size of tank

[maxweljames]

just looking for a clarification on the sizes of tanks, we got micro, nano, pico, and femto, right? what would you put as gallons for each of these tanks, cause I've seen every size from .75 gal, up to a 90 gal all refered to as nanos. I'm not crazy or anything. Here are the definitions that websters gives,
Micro- one millionth
nano- one billionth
pico- one trillionth
femto- one quintillionth <thats 10 to the negative 15 power>
pretty freaking small, but if we were to define them by gallon size what do you guys think, is there a scale or do we need to make one?

You can put Webster's away.
Personally I have not seen a 90 gal spoken of as a nano. 30 and below yes. We use the term nano, and I have heard the term micro in SW aquariua, all others have been referenced to as size in gallons when talking about tanks.
I just can't bring myself to call one of my tanks a femto tank.
