Acronyms.......

[morganjl]

OK Guys.... I've been reading on this board for a month or two now. I consider myself a fairly intelligent person and having worked for the military I am generally pretty good at figuring out acronyms. However you all have me stumped more often than not. :? Is there an acronym to english dictionary on the site somewhere?

FOWLR = Fish Only With Live Rock
BTA = Blue Tooth Anemone or Bubble Tipped Anemone
LR = Live Rock
LS = Live Sand
MH = Metal Halide
PC = Power Compact
VHO = Very High Output
Pods = Copepods, Isopods and other little critters in the tank

Anyone who knows more can add the rest..

Cheers!

Just for the record it wasn't a serious question. I know they don't have teeth.

Where can you get one of these bluetooth enabled anemones? All of these serial cables going into the tank are starting to bother me.

Alright, guys/gals. I am sure it was a innocent mistake.

An acronym I ran into this week on this board.
BB
I took me a bit to figure this one out. BB vs. DSB. Then I clued in. Bulletin Board!

 

[Mihai]

There is also HOT which I figured very very late that it must mean
Hang On Tank and it appiles to protein skimmers and alike (it's also not on the reefs.org acronym list).

You mean that if I ran my tank on top of a bulletin board, it wouldn't have a DSB crash? Wow!

Can I put a BB on top of my tank instead? 8)

RR = reef ready
