How many of you guys are keeping nano tanks?

My 29g. Had for a bit over a year after I moved everything from my 55g down to this 29g. Got a big haddoni, acans, zoas and some fast growing sps.. along with a few oddities. No skimmer just a HOB filter running carbon filter pads.

Just upgraded my 5-gallon to a 10-gallon! Not the best photo or aquascape because I had to upgrade in a hurry, old tank’s filter broke and it was get everyone into the 10-gallon or let everyone die. Happy with it though, once this season’s finals are done I’ll be aquascape get it quite intensely for future plans!

I’m space-restricted based on living circumstances, so a nano was a perfect fit for me. I loved and worked on the coast for a few years and found myself desperately missing the ocean after moving for school. Having a small piece of the ocean in my room has been such an amazing blessing, I’ve loved it. 5-gallons was the perfect starting size, easily manageable, not too big, easy to transport 400 miles, and just all-around awesome. My corals started growing too much though, hence the upgrade!

AIO Build - HHH’s attempt at an IM 25 Lagoon

Happy to be getting back into the hobby after about a year off that started with a move across town/ renovation. I have never tried with a smaller tank and am looking forward to the challenge. My favorite corals to grow are acros so I hope I can get a decent sps reef going in due time. Tank...

Nano's are all I keep, my pride and joy has been running 5+ years now, though with a few bumps on the road.

Could you fit a purple tang in there?

I have been running a 63 litre tank from eheim. This is my first tank. I had a tough battle with dinos and managed to come out victorious only with the help of an oversized UV steriliser!
