Default Nano rules

I had some ideas for a nano, but this is sounding way too complicated...I might just do one anyway.

Its really not as complex as you think. Build a 5.5g or 10g for $300 or less including hardware and livestock. Simple

Yea, budget needs to be updated in the first post. See my tank thread for an example. and yes, should be updated with the monthly FTS pic (so, 15th of every month) However its best to keep track of your budget as you buy, if you wait till the 15th to update you may forget something u bought a month before.
