Okay, I'm new here, and gaining a lot of information from the forums. But, there are some abbreviations that us 'newbies' may not quite get. Is there someone who can give a brief defination of all of them? Like NIC, LFS, MTS, etc. Thanks in advance. AGAIN..lol And what is my "Karma" listed next to my name?

NIC = New Improved Cycle, a bacteria similar to bio-spira, which jump starts the nitrogen cycle

LFS = Local Fish Store, alternately LCS (local chain store), LCPS (local chain pet store, etc.

MTS = Can be either Malaysian Trumpet Snail or Multiple Tank Syndrome, which is the non-technical term for those of us who MUST have MORE tanks...

Hmm... there was a thread a while back asking about abbreviations... a different one from the one Vic listed.

Also, Karma is explained in this post: http://www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/forums/thread.asp?id=36301

Hope that helped.

Thanks so much. I feel smarter already. I am used to the chatting jaron, but new to the fish jaron. I can IM people to death with shortcuts, but not with a new genre.

Thanks again! :%)
