How to Hijack a thread.....Tank thread w/ links

[ereefic]

Thought the name needed to be changed. :D

Hey folks, sorry i've been MIA around here lately, but I have a good excuse.

We upgraded our 120L into a 210 AGA. I have several threads on the process and i'll link them below, hope you don't mind. If your interested, check it out.

Still some work to be done, but once all is done i'll be more active.

Our 210 upgrade is underway!!! - Reef Central Online Community

That sounds like an acceptable excuse for disappearing Guess if you now have a 210g, now I need something bigger than the 180, time to go shopping!

I guess it's time to change the tanks listed in your signature to "fricking huge ones"
The pics on the links look great. Congrats :YEAH:

The" Upgrade Bug" is a terminal disorder commonly associated with the salt water aquarium hobbyist or "Reefer". Symptoms include the irresistible urge to "go bigger", a glazed/glassy eyed look when seeing a much lusted after coral, a compulsive checking of the wallet for extra money that may suddenly appear, the uncontrollable urge to stand in the middle of the LFS and inform the customers that the staff doesn't know s**t! There are other symptoms (IE. the "duck and run") but these are the most commonly reported by the "Reefer" and his/her loved ones.
The "Upgrade Bug" also may be accompanied by the "Rescue Response" in which the "Reefer" buys every coral/invert/fish in the LFS just so it won't die from lack of proper care by a fore mentioned staff feeding the "Reefer's" need to "go bigger". The "Rescue Response" also includes returning to the offending LFS on a regular basis to check for any other fish/inverts/coral in need of saving, only to be followed around by the staff, who still don't know s**t, asking the "reefer" to either.. (A) Please leave or..... (B) a myriad of questions on the care of the intended "rescuee". (B) being the "Reefer's" holy grail as then he/she can impart the knowledge gained and in doing so brings another "Reefer" in to the fold thus passing the extremely contagious "Upgrade Bug" on to the next potential new "Reefer".
Please be aware there is NO CURE for the "Upgrade Bug" or the "Rescue Response" once a "Reefer" has been "infected" the only indication is the SMILE and look of CONTENTMENT on the face of the "Reefer" as he/she gazes into his/her newly upgraded system.
This was a POA brought to you by Reefers Anonymous. :friends:
( hi.. my name is sarah and I have the upgrade bug..... ....)

Hi ... My name is Shad and I am addicted to my reef tank. :cryblow: My wife says I am out of control and I have to stop the madness. I went one step to far when I turned our daughter's room into a giant aquarium complete with plexi glass door. She says that I can't scuba dive in the house anymore.

Sarah I think you just wrote the preface for the "Reefer's Bible"

After last night's little venture after work (and leaving behind a lot more $$ than I'd be willnig to admit to), guess the only question left is, where do I have to sign up? But we'll have some pictures to share of some cool new critters tommorrow

We came up with a way to feed both our hobbies! The kid's room's would be a 20x20 reef with glass viewing wall into the living room and a retractible roof for letting in natural light AND a observitory for viewing the night sky with our telescope
Just think of all the STUFF we could RESCUE! "must go bigger.. gotta upgrade"
Now if I could just find a contractor to do it! :phone:

This thread... although really a hoot, is so darn true. Ramoth, way to be a part of comedy at it's greatest.
