Lts, dt, bump, etc? What does all this mean

[Laramie]

So not only am I new to reef keeping I am new to any type of forum, I am also the type to use complete sentences in text messages. Therfore, while reading through posts I often don't know what people are referring to when they use abbreviations. Would anyone mind educating me?

A bump is a post that is meant strictly to move it back up in to the most recent posts. After a bit of time posts drop down in the list so you bump them to renew the thread so to speak and let more people see it.

LFS = Local Fish Store
DT = Display tank
bump is just bringing a thread back to the top of the forum

and DT is Display tank, or your main show tank

Thanks, I thought it was some cryptic way of announcing that a private message was sent.
