Xs a day.

Actually a more serious and less personal one from over a decade ago.

When you travel hundreds and hundreds of miles looking for the super duper play sand for your reef tank.

You know the one that says

"not for aquarium use"

Right on the bag.
