If you decide to postpone your spouses oil change to buy new substrate, you may be an AC member.

[genocidex]

you might be an AC memeber if you die a little when you hear " 1 inch per gallon is the prefect stocking quantity"

[bignellm]

If you'd rather use the rent money to by a CraigsList 75 gallon tank, stead of paying your rent-- you may be an AC addict.

[Cliff]

You know your a AC member when:

You replace one of the couches in your living room with a 120 gallon tank

[bignellm]

that's freaking awesome 850R. I didn't even think about that one. I usually go shirtless when performing maintenance. But when I'm in hurry def get my sleeves wet.:hmm3grin2orange: :goldfish: :fish:

[Strider199]

If you find yourself getting into your car on the weekend to drive to the local fish store just to see whats new, you may be an AC member.

[genocidex]

i got shirtless when doing my tank cleaning.

[Trillianne]

You know you are an AC member when you have a bag of peas in your freezer and you don't even like peas.

[Goes to 11!]

I do that too lol, But some times you see a snail to squish or you do a minute of plant pruning and .... ---> Wet sleeve.

Surprisingly enough the invites to the ladies for the topless tank maintenance parties go unanswered, Go figure. :help: :hmm3grin2orange:

@ Trill, Peas = LOL

[Strider199]

850R you said what I didn't have the guts to say. Thank you. Still waiting Ladies.

[MCools]

If you've ever gotten dirty looks because you won't let people eat the cucumber because the pleco looks hungry, you might be a member of the AC...

Ladies probably just go tank top. haven't seen my wife's idea yet, so don't know

[MCools]

[Goes to 11!]

[Strider199]

If you research your next fish before buying it; you maybe an AC member.

[genocidex]

[Goes to 11!]

It's true that mine don't lol, But as I recall Korith was very helpful as was Hobbs in that thread.

[Fisharefriends27]

When you just took 59 pics of 1 tank.

[genocidex]

yeah like 50 pages in :P

[Goes to 11!]

Post #12 Korith linked the lottery thread - But don't take my word for it, See for yourself :-P

I actually played the lottery this week for the first time ever :-)

[Strider199]

When you just took 59 pics of 1 tank.
LOL, been there and didn't like any of them. Saving for a new camera now. :help:

[Fisharefriends27]

Oh yeah, also when you use an iPad to post while a laptop is being used to upload pics. My friend already said I'm obssesive. "too much tank is bad" he says. Me no think so:hmm3grin2orange:
Also when someone comes over your house and the first thing you do is start talking about your tanks and not only that, but you say "don't mind the fish tank here and there"
I have a 5.5g in the kitchen, a 2.5g in the basement by a window(terrarium), a 120 gallon as soon as you go down the stairs it makes a pretty big statement:hmm3grin2orange: , and a 29 gallon on the other side of the basement.
:-) :hmm3grin2orange:

[DylanisHawttt]

You know you're an AC member when...

You go to school your senior year, after finishing your classwork, and get onto the AC (Proxies didn't block it, I was surprised) and your friend yells at you in class, "OH MY GOD, stop looking at fish stuff!"

Or when you troll Craigslist for tanks and deals.

Or when your mom texts you from work saying, "this sale next door has a tank and filter for $15"...

You may be an AC addict... thumbs2:

[bignellm]

You know your an AC Addict/member, when:

You have an entire Photobucket account dedicated to Fish Albums and Tank Pictures. And your wife is threatening divorce if you don't pay more attention to her, than a little fish.

[MCools]

And your wife is threatening divorce if you don't pay more attention to her, than a little fish.

[SkipW]

If you know that cycling a tank does not mean running the filter for a week or two.... you might be an AC member.

If your first thought to someone's post is "What are your test readings and what type of test kit do you have?" .... you might be an AC member.

[Strider199]

If you use Goolge to help answer someone's questions for them and feel good finding the answer,

You maybe an AC member.

[dragoonwoman]

You have to control "The Fist Of Death" every time you walk into Pet-whosis and hear some of the "advice" being dispensed.

You snatch the net away from the clueless-newbie-sales-help after 15 minutes of watching them try to catch your new fish.

Your SO grabs your arm to hustle you past the new aquarium displays.

I'm serious! The boss of my OC (original character) crew keeps koi in a bowl in his office. Though, considering the character in question is a Transformer who stands over 40 feet tall and he keeps said koi in a tank that's to him as a 40-gallon tank is to us, no harm to the fish

[ldoerr]

When you loose sleep thinking about fish and what to post next... Need to start a thread on moving with a tank. Later today I will do that.
