ezcompany Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 ok, so far i know LFS = Live Fish Store...LR = Live Rock other than that, there's a crapload of abbreviations i'm not used to! i can't even look them up online can someone come up with a small list for me? much thanks! my current tank status: 6 gallon eclipse 25 W heater 1 lb of live rock from salvaged super nano tank Removed crushed coral in place of aragonite fiji pink (around a inch and a half) Water is cloudy as hell, but should clear up Removed bio wheel 1 Fiddler crab covered with fiji pink silt Next step: removing filter cartridge, transferring small live rock pieces in the filter area. Adding 10 lbs of nano cured Marshall Island Live Rock! this is so costly! >_< Link to comment
