You might be a Hardcore Reefer if...

• 
  You refer to living things by their scientific names (ie, your corals) and you're not a scientist.

• 
  
  You're comfortable showing up at someones home you have never met, in an area you have never been to, to buy stuff, and don't understand why your significant other finds it weird.

LOL I am going to go ask for 1 scallop tomorrow. I don't even have a predator tank!

What really gets them going is when I ask for 1 scallop, 2 shrimp and 1 clam. And I ask to make sure those are wild caught. *lol* I get some of the dirties looks for the guy at one place.
