Will a 46g be considered nano?

[joeyjoeq]

Just wondering if a 46g bowfront will be considered a nano? Thinking of dow-sizing my 150g to 46g. Have a bunch of people wanting to buy my livestock so may give it a shoot. The 12g will stay since its no work at all. Think I should go for it?

i think nanos goes up to 28 or 36g

46g is pretty big u would need like HM lights cuz of the depth.
well only if your running a reef tank.

A Nano Tank I believe is generally considered to be 20G or less, so I would say NO, in the home aquarium world it would not be considered a NanoTank.

IMO a nano is under 20g cuz when you think about it nano means small. but anyways why not turn the 150g into a sw tank

i guess the biggest nano i seen was the biocube 24g.

The 150g is reef, I just hate the water changes. The biggest nano I've seen is a 32 gallon by Red Sea. Yet some people say a nano is considered 40 gallons and less. Didnt know if 46 would be one since its close to it.

i would say 40 gallons or less.

IMO no. I thought it was 20 or less???

I would have to agree with others that a 46g would probably not be considered a nano. Out of curiosity though, why does it matter if it's a "nano" or not?

46 definitly not a nano... just curious how do you have your 150 gallon setup??? are you running a sump?? cause if not thatll reduce water changes..... thats a big jump though 150 down to a 46 i currntly have a 55 gallon reef that im not saticfied with .... id like to down size to just the 125 setup as a reef but i cant cause its already setup as a fowlr and that puffer and trigger were 2 of my first fish

Have the main tank in the wall. You can see it from the living room and the kitchen. There is sump and a fuge down the basement(Laundry Room). The sump has an outlet to drain the water onto a sink there. Two other tanks are kept there to have the Reef Water and RO Water ready. One 20g tank has the RO Water used for top offs, and the other 30g tank keeps the reef water used for water changes. You may think this makes it super easy to change the water, but it still takes a lot of time to keep watch of. I've had some mistake with my RO Unit being left on, and getting my floor wet lol.

Just wondering if it was, one of those things that you wont know until you ask.
