Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 You might be a NERM when you've brainwashed your wife into thinking about where in a new house to put display tanks and your fishroom. You might be a NERM if your wife gives you permission to get a 125 g and 75 g display out of the blue. You might be a NERM when your kids come up to you and tell you that when you move they want a tank redesign. You might be a NERM when people in the office come up to you about starting tanks for their kids. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 You might be a nerm when your daughter’s 18th birthday present is a new fish tank! You might be a nerm family when dinner conversation revolves around the Aquarium Co-op business model! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 You get as excited as I did when I found this stone at the stone yard today and now will enjoy 4 or 5 hours of pondering which tank to put it in: 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Apologies in advance if this is too TMI, but you might be a NERM if you hear an interesting podcast that mentions testing the pH of your urine and you think "Why not?" and head into the bathroom with the ACO test strips!

FlyingFishKeeper Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 You might be a nerm if you ask your bio teacher how water's physics affect aquatic plants... while wearing your ACO hoodie... in the middle of class, learning about hydrogen bonds. (So in my defense it was semi on topic lol) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 ...if you're telling people to put ammonia in their new tank instead of taking it out.

(Posting for a friend) ;-> That's hilarious @PineSong! I've seen this question come up more than once "Can you pee in a new fish tank to start the cycle?" (I still don't know the answer because everyone always laughs and then changes the subject) 🤨 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenFishMom Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 You might be a nerm if you spend more time and money caring for fish you are frantically trying to rehome for free, than you do on pretty much anything else. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Hill-Legion Aquatics Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I might be a nerm because every time I pass a yard with rocks I think "oh that would be some nice hardscape" or when I see a big planter I think "mini pond" 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenFishMom Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) You just might be a nerm if after a rough water change where the siphon hose leaped out of the slop bucket 2 (count them two) times. When you finally sit down after cleaning up the mess and say "I'm going to take a break and have a glass of water" Your non-nerm spouse says "Maybe a glass of 'SeaChem Stability" on the rocks would help". Where do they learn these nerm terms? In favor of my spouse, when I yelled "I'M GOING TO NEED BIG TOWELS !" He didn't ask why, just ran and got them. He is sweet that way ❤️ Edited March 21, 2023 by KittenFishMom 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theplatymaster Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 you might be a nerm if someone that doesnt know you too well, but knows you are into fish, tells you they got you a present, and your brain goes into panic about a goldfish you cant take care of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the bathtub a lot when I was keeping fish in Nebraska. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
