LFS = local fish store
LPS = large polyp stony coral
SPS = small polyp stony coral
Softie = Soft coral
Nem = anemone
Trates or NO3 = Nitrates
Trites or NO2 = Nitrites
Cycle = Nitrogen Cycle
Pics!! = Pictures and tons of them :mrgreen:

Those are the most common ones that I can think of. If you see something and you dont know what it means, just ask. Someone will answer.
