Abbreviations?

[Pmcgoldie]

So, I'm somewhat new to AA (about a month or so...) and have a few questions about the abbreviations used on here...I'll probably add to this thread a lot...

So what do IMO, PFS, and LFS mean??

Also, I wasn't sure which category to stick this thread under, so feel free to move it if you think it belongs somewhere else...

IMO- in my opinion

PFS- pool filter sand

LFS - local fish shop

DW- drift wood

IME- in my experience

what about MTS?

This can also mean "multiple tank syndrome"......

 

[Aquatic_Adam]

This can also mean "multiple tank syndrom"......

That's the best communicable disease there is

I think it was the snails they were talking about sand. Definitely gonna bookmark the list thanks you. I am worried about the other form of MTS... I've only had our tank up 5 days and I already want more. Yikes!

I totally agree. After reading some posts with abbreviations and bad spelling I have a headache!

Also: proof read post before sending!
