1. when you refer to yourself as a "saltwater junky"

2. you set aside more money each month for your aquariums than you do for your kids college education

3. the only items on your X-mas or birthday list is gift certificates for the LFS or online supply houses

And Finally,
4. Your spouse asks you when you're going to start sleeping in the aquarium with the fishes?!

You fly to Atlanta for the sole purpose of visiting the GA.
Once the lights on the DT go off at night, you watch the bubbles spin in the protein skimmer.
When it's likely to loose power for a while, the generator is reserved for the reef and not the furnace or refridgerator. (We're supposed to get hit tonight so we tested ours

I'm pretty sure my neighbours across the street think the "eerie blue glow" coming out of the basement windows is a grow op....
That must be why the local deputies keep looking at my basement windows when they drive by. Still waiting to be raided and see the look on their faces when they just find fish tanks.

You know you are a fishkeeper when you forget and burn dinner because you are burning time researching fish on the net.

-when you believe your fish talk and interact just like the ones in 'Finding Nemo'
-when you watch 'Finding Nemo' with friends and you can inform them of the species of every fish in the tank (and everything they wanted to know, or not know, about each one) (My husband loves the cleaner shrimp and goby)
