What size tank is considered a nano?

What is the biggest sized tank that is still considered a nano?

 

[jcosta26]

A lot of people say 30 gallons or lower is considered nano

 

[haleyf1024]

+1 on everything under 30. Pico tanks are usually under 5 gallons.

That is a thread that was started asking everyones opinion on what they consider nano/pico tank sizes to be.

 

[Deberber]

Yep no more than 30

 

[Mike628]

Would 29 be considered a nano?

 

[hart24601]

I really don't consider a 29g a nano personally, not that what anyone calls a tank really matters.

 

[Mike628]

Right. I was just wondering

 

[Tahoe61]

Yeah the old standard used to be 30 and below, 6 and below a Pico.

 

[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

I say 30g and below.

 

[Mark426]

I think I read somewhere it's 30G and below. ;)

Mark

p.s ..I agree.

30 and under is Nano
5 and under is Pico.
END OF DISCUSSION. (period)

See I would have to say 20 and below, I do not think 30g is very small.

 

[gsjustin]

So I'm guessing my 15 gallon mixed reef is considered a nano?

 

[Shep]

Yep!

 

[Gamma]

Nano 30g and under
Pico 5g and under

 

[brandon429]

I think a pico should meet the specification that it can be picked up running and not break the tank or be unwieldy but easily lifted under its full weight. So for Arnold Shw a 5 gallon is a pico heh

Objectively, I have to call it 2.5-29 gallons is a nano less than 2.5 pico
