how long was your tank delayed?

[Experiment397]

so my tank has been delayed and delayed and delayed in getting put up and running. so how long have your tanks been delayed for before and why?
so far my tank was delayed:
for 2 months because my dad had surgery and couldnt work on my new room to put the tank up.
for 3 months because i ran out of funds for my stand and my filter
for 1 month because i couldnt find the filter for a resonable price

ive had a 55g outside catching rain for a few months now. LOL.

i put it outside in hopes of organizing my place to bring the tank back IN...

any day now though, the gf and i should be setting it up to combine my two 30gallons.

Well, my 50,000 gallon tank has been delayed since my birth. For many years I didn't even know I wanted it. Now I'm in the process of waiting to become a millionaire, so probably waiting a few more decades at the moment.

Seriously, though, it's a pretty subjective question. I tear down and set up tanks all the time. There's a 44g tall in my attic I've had empty for three years.

Not sure but I would say it's been close to a year now lololol. I finally have it up and am not in the process of applying some resin. I am hoping to have it ready in less then 2 weeks........of coarse the key word there is hoping

The reason....well its a big tank so to set it up and pull it down would have been a major undertaking. It finally has its home and will hopefully be running a long time....agin the key word in this sentence is hopefully

i meant tanks that should be done but arent yet, a 50,000 isnt really resonable for most people.

Almost a month for me, had to figure out how to fix the crack and now I have to build a stand.

That's why I'm still waiting.

I have a 560gal tank that I have been in the process of setting up for about 6 months now. Its hard to find time to work on it while working 60 to 80 hours a week and spending time with my 2 kids, they are more important than my fish tanks.

A little over two years. I was waiting to get the filtration purchased and set up but then had to move and havent had room for it since.
