Acronyms are killing my tank!

[Khackman]

Well, sort of. As an example, I'm assuming BTA is an acronym for Bubble-tipped Anemone? I am trying desperately to learn more from this site in order to become a better reefer, but I keep reading posts and comments with acronyms that aren't in the typical dictionary for me to look them up to understand. It seems hard to learn when everyone speaks a different "language". I'm not complaining, just asking for help. Is there a site where there is a list of typical reefer terms? (Pardon the pun!)

Maybe if there was a single thread or forum to alphabetize acronyms common to those of you with more experience than those of us who are just struggling to keep things alive.

I have now created an entire folder for my salt tank articles and just added this list to a Word document to keep in the folder. Thanks!

Now, if I had been smart, I would have titled the thread, "Acros are killing my tank!" Now THAT would have attracted some attention!
