    Your addicted admit it!

    The first solution to this problem is admitting you have the problem. The 2nd solution to this problem very well may be getting rid of your tank, livestock, equipment etc. Now if you live in the midwest just leave your phone address, and I will help you free of charge! Ill be over quicker than your next pulse on your xenia happens!

    Im just curious how many of you guys are complete liars and say that this is NOT addictive and that us other ppl just cant control themselves? Seriously its a comprimise for me...better than drinking atleast ;;

    Thumbs up Re: Your addicted admit it!

    Noooo....I'm definitely not addicted...

    I discovered Reefland like 2 weeks ago and I probably check it 2 or 3 times a day for new info/posts...nope, not addicted what so ever!

    Thinking about selling of some stuff in my house so I can get extra money to buy my lighting faster...noppppe, not addicted in the least.

    If I had a wife & kids, I'd be trying to sell them off to get a ton of live rock and live sand....as I said earlier....I don't have a problem.

    Gotta love it! ;;

    I dunno....Im thinking we outta let the members decide what kind of deals you get....if any...the source of their addiction could be caused from your 300g thread. So forgive me bro but I better not speak too soon

    Now that's what I'm talkin' about! (finding the woman as sick as me part, that is. )

    I may not be a good reefer (yet), but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. ;)

    Re: Your addicted admit it!

    Hi my name is Chuck and I've been a reefaholic for quite some time now.

    "HI CHUCK"

    My problem is somewhat more serious than I ever could have imagined. At first the fish drew me to them. Then the corals became an even bigger issue. I'm now studying their internal structures and doing histological work with some of them. I also became addicted to DIY and equipment and the forums. I admit that I have a problem but am un willing to seek treatment. My family and friends support my addiction so I don't think I will ever be able to stop. I've even spread it to quite a few others lately. I am here because the forums satisfy my cravings when I am not near the systems I have running. Wish me luck.

    Hi Chuck!



    Well, I have appreciated your insightful responses to my questions, so I'm probably not helping you with your "habit" at this time...ooops. ;)

    Re: Your addicted admit it!

    My addiction was spurred by the girlfriend buying me my first tank 4 years ago that was supposed to be a small 25g freshwater tank. That then turned into a planted tank with Co2 injection and daily fertilizer supplements. Now I am turning my attentions to my new 90g. The girlfriend constantly says she fights for my attention over the tanks but I tell her it could always be worse at least its not another woman.
