What happened to AqAdvisor?!?!

[A201]

Never been to the AqAdvisor site, so I can't praise or knock it. I do see where forum members occassionally refer to AqAdvisor, and attemt to confirm AA's advice with experienced members of the fish forums.
I've replied to such posts & IMO AA's advice has not been all that accurate.
Just curious to what PHD, Marine Biologist or expert created the AA site.
Don't get me wrong, I think a free & helpful fishkeeping on line site is a good thing.

Anyone else having problems accessing AqAdvisor?

Nope.

Not today but sometimes I do

 

[TWiG87]

Not today but sometimes I do

I’ve run into the same issue. Periodically it won’t work for me

 

[Ebreus]

I have the calculator bookmarked and my bookmark just takes me to a page saying the domain name may be for sale when I try to access it.

 

[kansas]

That tends to happen at times when a lot of people are using it, like weekends. It will be back.

 

[Candace]

Ok. It may be because I’m on my phone. I’ll try it later with my laptop. Thank you all for your responses!

 

[Dedife]

When on my phone, I have to turn the WiFI off to get it to work. (With the WiFI on, I get the domain for sale page)

 

[myriad1973]

I had a problem accessing it on certain devices until I changed the DNS servers on my network router.... now I can access it on all devices.

If it ever doesn't load try using a different browser or going incognito. The latter tends to do the trick for me if it's being fussy.

 

[Lebeeze]

Who runs this site? Why is it always down?

Does anyone know of a similar site that actually allows you to use it lol?

 

[FinalFins]

Its been down for me too. On my school wifI it works but not at home. many people still can use it.

 

[Dewclaw83]

Who runs this site? Why is it always down?

I would also like to know this lol

Sometimes it’ll work if you switch to a different browser or to a private/incognito window

 

[Shika]

It seems like a crapshoot on whether or not it works for people. I can't get it on anything (Computer, browser, etc.), which is extremely frustrating.

 

[Lebeeze]

I just tried turning my wifI off and using my phone company network, and it worked lol. It was extremely slow but it still worked

 

[belarskio]

I have used it a lot and it has never been down for me

 

[Islandvic]

Just ask the forum about stocking or filtration . I'd rather ask here than ask an algorithm on a website.

 

[Frisbee]

It works for me like once a year.

 

[StarGirl]

Everytime I have gone on it its fine

 

[Noroomforshoe]

Aqua advisors' advice is junk anyway, you are better off without it.

 

[Valliry7]

I haven't had any problems. Love Fish Lore

 

[pagoda]

I sometimes sneak onto ThinkFish....they also have a stocking thingy that is less advanced maths and more idiot proof (which being an idiot and hopeless at maths suits me fine)

 

[BeardedTetra]

What happened to Aqadvisor?

 

[CoryBoi]

It’s there like 25% of the time depending on what device or internet or WiFI you are on.

 

[Rev]

Nothing. Its still there. Try opening in another browser or using incognito. There's a weekly post that aqadvisor is gone. It's not.

 

[BeardedTetra]

My bad. I didn't search for an earlier thread.

It's there now. But earlier it was a page saying that the URL was for sale or something.

 

[TWiG87]

Yea, very common. I was on a couple hours ago and it was fine.
It’s definitely just hit or miss

 

[BeardedTetra]

Anybody know why?

 

[ghostdawg]

It haven't worked for me in a very long time using my computer. I've tried different browsers, incognito etc, still no go. I haven't tried on my phone, screen too small.
Probably bad web design or coding.

 

[Cody]

I think it's a server issue. I have used it a couple times and I noticed if I use it while i'm at lunch at work it works fine during the middle of the day but nights and weekends not so much.

So during peak times I think the server crashes because it can't handle the influx of all the traffic of people trying to use the site. It takes a lot of back end power to run a website that gets a lot of traffic. Especially something like that site that is doing database queries all night long.

I may or may not work in a data center for a living

 

[AQUA_LOVER]

I am getting the domain is for sale??? tried on 2 browsers and in incognito mode

 

[Ebreus]

I am getting the domain is for sale??? tried on 2 browsers and in incognito mode

That happens when the site is getting a lot of traffic. I'm told if you try when its low traffic then it works.

 

[aoiumi]

It was down for me the other day, but now it's back up. Weird! I wonder why this is happening?

I'm getting a different problem now. When I try to go to the site it doesn't load at all. Google just says 'the site can't be reached' within a second or so, which is weird, because my internet is really slow. It looks like it isn't even trying to load.

Same here, it was working about 5 hours ago and I still had the tab up. When I clicked on it it said that the site couldn’t be reached

 

[AQUA_LOVER]

I have been trying for a while and I am pretty sure the site is down.

 

[kansas]

just worked for me

 

[TWiG87]

I have my best luck with it when I’m on my phone. Could just be coincidence though

 

[AQUA_LOVER]

I even tried mobile internet as opposed to WiFi. Anyone know of any other work arounds?

 

[Sprinkle]

Never works for me.

 

[Mongo75]

I've seen this thread, and several others, and never had a problem until just now, lol. I'm guessing the server is down, or getting hammered and too busy.

 

[QCAquaholic]

I've seen it go up and down over the last couple of weeks.

 

[INeedHelpLol]

Is it down for you too?

 

[StarGirl]

Nope just checked.

 

[flyinGourami]

Is it down for you too?

Nope, it stills works for me. If it were down though, I don't really miss it lol.

 

[INeedHelpLol]

Wierd... does not work on any of my devices. Meh. Who needs AqAdvisor? We've got FISHLORE!

 

[StarGirl]

This thread goes around here about every month. lol I think it just loads funny sometimes. Look at the side at the similar threads...

Haha. Honestly though, I don't really like to use aqua advisor since it doesn't really take in a lot of factors(it limits stocking quite a bit for me at least). However, I can see how it would be really helpful to a beginner(or someone who wants a lightly-medium stocked tank)!
