Deciphering Hobby Talk: Acronyms and Commonly Used Terms

[jsker]

Its one of those things that I could have kept working on indefinitely. There's always another term or a new acronym that may be relevant. Which is why I searched forums posts, databases and tank threads to find terms that people asked questions about, terms that I had not used before and tried to make a comprehensive list. Clearly, its not everything, but I think its a pretty good base that we can update as needed

This is very helpful, I even get confused on the terms

And here I was just throwing random letters together to make myself look smarter. I had no idea they were supposed to mean anything!

Corrected the NOPOX entry. Live Aquaria was already on the list, but Divers Den was not, so that has been added as well!

Thanks all!

You're welcome! Just trying to help out, since we were all there once, and now its even easier to reference since its in an article format, and wont be buried in other threads
