IMHO, What's the difference!! In effect, who cares what you call it?

So you know what forum to post in..>DUH!! j/k lol

I guess people just like labeling ****. I think anything under 29/30 is a nano, anything under 5.5-6g is a Pico, and anything over 125-150 is a large reef. Stuff over 1000 is monster territory.
 
4g.-30g = nano
3g. and under = pico
35g-120 = large reef..
but really it doesnt matter to me.. if someone with a 40g. posts in the nano section.. who gives a crap even if they have a 50g. or 75g. really .. who cares
 
29g and under is considered nano. I think 29g is too big to be called nano, but oh well. I like the previous poster. It's really no big deal.
 
i was just curious because i have 3 threads going now thats for pictures. i started a nano thread a midsize thread and a 100+ thread for everyone to show off their tanks in.

i was just looking for a cutoff line on the nano thread.

thanks for everyones opinions

People with 3.5g and 33g tanks must be really confused. Haha. Well I just started a 4 gal and I'm calling it a pico because it just sounds cool.
 
While we are on the subject, if a nano tank is connected to, let's say, a 100 gallon refugium, is it still considered a nano? If not, what is the largest sized refugium that a nano can have? Hmmm, so many questions...

that would be one heck of a clean tank. Just based on that scale, I can't imagine having a 200 gallon sump on my 20. that would either be a whicked funny looking stand or one room of mine would disapear just for the sump and equipment so that I could display the 20 in the living room!
 
There is about 361 x 10^19 gallons of water in the ocean. Since "nano" means 10^-9, I would call anything smaller than 3.61 x 10^12 gallons a nano tank.

You heard it here first: Any tank less than 3,610,000,000,000 (3.6 trillion) gallons is a nano tank and anything less than 3.6 billion gallons is a pico.

so what sort of filtration would you run on that "nano"? think of the skimmer you'd need.....

on the other hand, think of what you could stock it with. Heck you could have a reef, open water reef and outer ocean all in one tank!!
 
The best skimmer is waves crashing onto the beach, although this produces a lot of microbubbles.
