Since Im a beginner at setting up my first reef tank, could people who read this message post what the abb. stand for(whatever comes to mind)? I know it's kind of a dumb question but its better to know than guess.. esp, when it comes to a reef!!
I know simple ones like LFS(live fish store), LS(live sand), LR(live rock), but some of the others Im not sure of!
Thanks in advance! :rolleyes:
