could you give a definitive answer for how long it takes a human to mature?
that said i will throw my opinion in the bag and state that a tank over a year is mature and it is seen by the lack of problematic algae blooms and a stability in water chemistry.
Pod man & The Lord are right on the money with the 1 year thing and noticing when the algae blooms are over and your water parameters are stabilized. It has been 11 months on my 110 gallon and Im just "stable" now and my water level's are not all over the place!I hope this help's..
Not to hijack, but Podman & The Lord....I know some producers who are almost crazy enough to try it...hey like a Reef version of shows on DIY...wait forget them...I'd try it first...Copyright...Copyright...Copyright.
Now you can't steal my idea. LOL!
