Because you asked and because I too was interested, I just finished doing a quick search on nanos and it seems there isn't a specific rule of thumb for size. I just read various sources that claimed 20 gallons or less, and a few said it was 30 or 40 or less. But out of everything I researched, your 60 gallon is not considered a nano.

I love the pictures! Welcome to R2R! You will love it here.

Haha, I think we saw the same resources. Like most other reefing questions the answer kinda comes down to depends on who you ask.

All I know for sure is that it's too small for a tang. [emoji16]
