...if you come home after a week of being out of town and go straight to your tank, ignore your awaiting family, to see if the zoanthid has a new baby, or your favorite sps has grown 1/16th of an inch.

Haha. This is like clockwork for me.

So far I am all the above.

You might be a reefneck if the first thing you worry about when you leave your home is your tank is okay.

Everyone in your circle of friends knows where to get an empty 5 gallon bucket if they need one.

Styrofoam boxes from online fish and coral orders are stacked 2 and 3 deep in your garage.

Your wife only uses vinegar/water to clean all glass in your den.....and she likes it.

I own probably 20 5 gallon buckets and my wife can always count on having boxes to store things or ship stuff out.
