Acronyms list
Hi,
Can anyone point me to a list of the acronyms commonly used on this site (or in the industry)?
Pretty green, huh?
Thanks

Hey Grit- This is probably something we should revisit anyhow. Here's a list that I can think of: - LFS-local fish store
- MO-mail order
- MH-metal halide
- VHO-very high output (lights)
- NO-normal output
- SPS-small polyps stony coral
- LPS-large polyp stony coral
- HTH-hope that helps
- TTYL-talk to you later
That's all I can think of for now...HTH-
Brooke

i thought of a few more:
yeah, FOWLR is a fish-only with live rock
a FO is a fish-only (using some other kind of rock or fake corals for decoration)
LR-live rock
LS-live sand
PC-power compact lighting
CSL-custom sea life (make lighting, skimmers, etc.)
I'm sure others can throw some more in.

Sorry, having ISP problems tonight....that's the downside of hosting your own site.
