You use the excuse "Ahh come on honey the next tank will be yours I promise" to get another tank.

or when the hubby sees a fish at the LFS that he really really wants, you lie to him and say "oh that can't be in the same tank as the fish we have now... we have to get a new bigger tank..."

When your wife has to set up a "special date night" with you b/c shes tired of having conversasions with the back of your head and hearing "Huh What, we're you taking to me" (reason Computer or Tank)
When your LFS knows your kids by name and doesn't mind distracting them while you shop b/c they know you're always going to buy something.

When you wake up in the middle of the night and test your water at 3 in the morning to make sure everything is okay.....2 best ones so far, tour guide at marine world, and the fire escape plan. When I turn 16 I'm going to work at my LFS because they get a 50% DISCOUNT!!! On anything, tanks, fish ,anything. When I work there I'm so upgrading to like a 400gal tank.

LoL then you'd need a job at the electric company with a 400.
Take it from me and my $600/mon bill.

my old roommate (back in the late 80's) had a lobster he "found" while diving in Laguna Beach and him set him up in a 125g (California Coast aquarium)....everytime he molted we saved the shells and laquered them and set them on shelves as decorations...
I knew I was addicted when I got my 1st tank set up after a 8yr ish hiatus from teh hobby and within 1 month had plans(actually in progress) of setting up a min of 2 more tanks....

when your kid knows how to use test kits, do water changes, and knows ideal water parameters by the age of 3.
when your baby's first word is "chaetomorpha"

Thanks for all the laughs. I knew I was in need of a 12 step program when my husband started refering to me as "fish geek" both at home and in public.
