The link is broken.
Remember just because a tool says you can do something doesn't mean it will necessarily work.
Take for instance your ADF's.
Does the tool take into consideration that the faster fish could get to the food faster than the ADF can find find it?

Lucy is right. Currently, this is a BIOLOAD calculator with a bit of compatibility/aggression rules implemented. I didn't even think about food distribution within the tank... haha. I'll include that in the list so that some day, I can look into that too...

PLEASE members...especially new fish keepers...im once again going to repeat to NOT rely on a website of any kind, even ours, to give you accurate and totally true to form information about your fish and tanks....research many sites before you assume things are fine...we all learn from one another here, and as well as other forums, but I cant stress enough that its all about the research and not the quick fix for something you have questions about..each site is built on a persons perspective as well as information they have researched from others....theres a ton of information out there and just plugging something into a website and thinking its totally accurate, could end up in disaster if all the mediating circumstances arent considered.........thank you!!!!

You will find that this build will no longer complain about your black phantom/cherry combo. This is the second time I am hearing the Fluval plus series - those are not the same as "I" series internal filters, correct?
I don't know about the 'I' series filters; what brand are they?
I tried to 'stock' my tank again now, and it is definitely working - Good job!

Here's the link to the filter I was referring to:

http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS...internalfilter

On their web, I don't see any plus series filters...

That's definitely not it.

http://www.everythingforpets.com/flu...289.dept.1180/ here's what I'm refering to. The larger models are on the right, if you scroll down a bit.

YHBAE, I also like your site very much. You've put a lot of work into it. However, I completely agree with Shawnie that no calculator can be perfect, and that nothing beats old-fashioned research.

I think it is great that you are going to add the warning. I also think it is great that you link this site and others, so that those getting started have an idea where to start with their research.

Yes, I have enough experience to admit that the calculator is far from perfect. I have some free time right now, and this is something I wanted to try out for the past couple of years so I took it as a challenge. I want to see how far I can push this thing. I've done my share of research too during the past couple of years...

The build I just pushed has the warning now. It promotes people to go back to their own fav forums and look for more info.

What's new for 2009 11 06 build:

- Bottom area territorial aggression algorithm has been further refined. Although I feel this version of the algorithm does a pretty good job in determining the territorial aggression issues amongst aggressive species, aggression/territory data in fish DB may not be 100% accurate. If you feel the calculator reports wrong results, please let me know!
- Added Asian Arowana.
- Added "Note" column in DB. This allows aqadvisor.com to display species specific notes regardless of the group compatibility such as caution notes.
- Added a caution note for Chinese Algae Eater.
- Added a caution note for Crayfish. <-- not done with this guy yet!
- Male and female bettas are marked as unsuitable combo in the same tank using exception flags.
- New feature - water change schedule has been implemented. Water change volume is based on the total bioload of the selected species. Let me know if % looks ok from your perspective.
- New feature - "max number" field has been implemented. As a first application, maxmimum of only 1 male betta can be held regardless of the size of the aquarium.
- Added 125g Lake Tang species tank under suggested tank links.
- Added a short article about water chemistry for beginners.
- Added a short article about algae eaters.
- Added a short article about ICH treatment using high temperature method.
- Added Eclipse System 3/6/12 series filters.
- Added Eclipse System 3/6/12 series aquarium tanks.
- Fixed a bug - "Remove" without any quantity would not display the correct % unless refreshed the screen again.
- Total number of filters in DB has been increased to 112.
- Total number of aquarium tanks in DB has been increased to 51.
- Total number of species in DB has been increased to 302.

Please try out www.aqadvisor.com if you are interested.

You can also leave some suggestions/feedback on this forum.

I will be releasing another build tomorrow night. If you want to see any species or filters currently missing from the list for tomorrow's build, please let me know ASAP.

Thanks!
