Do any of the below describe you?

1) When you take a whiff of a half full skimmer and instead of squinting your eyes and pulling your head back,you go in for a second sniff.
2) Staring directly into a 250W metal halide light no longer hurts your eyes.
3) Saying flasher wrasse doesnt make you giggle anymore *if you didn't laugh at that one, say flasher wrasse really slowly.
4) The directions to your house involve "turn left and as you are driving up look for the house with blue glowing windows - you can't miss it".
5) When people have conversations and a word like flower pot or leather comes up, the first thing that comes to your mind are different kinds of coral.
6) You wait an hour after your lights go out so you can grab a flash light and see whats crawling around in your tank after dark.
7) You ask for coral as part of your birthday or Christmas gifts.
8 ) You are most proud of your children not because they sing like Broadway stars or speak, read and write multiple languages, but because they are more interested in staring at the refugium/sump than at the tank and will regale any and all visitors with the names of all the animals in the tank before scurrying off to play dress up.

Then come to Salty Sundays!
From 10am-12 noon @ 70 Laurel St. Unit A to enjoy some casual chat with Ottawa Valley Reefers.

Bring your frags, or just come out for some good old fashioned chat.

Coffee will be served, as well as some home made goods made by Trina (aka alongfortheride) and the grill will be turned on for some hot dogs at 11:30am.

*this is not an official OVAS event.*
