Guest LudavicoTechnique Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 As we are all members of a nano-reef forum, I was wondering what size (in gallons) people consider to be nano. For me, it's LESS than 21 gallons. What does everyone think? Link to comment
Sahin Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 There is no standard. Its arbituary. But I guess I'd consider my 24G to be a nano as its a lot smaller than traditional reef tanks which are generally 45G and up. Or perhaps I can call it a supernano? I guess whaever floats your boat as they say. Link to comment
Sahin Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 I suppose I always thought of my tank as a nano tank else I would have been a regular member at reefcentral or ultimatereef from the start. Link to comment
jdiver Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 I've seen "definitions" that say a nano is 20 gallons and under, and others that say a nano is 10 gallons and under. When you consider that the Pacific Ocean alone is 190,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons, pretty much any aquarium could be considered a nano. Like everything else, it's all relative. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Bringing this thread back to see what you guys consider to be a nano. How many gallons... Link to comment
Physh1 Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Personally I would say anything around 25 gallons is a nano. Regardless, any reef is a reef nomatter what size it is. My 20 "nano" won Tank Of The Month last month on Reef Central. Some people emailed me telling me that is wasn't a "real" reef. I didn't quite know what to say to that . I dunno...everything is a nano compared to the ocean. I would have to say that people with "nano" reefs typically go against the grain in terms of filters, life, etc and seems to be a notch up the ladder in difficulty. Not that it is bad but just different. Nano is a good term but has a broad definition... Cameron Link to comment
Sahin Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Still the same reply from me. Link to comment
johnrags1234 Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 well im not sure but when i had my 20h i just looked at it as a small aquarium so id say nano would be more like 15 and under but REAL nanos to me are like less than 10. I guess one reason i look at like this is b/c when you read aquarium books every once in a while youll find one that mentions 20 and 15 g tanks but never realy anything smaller than 10. i kinda look at nanos as kind of exotic for some reason. sorry about babling on just my opinion Link to comment
