Are you a redneck reefer ?

[Rich-n-poor]

ok saw this post on another BB lets see if it takes off here......

You might be a redneck reefer if.....

Your reef tank doubles as your home entertainment system

The cops bust in your front door to see exactly what it is your growing under all them lights

Your base rock is composed mostly of used cider blocks

Your sump doubles as a beer cooler

You've ever said "wow look at all the pretty colors" and you werent talking about your reef

The coralline algea has formed an image of Elvis on the back wall of your tank

You used damsels as bait after your tank cycled

You get nervous evertime your wife says theres seafood for dinner

Youve ever tried to convince your LFS to take foodstamps since technically frozen brine is food

top them ones I dare ya

LOL

That is awesome. It's so funny

The damsels I've seen would make potential fish hesitant to take the hook, IMO....

Cute....

You take the cinder blocks from under your house to use under your tank.

your Yellow Tang wears overalls.

your Lionfish enjoys a good chew!

you stack beer bottles in your tank in place of live rock.

you wonder how much it would cost to turn your trailer in to a tank.

you top off your tank with beer.

you think poison ivy would make a good macro.

you use your tank as a Jacuzzi on the weekends.

all your fish are named "Bubba"

all your fish have the same mom, but different dads.

you lay under your tank lights so you can tell the neighbors about your trip to the carribian.

you use the gravel from your driveway as substraight for your tank.

your fish request a tire swing in the tank.


This is all I can think of for right now maybe more later, maybe!

If you ever run out of beer, God forbid, you use "Golden Grain Alcohol" as topoff.

You have considered using your pickup bed as your next fish tank.

All your fish wear John Deere hats.

 

[bensenvill]

how bout this one,

you may be a redneck reefer if fixing your sump involves old car parts

 

[Dragonlady]

you might be redneck reefer if
your cleaner shrimp give you manicures
your cleaner shrimp pick dip out of your teeth
you put a fishing pole in you tank to catch a meal

 

[mark h]

your a redneck reefer if

your family tree doesn't branch
you dip your fish and corals in a spittoon
you put the fish from your fishing trip in your tank
feed your fish earthworms from the local bait store
ground up tabacco and use it as nori

 

[Rich-n-poor]

you might be a redneck reefer if...........

Your protien skimmer is made of beer cans and a brake line from a '74 chevy

youve ever tried to use your reef as collateral for a loan at the pawn shop

you bought a bedliner for your truck just so you could have a big enough place to mix up top off water for you 5000 gallon reef swimmin pool

you have curtains on your reef tank

you know what all the additives for your tank taste like cause you wanted to test them yourself first

and by the way that coralline on my tank really does look like elvis

I've heard this thread before....here's some I'm stealing from what I heard...

You shop for livestock at the grocer.

Your monthly tank expenses are more than the payment on your double-wide.

You have a small, inhabited tank sitting on top of an old, empty, leaking tank.

Reefer doesn't mean a funny cigarette.

You have beer in the fish food fridge.

I can't think of any more right now...

 

[freedom75]

Good ole Carolina Boy

Your kalk doser is a chicken waterer from the LFS(local feed store).

Your kalk is garden lime from the same store.

The same store also carries IO salt, tubin', scrapers and udder stuff fer yer reef.

 

[Sledog]

Your mandarin has more teeth than you and your dog.

Your front glass is plastered with NASCAR stickers.

All your fish swim counterclockwise around and around and around and.....

You attach frags with bailing wire and duct tape.

Your DSB is composed primarily of used kitty litter.

 

[pondscum]

you hang a deerhead over your tank!!!!!!

 

[dbman]

... you have dead reef occupants preserved and mounted on wall

 

[bopeep]

You might be a redneck reefer if...

You named your turbo snail Earnhardt and your lawnmower blennie Deere.

Your tank fell through the floor of the trailer when you filled it with water.

When it fell, it landed on your peacock.

You scraped off the "weed" growing on the glass with a buck knife.

And got REALLY high off of it.

The sh*t your skimmer makes smells better than your wife.

You wish your mullet would grow as fast as your hair algae.

You wish your crabs would grow as fast as your wife's.

All your fish are somehow related.

You work in the sun all day, take off your overalls, and realize you look like a huge clown fish.

All hell is frozen over.

You might be a Reefing Redneck if you sit plants next to you MH lighting for free light.

If you walk for hours in a Home Depot looking for parts you could use in your reef!

Use the scraps from the dinner table as fish food!

Only scrape enough algae off the glass to make small viewing portals!

Throw nails in your sump for extra iorn!

Use Lights of America compact flood lamps as reef lighting!

and last but not liest..
You might be a reefing redneck if ....

You urinate in your new setups to start the cycle instead of adding damsels!

Just a few things I made up for this thread!

 

[Anemone]

Doing a water change causes your home to tilt...

You have several unused tanks up on blocks in your front yard.......

You had your skunk clown tatooed with the number "3"...

Your juvenile clownfish have to wait for the older clownfish to finish using their stripes before they get them.....

You've used Coral Vital in your still.......
