definition of nano tank

if I plumb a standpipe the same exact way I've been doing for ten years, but someone else did it more recently and now people call it by their name, am I wrong for not asserting it's a "joe somebody" drain?
Just like the nano- thing, it all depends who you ask, lol. I've always run 30~40 gallon tanks as my normal, so to me, a nano is a 2-5 gallon tank. To others, it's anything under 50 gallons.
In your case- you can call it a nano tank but assert it's not a nano system? lol

i would agree that a nano should be < 30gallons.
just to clear things up, both "nano" and "pico" are used in the metric system. nano is a factor of 10 -9 and pico is a factor of 10 -12. nano was only coined in the aquarium world because it became synonymous with being small/tiny. so it was only right that the proper term, in context, was used for the next size down (pico).
