just a quick question but what is the biggest size tank considered a NANO tank? like how many gallons is the biggest nano? whats the cut off line? thanks.

I don't think there really is a hard cutoff line. IMO, anything less than say a 55 is a nano for saltwater. For freshwater I think a nano would be something like a 6 gallon or less...

it dont have to be a hard line just the average line people think. im going to have 3 threads going to get pictures of tanks for peoples viewing pleasure (like mine

) one will be a nano one will be normal and the third will be 100+ but i dont know what i should make the cutoff line on the regular and nano be. ive already got a 45 g in my regular so i need a cutoff line to do it at

in a sense they are all nanos.

If it's for viewing pleasure, then why make a hard cutoff. Just post a thread for nanos and the pics posted in there will be whatever that person considers his/her as a nano. So if someone thinks their 46 bowfront is a nano and posts pics to that thread, that's fine...
