being new to the fishkeeping hobby, trying to work out the different fishy acronyms that people use has been a chore sometimes. unfortunately, i cant find anywhere that lists the most common acronyms for us noobs so i thought id start a thread dedicated to fishy acronyms for beginners. so heres a few off the top of my head...
LFS - local fish shop
FW - freshwater
SW - saltwater
QT - quarantine
LR - live rock
---
PWC = Partial Water Change
BGA - Blue Green Algae
BBA - Black Beard Algae
PH - powerhead
HOB - Hang on Back
unfortunately, its late and my brain has turned off so i cant think of any others right now! :\
feel free to contribute as many as you can
edit:// ill keep this post updated with whatever ppl add themselves
