So, I was just wondering if we have completely lost our minds and should seek help, or, is this kind of behavior is normal.

i often wonder that myself... but hey, you only come this way once :) i enjoy the hobby and do the kids, so why the hell not... we hit 3 fish stores today.
 
I know I've completely lost my mind
 
we usually go to get something, and end up leaving with lots of things! It is hard for us not to buy what we need and want while there because we live no closer than an hour's drive to an LFS. We try to make it worth our drive.

Besides, I have a new tank to stock! ;) :D
 
ummmm, 1400.00.....this month :eek: ....is that "lost my mind" territory?

I fear it is, and reef-hab cannot be far away :o
 
Followed by the surgeon fish!
 
I think we're all on the same boat. I told myself every weekend not to go to the "fish store".
 
If my work wasn't so crazy right now, I don't even know what the number would have been.....
 
I know I've lost my mind!!! "Really honey just one more coral." "I can quit anytime I want to." I don't have an addiction. Just one more coral!!! Who needs food anyway????
 
I think I've been to 3 LFS in the past 10 months
I spent more on a pair of Tunze 6100's meeting another reefer then I did at all stores combined

Since I'm "still" waiting to setup my 180g I'm not really buying anything
Plus my tank keeps getting overgrown
 
I went to a fish store and had to pry myself away...so many things....I had t convince myself that I didn't have a proper QT setup yet...
 
Hmm I dont call it an addiction but when I am stressed ( which is often ) I hit LFS to destress and see "all the pretty things" normally I walk out under $100 but not always and I usually hit the store once a week. but this month I am already in for $750 and I still have 3 fellow reefers homes to hit ;) potential to be a bad month money wise seeing I need to get a new dryer and finish school shopping for 4 EEKKS
