Full tanks in 1 year. How can that be?

[Son Of Skyline]

I think there are many variables involved...too many to really say "one year is too soon". What works for one may not work for another. I think if you learn as much as you can, take no chances or shortcuts, and you're very careful and attentive, then you can have a full tank in a year. My theory is this (just my opinion)...All tanks are set to be complete in one year if ideal conditions are met. Add time, 1-3 months each for each mistake, oversight, or plain bad luck. Add 2 months for general time in between tank development and you can see where an average tank is before it is complete.

For example...
1 year base
2 mistakes. Fish dies and your tank recycles, algae problem goes out of control and you need time to clear it = 3 months
Add 2 months while you just sit around and enjoy, letting things grow in..

= 1 year and 5 months. That's not too unrealistic is it?

Now I'm just rambling...I'll shut up now [img]tongue.gif[/img]
