    MOVED to CT from PE, to "make it easier for the fish":amazed:

    MADE it a profession

    Spend
    RRRRR's on fish imports, etc so I can SEE what they're like , FIRSTHAND:p

    Move HOUSE every 6months, so "I can have some extra space for more species research at home":hmmmm:

    You know you have a problem when you speak more to the fish than to you wife/hubby.

    - if you want to rescape your tank all the time
    - collect as many aquatic plants as possible
    - have a very high attention to detail wrt the health of your plants

    You know you have a problem when you get home from work and do a good 50% water change... get all the water out, and as you about to add the water the power goes out.

    Normally this wouldn't be a problem... but when your dechlor'd water that has stood all day is sitting at 18degrees, and your heater in the tank ain't on to warm it up...! Get my drift...?

    Old but good thread: Time for its revival.

    You know you have a problem when ...
    - You buy more bandwidth every month to accommodate unthrottled browsing of TASA and related aquarium content.
    - You invest in building a web persona for the hobby
    - your web persona has its own web site
    - you introduce yourself as this web persona when talking to a LFS
    - public holidays, weekends and annual leave is ideal time to spend quality time with your fish - you send the other 1/2 away
    - Shopping at the mall / hardware store always finds you buying a container, glue, piping .. stuff that might be of use
    - your other 1/2 agrees that you can use the dinning room as a dedicated fish, but you still negotiate more tank sprawl
    - all outings on weekends happen to pass several fish suppliers
    - the first rains hit JHB (last night) and the first thought is about the outside tanks and what affect this will have on the water temperature ... second was about the wet dogs
    - to reduce your electricity bill but increase your tank count you convince your boss that the office needs at least two fish tanks
    - your browsers home page is defaulted to TASA
    - you casually browse or revive old threads if nothing of interest happened between 02:00 and 05:00 on TASA
