It will be useful for newbie like me.

By the way what does NANO mean ?

Nano is not an acronym. It is actually a factor of 10 :)

1 centimeter = 10 000 000 nanometers

In the case of an aquarium, it is referring to a very small tank. Some places say 12 gallons, others say a lot less. IMO (In my opinion) it is anything less than 5 gallons.

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and also wondering if there's a list with acronym's available. Some of them - being dutch btw - I can guess, but a list would make it easier :cool:

Ask for meaning of acronym in this thread that you not familiar with. Hopefully, we can compile a long list here. :)

There are already a number of lists on the internet concerning acronyms.
(do google search on "chat acronyms")

Are you refering to only ones that appear in shrimp forums ?

APC has a very good glossary of terms. I still don't have enough posts to link, though.
