	Nano reef - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A nano reef is a reef tank of less than 30 gallons.
		The exact limit that distinguishes a nano reef from a regular reef is somewhat ill-defined (some claim that anything less than 40 gallons would qualify), but 30 gallons seems to be the generally accepted limit.
		Nano reefs have become quite popular in recent years among fishkeeping hobbyists, primarily because of low costs, smaller size, and maintainability.

	Nano Reef FAQ
		For a nano reef aquarium however, VHO lighting is probably the least appropriate simply because the smallest available bulb length, 18", is too long for most nano reef aquariums.
		Because of the small volume of water that is in a nano reef, water changes are significantly less stressful to perform than it would be on a bigger tank.
		For a non-mobile nano reef aquarium, meaning the tank will stay in its current position for years instead of months, a sand bed about three inches thick would be an excellent start.

	How to Set Up a Natural Nano Reef System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Fortunately, a nano reef is dirt cheap when you compare it to a 55 gallon marine ready tank, which requires a sump, plumbing, the built-in overflow, specially designed stand, and often an expensive protein skimmer.
		Nanos are much easier to move and break down than larger marine systems, with all their parts, plumbing, and under-tank apparatus.
		Gobies and clownfish are staples to nano reefs, but the larger reef safe fish like tangs are not suitable for small systems because they grow large and need open spaces for swimming.

		For nano reefs, there are many hang on the back skimmer options available.
		As in all reef aquariums, water movement is important to keep your tank inhabitants both happy and healthy.
		Selection of the livestock you place in your nano reef is vital to its success.

	Nano reef info (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Nano reef aquaria are not a new thing, but thanks to advances in reef keeping they are quite popular lately.
		I learned that nano reefs are wonderful and easier in many ways than a full size reef if you can keep up with the demanding water changes, but the temperature instability was in the end too much.
		About 4 months after the first nano I began setting up a 20 gallon nano, and about 6 months after that began planning a "large" tank-80 gallons (now I think of 300 plus as "large" in marine aquaria).

	Nano Reef Aquarium: Aquarium Equipment and Supplies - Aqua Buys
		Lighting is important in a nano reef as most of the corals kept in these style aquariums require light to survive.
		Adding trace elements to your nano reef aquarium may be necessary as the aquarium becomes populated and begins to deplete these elements more rapidly.
		One of the keys to keeping a successful nano reef is to keep the bio load low and not overstock the aquarium with too many animals.

	Putting Together a Nano Reef Tank (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The benefit of employing a ten gallon reef is that you can easily have approximately ten watts of light per gallon, which is enough to keep almost any nano-appropriate coral or clam.
		Reef hermits are the tiny hermit crabs which live in shells.
		Q-tanks are very bare bones, with a bare bottom, a powerhead or better yet a HOB filter to use carbon in the chance you use a medication, and a plastic plant or a terracotta pot or two for the fish to feel secure.

		Granted that nanos can be convenient at initial cost and size, but chances are a novice would be frustrated with the instability and quit before going deeper into the hobby.
		Nanos can also serve as an efficient display for animals that would not be easily viewed or fed in a large display such as Harlequin Shrimp (Hymenocera picta) or Sexy Shrimp (Thor amboinensis).
		Nanos can also make great remote refugiums for larger systems; whether it be culturing macro algae for Tangs or providing a fishless habitat for microfauna to procreate (inline refugiums can serve these purposes as well).

	What's a Nano? - ReefEscape
		Well the actual size of a nano tank is often debated...I have a 5.5 gallon nano, but generall I think the consensus is anything 20 gal.
		My personal view of a nano is 20 gallons or less, but I think the definition based on www.nano-reef.com is 30 gallons or less.
		Nano's as others have mentioned were typically believed to be tanks less than 29g.

		In a larger Reef you see large corals, fish rocks and such, but what you don’t really see is the different forms of life on the rocks.
		However, in a larger reef there eyes aren’t focused on the small crevices in the rock, there eyes are focused on the large corals which have fish swimming trough them.
		Anemones aren’t good nano inhabitants as they grow fast and will move around and in such a small tank, probably sting most of the corals and such Also, after it releases its waste it will pollute the tank if your filtration is not top of the line.

		Ive also started to look at nano tanks and while i would rather have a large one i think a nano is all i can afford.
		With a nano reef, you'll have to very closely monitor your water to be sure that it stays within the parameters needed for your critters.
		They are the largest consumers of food in the reef and produce the most waste, and there is a risk of uneated food accumulating in the filter and degrading water quality.

	Gil & Liza's Nano Reef - Setup and Maintenance
		When I started doing research about Nano Reefs back before our tank had been started, I found that people were using all different sized tanks up to 30 gallons for Nano Reefs.
		Our Nano Reef is kept in the bed room, so the main issues to overcome were the size, the look (outside look), and sound (or lack of it).
		To move water in our Nano Reef, I have employed a MiniJet404 Powerhead and a Whisper 10-15 HOB Filter.

		Common wattages that are useful with a nano tank include the 9 watt, 27 watt and 28 watt bulbs.
		In a Nano, stable temperature control is very important; temperature shifts in small tanks can be quite large and very frequent in a small tank otherwise.
		Like with larger reefs, adequate water circulation is absolutley essential - probably more so when you consider the reduced surface area and that you may have temperature spikes, which will result in lower levels of dissolved oxygen.
