Beer or 6 would be great if it wasnt for that 0430 alarm to go to work. I think I got 2 hours of sleep? Not sure... I got a shower, laid down in bed and then the alarm went off.

But she thinks you're a hero. Not many people can wake up with that title. Trust me, I've been in her shoes.
 
One of the most essential tools for a good nano! Would it be an accurate hypothesis to say that the smaller the tank, the faster it goes through the cycles?
I know I'm late to the party but I do want to address this. Trying to figure out if one "cycles" faster or slower is a completely wrong mindset. We use the term cycling because of the term "nitrogen cycle", it has nothing to do with something being started and then complete. It is an ongoing process. The rock maturing and reaching a chemical equilibrium is an ongoing process. Even the "ugly phase" is actually an ongoing process that we can repeat without taking precautions.

All other factors being equal, a nano will be ready for a pair of clownfish at the same time as a 180g system (unless you are relying on dilution from the 180g system to keep your fish safe).
 
Do y'all ever feed your fish just because they're cute?
... this is why my 2 barred fox face is almost 2" wide at his back... "but hunny he takes the flakes from my fingers", also why my nitrates mac the red sea nitrate kit at 64
