When you look at the last post (I) made and see that 30 gal in my closet in the picture and come home from work today , pull the tank out of the closet, scrape the paint off the back, paint the trim on the back side where the paint remover messed it up , set it up , add sand and water, and hook up the diatom filter. Yup, that's right 
when you no longer get infected when you clean the tank with a fresh or open would exposed. YEAH THATS RIGHT!! I HAVE AN IMMUNITY!
YKYAFKW .....your mom goes yard sailing and gets a fishtank to give you right away then leaves to continue and you have it completely set up before she returns again.
.....you consider converting the firetruck that your uncle bought into a monster fish transport vehicle.
.....half of your fish were given to you because your friends or family dont want them anymore, including a complete 30 gal SW setup
.....you hand feed a spotted gar pike that wont eat because someone didnt want it and just left it in a small rubbermaid container with no filter or heater for a week.
.....you are invited over to a friend (also lfs employee)'s house because his wife is out of town.
.....you see a fishtank (30 gal tank,filter,gravel) on someone's front yard with a free sign and go back to pick it up.
.....you dont mind giving a little cousin a complete 10 gal setup to get them interested in the hobby.
.....all you get for christmas and birthdays is fish stuff.
.....you clean fish tanks in the bathtub that your mother just cleaned.
.....your fish give you a shower during feeding time.

You know you're a fishkeeper when
-you slam on the brakes on a busy stretch of road to pick up a nice looking piece of driftwood or rock.
-you contemplate the idea of walking into a group of elephant seals to grab a piece of driftwood
-you won't buy a house unless you can use a room to keep nothing but aquariums
-you give your kids in a bubble nest, not a bubble bath
-half of your freezer contains food that isn't for you.
