What makes a nano a nano?

[fishfreek]

IE, At what size does a nano no longer classify as a nano?

[phistio]

i'd say 20 and under...although some say 29 and under...

for the record, i'd classify my tank as a macro-nano...

I like to go 29 and under but 29 is like top! I also consider my 2 a macro-nano! :lol:

IMO, Anything under 29 gallons would be considered a 'nano' tank.

IMHO, I think anything under 2 gallons would be considered a 'Macro' nano. Just think about setting up a 16 once tank...it's been done before :shock:

PH =)

yes it has, but I don't like it sooooooo small I like to be able to put more then just one polyp

WOW!
I just discovered, I have my 18" green haddoni in a nano.
That changes everything, what am I to do?

Remember, this is only based on opinions :wink:

The best thing you could do, is keep it as happy as you've been doing; keep up the work :) Do you have a pic of it? I would be very interested to see exactly how big this 18" anemone is :shock: The biggest anemone I have ever seen would be a 25" green carpet anemone in my LFS's tank...now that's huge!! Selling for a whopping $200.00

yea, i had no idea, I always thought it meant 10 gal or less.

there is a bad pic herehttp://www.reeflounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=199
he is about 12" in this pic, he had just eaten.I have no camera to get a full pic.
in the new 29 gal hex, he now gets to about 17".
he is not as happy yet, and feed less also.

Ps. this is he carpet that ate my full size Idol.

I also consider my 2 a macro-nano! :lol:

zack...more likely your tank would be a micro-nano...

i use the term macro-nano, to classify that it's a large nano... :wink:

[Blodlizrd]

How about going with Picoreef instead of Micro-nano... that's the next metric step. :wink: I think the 16oz (reef ?) would be a Yoctoreef. For you math types that's a factor of 0.000000000000000000000001. :P
