When you can't sleep at all because you HAVE to set up your new 55g.

I can relate.
When you stay up to midnight so you can fill your new tank up because it just won't wait til morning!

 

[Bettababe1011]

When you are looking forward to the Monday or tuesday after Xmas because it's when you get to pick up your new 55 gallon.

When you sit and watch your tank everynite, instead of household stuff and end up replaying the same tv show over and over cause you don't pay attention to it.

The people at the LFS know your name, your boyfriend's name, where you work, the days you usually work, what is in all your tanks, and can guess what you came in for. And if they get something unusual in by accident they just give it to you. This falls under "you know you've found a good LFS when..." too. Oh, and they hold the tank you love for over a month, despite many people wanting it, and letting you pay it off as you can.

Lol, once I answered the door while holding my big gravel vac, and the poor salesman's eyes got HUGE. I think he thought it was for pumping up something different... But I know I am an aquarist, because I didn't even blush.

I wanted a longer hose for my vac, so I took the short stubby hose off and took the business end of the vac to Home Depot....it didn't dawn on me till many points and stares later what it looks like! OOPS!! hehehe

When friends who haven't been to your house before go immediately to your fishtanks they have so much about and wait for you to introduce them to the aquatic gang.

When by the time your company leave the house they not only know what kind of fish you have but they know their names, who's the tank boss, when he done his last shimmy dance (and for who), what babies go with what moms and who the tank wuss is....
