is 45g still nano?

Hi,
I have a 33G setup with sump/refugium and am no fanatic (can't afford to be). My idea of a Nano tank would be a small system that has a mini support filtration system ie 10-20G sump/fuge. Not a system that has a seperate area containing a elaborate filter and chemical balancing area specifically for maintening the main tank.

I have three nanos hooked in together (82 gallons total). I still think of it as a nano system because it is too small of swimming space to keep a tang.

It's just easier to maintain with them hooked together.

I agree i think the best way to difine would be the LS you are keeping in the tank. IE What fits.

yeah I asked because I think my own tank really sits on the borderline between nano and not-nano. It seems that nano tanks give a sense of pride to people who keep them but for normal tanks it's as though it's "go big or go home".

It's a little bigger than a nano but not big enough for a tang. it's running zeovit in a 1.5L reactor, yet it has a hang on skimmer. the hang on skimmer's in the sump and the sump's pushing aproximately 500gph. so it's really sitting in both worlds the tank
