Hi folks

Look what I found on PlantGeek.net in this thread: http://plantgeek.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9882

It's an interactive tool allowing you to design your own planted tank. It takes into account real life sizes of plants (both young and fully grown) and tanks!

The tool: http://www.gorillot.com/aquatools/ph...x.php?select=7

After you're done, you can rotate the image at ANY angle you want. God bless the guy who designed this tool!

I think I'm going to use it before I re-plant my tank

I am stickying this thread!

Here is what I designed just now, lol:

This is awesome, now if they had one for SW! =(

Isabella

LOL , maybe try typing up some terms in your browser and do a search, though I doubt you'll find one exactly like this one. I love this one What makes it so cool is that it takes into account the actual sizes of plants relative to actual tank sizes. It helps a lot with designing a planted tank.

Hmm... now that we are on design mode... I wonder if there are any places that will design live rock for you? You know, you buy the liverock and they shape it into what ever you ask. I wonder how expensive that would be?

Isabella

Well, I don't know if there are such places, but if there are, they surely are more expensive than designing something yourself. Wouldn't it be better if you designed the rocky setup yourself? It's easy to do with aquarium-safe silicone, and you can design the rocks into virtually anything you want. Plus, you'll have the advantage of playing with all the setting up yourself. I personally love to lay my hands on any aquarium stuff - especially the elements of aquatic design - and play with all of that to my heart's content, lol

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, hands down. Thanks for sharing!

Hello,

Just wanted to let you know that the AquaSketcher now has a new home on TheAquaTools.com
TheAquaTools.com is my new project. It is actually a collection of tools for the aquarium-keeper.

Let me know what you think. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Really cool tool! I've been using it non stop. 1 thing that could be improved is the rocks and wood. I think there should be a lot more, as I can ever find the rocks/wood I have. I do sometimes find myself 'substituting' a plant because it's not available in the plant pool. Other than that - I really have to give you huge credit for this incredibly cool tool!
