Abreviations

[Aquascaper]

Hi

With so many people using abreviations for fish, equipment, etc. it can get very confusing sometimes.
How about everyone posts abreviations and their meanings here so there's something to refer to for newbies (and oldies with memory loss )

I'll start with some basic forum abreviations:

IMO = In my opinion
IMHO = In my humble opinion
BTW = By the way
HTH = Hope this helps
LOL = Laugh out loud

Go for it................

 

[Aquascaper]

This is going well

Erm..........

LFS = Local fish store/shop


(was only trying to help somebody ) )

HOB~ hang on back filter
HITH~hole in the head
OTC~over the counter

I could have sworn we had a topic pinned with all the abbreviations

Now betta abbreviations are a whole 'nother story
