Hi,
I think it might be nice to have a list of common abbreviations.
Might help us non-native speakers and also the newbies.
When this is fairly complete I'll sum it up as an article for the knowledge base.
I'll start with
MTS - Malayan trumpet snail
TDS - total dissolved solids
NH4 - ammonium
NH3 - ammonia
NO3 - nitrate
NO2 - nitrite
O2 - oxygen
CO2 - carbon dioxide
GH - general hardness
KH - carbonate hardness
RCS - red cherry shrimp
CRS - crystal red shrimp
B&W - black & white shrimp
R&W - red & white shrimp
More ideas?
Cheers
Ulli |

Hi Ulli,
I´m a bit confused now,I thought TDS is a common abbreviation for the Melanoides tuberculatus. |

Hi Heike,
yes, in German... 
In English it's MTS (Malayan Trumpet Snail).
Cheers

Hello,
in germany R/W or R&W is used very often for good Crystal Red.
It doesn't matter, if this isn't so in other countries. Some countries used it, other countries not.
We need the abbreviations from your countries to became a full list  |

HMF for Hamburg mat filter
Do you have abbreviations for snails other than MTS?
Cheers

Ok this is getting better yet Ulli
our MTS is what we term in fish talk on site as
"Multiple Tank Syndrome"
which you all seem to have here,,,,
I believe its a universal language of fish people
I have 4 aquariums as I'm sure you do too
Cheers

Four with shrimp and snails only, one with fish and shrimp and one with Hyalella.
And I have another vase in my closet and plans what to do with it
