You might be a little obsessive when....

You taste your (fresh) salt water to see if it really does taste like the ocean........

You refuse to go on vacation because you are afraid to leave the reef tank alone.

I always taste the new mixed water as well as my RODI and have done so for as long as I can remember. My theory is that if its good enough for the fish, its good enough for me.

When you are trying to convince the wife and yourself that you need to put in another in-wall tank bigger (1000g) than your current one.

When $500 for a 1" piece of colored something that can die sounds like a bargain.
