A nano is generally anything under 30 gallons depending on who you talk to.

Yes, a nano reef tank is generally considered any reef tank that is under 20 gallons. They are typically more difficult to keep than a larger reef tank because they don't handle heat as well and the smaller water volume leaves less room for error.
