Reefing Definitions

[reefrancher]

The boards are all very helpful but sometimes I find myself swimming in a sea of anacronyms. I scavenged a handful of sources and compounded a list of Reefing Definitions.

If I'm missing anything, drop me a note.

excellent resource! It would be great for the club's web page, if you're up for it.

EXCELLENT! Thank you, Thank you. :D

I thought i was the only one who got a bit befuddled by all the jargons and acronyms. Thanks again.

Well Done !!!
This is an excellent source of information/reference for aquarists at al levels, newbies to life'rs. Sometimes all the jargon out here can be a bit confusing. Glad someone could organize it so well.

Frag=fragment of live rock????

[reefrancher]

I'm going to add frag to the list but it will look like this:

Frag: short for 'fragment', a piece of coral that has been cut off from it's mother colony in hopes of propagating it.

While I'm at it I'll add Propagation, too.

Propagation: The art and science of corals reproduction by cutting and mounting a frag to a new host rock.

Sound good? Anyone have any comments?
