    When you know exactly how much RO/DI water you need to top off the sump.

    When the water company sends you a letter saying your water consumption has increased.

    When you spend more time at work fussing with the fish tank in the waiting room then you do working with patients.

    Metered. I know there is some type of connection to use that when my RO tank fills suppose to shut everything off but it doesn't.

    When you spend 100+ hours researching methods of nitrate control when you don't even have nitrate problems...


    When PAR doesn't have anything to do with golf anymore.

    When fragging on a friday night sounds more appealing than going out.

    When your facebook news feed has as many posts about corals as it does peoples status!!

    When your dead pet lobster has 174 fans (JOIN HIM) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lil-Gangsta-Blue/108286545890905?ref=ts
