from 30g to a 55g

[30galreefkeepr]

I recently purchased a 55g aquarium (standard size 48x12x18) these measurements bother me but being on the 2nd floor of an apartment limits the size of aquarium (at least in my mind.)

Anyways, I've had the 30 gallon up for about a year, with good success (although a year is no judge.) I plan on about 60-70 lbs of live rock, 35-40 will be used from the 30 gallon (which coralline has covered completely.)

My question is 55 gallon is still nano right?

Also, anyone out there with 55 gal reefs wanna post? I'd love to see it

OH WAIT i almost forgot, heres the planned set up

150 watt HQI 20K MH (left side) planned softies
175 watt 20K MH (right side) planned hard corals (higher current)
48" 110 watt VHO actinic
lunar led hood with controller(soon to be purchased)
Remora pro skimmer w/ Maxijet 1200
Eheim return pump
Maxijet 400 on left side pointed towards glass/front
Maxijet 800 on right side towards the top of the water/front
Maxijet 800 on the back with the hydor mod

Water will be filtered through foam type media before going to the skimmer and into the eheim.

Now lets see the pictures!

actually this isn't "planned" actually I have all the equipment hooked up already except the halides. considering it hasn't even cycled yet it shouldn't matter.

I'd say nano is 30 gallons or less. 55 to me is a standard size.
