what doe the "180 volume" mean for my tank?

[figuerres]

I am setting up a new reef tank and trying to figure out if I qualify as in the "Large tank" group.
the description of this area of the forums says "volume of 180 gallons or more"
but does that mean a display tank of 180 or a total volume tank + sump ?

my new tank is a 150 and my sump is a 50 that makes 200 gallons total volume.
(well if both of them are 100% full it would)

so do I belong in here or not folks ??

Thanks!

Please interpret this as 180 gallons for the display tank only, else we'll have people cobbling together every excuse from the volume of their dishwasher to the glass of water beside their bed trying to qualify.

It's not that I don't like smaller tanks, but I come to this forum to see truly LARGE tanks.

It's probably time to revise the "Large Tank Forum" to a minimum of 300 gallons.

I respectfully disagree with that, just edit the description to be accurate.
it could just say "180 gallon or larger DISPLAY TANK volume"
problem solved.

the current wording is just not really clear as it stands.
