Re: Hermit Crab Abbreviations
Wow I've been a regular on a hermie forum for almost 2 years now and I think I even learned some new ones.  I've been spelling out Instant Ocean all this time. Tongue  I also didnt know the one about specific gravity.  I dont measure...I actually just taste my hermie saltwater! (yea I'm sort of strange except to other crabbers) There are a few others but..guess you learn something new every day.  Dont see CC much...since we cant get them over here in the states so thats kinda new to me.   Cheesy
