I could go on all day about the summer heat, because these are all things I've done in the last week. You know you are a hardcore reefer when:

it's too hot to sleep because the fan is blowing on the tank.

You leave the air conditioner on while your gone so your tank keeps cool.

You take a break at work to call home and find out the temperature of your tank.

You put dark curtains over the window so the sun doesn't heat up your water.
 
You might be a hardcore reefer if... You have more spare equipment than equipment in use.

Hmm, I may need that second sump someday....
 
Or....... when other reefers know where you live before you tell them because they've been noticing the blue glow out the front window.
 
You might be a hard core reefer if...You've convinced your entire family that "it is time" to re-build the reef room and enlarge the tank, instead of spending the $$$$ vacation savings on a Cruise or Hawaii or DISNEYLAND!!! Shhhh...don't tell my hubby or 9yr old that I spent 6 months doing just that. LOL.

Sound familliar?
