    I know, but I was trying to point out that when "LF" is used in place of "WTB," it's kinda confusing... Using "WTB" is more uniform and clear, IMO. :)

                      Due to the persistent problem of ich, I went ahead and made a sticky in the Diseases and Disasters forum citing a few good threads we've had over the years here on HFB about ich.

                      HoustonFishBox is an online community dedicated to bringing together people and their fish in Houston, Southeast Texas, and beyond.


                      Hope it helps! :)

                        There's one missing, and I don't know what it stands for.

                        What does "RR" stand for when people use it to refer to their tanks? Regular Rectangle?

                          It's doesn't need an external overflow box since an internal one is built into the tank.

                              I've seen TL for "Total Length", but I've also seen SL used in regards to fish length - what's SL mean?

                                I believe "SL" stands for Standard Length. Both are measured differently, I think it has to do with from where on the tail the measurement is taken.
