Personally, I love the look of a good mature SPS tank but I do try specifically to avoid selecting SPS-only tanks repeatedly because not everyone is into that, so we do try to at least alternate with something else.

We don't specifically target large tanks... The last one I put up wasn't a particularly large setup and it wasn't that long ago Here's the link in case you missed it: http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=91591

unless im reading it wrong seems all the tanks are of a good size and no nanos

the last small tank was a 30g in 2007?

maybe im reading it wrong....
no you're right, however it seems like those that have small tanks just don't post photos? maybe there are less people that post photos of their small tanks? maybe people that have large tanks also have big egos that need to be stroked so they post more photos? who knows? have you been in the nano forum lately? its deader than a doornail, if it weren't for the nano contest it wouldn't even have been posted in for the past year.

It's also a case of the staff can't read all the threads, and we do miss a lot of tank journal posts. If anyone thinks a smaller tank (or any tank) is worthy, please send one of us a note.

This exact post is what finally made me do this: http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...682#post815682

Hopefully the nano forum is the right place for it.
