Streetwise Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I'm going to bring a heater to the turtle tank. I managed to find it on the first try. I had to go thru multiple drawers, boxes, and bins to find the matching suction cup. Totally nermal. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkyaquatix Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I think I knew I was a nerm when me and my fiancé went from one tank to seven in like a six month span.not mentioning the two that aren’t set up due to space and what not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that was correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna have to find something smaller and more convenient soon. You just can't beat sitting in front of the tank! I hear you! I keep one of those fold up camping chairs right next to my tank and open it up several times a day. There's no telling how many hours I've spent sitting watching the tank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 You know you're a NERM when you drive almost 15 miles out of the way to pick up someone's single zebra danio they were rehoming off Craigslist. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseturd13 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 You know you’re a fish nerm when you spend dinner time watching a 3 hour live stream about star wars and scrolling the coop forum 😂 talk about a good Tuesday night! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doubles as a step stool, lol. I can see my main tank from the couch, but use this for up close viewing and for my other tanks. I need something else for sure!!

Tedrock Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) You know you’re a NERM when your kids complain about stopping at a random local fish store to check it out on your travels/vacations. Kids love fish stores right?like wow! Who doesn’t love fish stores. Road trip! Edited January 6, 2021 by Tedrock 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorydorasEthan Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 You know you're a nerm when... Your parents wouldn't let you have a fish tank at first, so you instead spend two whole years researching fish before they actually let you get one. Presenting to your English class a 30 minute presentation on Corydoras before you even get an aquarium. When you finally do get an aquarium, you spend around an hour a day just staring at it. You convince your parents to let you get bigger and bigger aquariums (I went from a 10 to a 29 a couple of months ago, but still get to keep the 10 for breeding purposes). You are so into keeping fish that your constant ranting about it has gotten your little sister into the hobby. You join this forum to discuss fish-related topics with people who share common interests. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or in my case, usually dandelion leaves. Oh, and I use one of those harbor freight rolling padded stools, to scoot around and gaze at my tanks. Except the smaller "fish room", that has a monster bean bag chair, or nap chair as I like to call it. I've plotted some serious re-scapes and many an excuse for another tank in that chair... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 You know you’re a fish nerm when, even though you watch Hoarders regularly, you still keep every piece of foam, plastic, rock, or wood that could possibly be used in a fish tank. When your husband asks, “should we keep these giant holey plastic pots our new trees came in?” and you have to stop and wonder if you’re ever going to need them for when you start an urban fish farm with 500 gallon drums. Because they’d be great for separating parents from fry like they do at Golead Farms... 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 When I decided there was no more room in my (originally) craft room/fish room for craft stuff and furniture. Took everything out added yet 2 more tanks a bean bag chair (to see my two new low sitting tanks) blankets pillows and 4 sets of stackable plastic drawers (from floor to 6 feet high) for extra fish stuff. My crafts are yet again getting in my way in their new room...ROFL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bige7207 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I've officially hit NERM status because I'm moving in a month or two, starting breaking down a few tanks a few weeks ago to get ready to get ready. Just bought and set up 2 tanks last night. The withdrawals are real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudofish Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I drive to a different city to maintain a relative's tanks because they don't take them as seriously as I think they should. It's also not unusual at all for me to be playing world of warcraft and have a second monitor with some sort of fish stream going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I got this stool from Costco because it's the perfect height for my tanks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
