no J-P, your computer just dislikes you... :lol:

Picos are under 5 gallons. Nanos are anything 10-40g i believe. The 40g comes from the fact that big tank reefers thing 40 is nano since they have much larger tanks. So that is generally the accepted.

So whats between 5g and 10g? lol... I have a 46 gal and some consider under 55 nano and some say under 40 is nano. I guess it's not set in stone anywhere.

Heh, reminds me of how I killed them at the pet store. Submerge the rock in a bucket of water, wait till they all come out. Position rock so the first "kill zone" is at the top. Drain water just enough to expose anemones. Teaspoon of instant ocean on each one, then wait an hour and rinse the salt off with a few cups of water from the bucket. I managed to get all of them into just two or so "kill zones."
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.
