During my learning phase I have come across a bunch of acronyms, some of which I knew already and some of which I didn't know or doubted. It really limits the understanding of an article when you do not know the acronym. Here are the most common ones I kept coming across.
--

<u>Conversion Rule:</u> (helps when the guy who wrote the article is not from the US)
To convert from Gallons to Liters, multiply the number of Gallons by 3.7854
To convert from Liters to Gallons, multiply the number of Liters by 0.26417.

LPS - Large polyped Scleractinian (stoney coral)
SPS - Small polyped Scleractinian (stoney coral)

Hope the info helps.
