Holy Cr*p I never realized HOW overstocked my tank is...

Recommended temperature range: 23 - 24 C. [SIZE=-1][Display in Farenheit][/SIZE]
Recommended pH range: 6.5 - 7.5.
Recommended hardness range: 5 - 10 dH.

Warning: You NEED to add more aquarium filtration capacity!!!

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 63%.
Recommended water change schedule: 41% per week.

Good thing I am building a 300G tank :nilly:

Fun site, thanks

That's a tank full! Good luck with your 300g. :)

You have plenty of aquarium filtration capacity.

4 gar in a 125g with fx5. technically it is 3 floridas and 1 shortnose but all u have a spotted(which are very rare in the hobby). disagree with this BTW.
 
I would like to see more native catfish, sturgeon and bass. Also peacock bass would be a good addittion since most people with large tanks keep them. It gave me a whole list of warnings for my 125g growout tank. Good thing I'm building a 720g next winter.
 
You've got fire eels listed as needing a min size somewhere between a 55 and 75 gallon... You're talking a fish that may get in captivity in the 36" plus range. Most would say a 125 is even to small for a smaller adult of these fish. Tire Tracks also get just as large. Interesting app to play with =) not sure if I missed it.. but I'd also suggest there being a min 15% cap on water changes... 6% a week even on an understocked tank is very easy to confuse particularly newer people to the hobby. maybe having a " Bi-weekly 20% water change" to any tank stocking that falls below a 15% weekly WC suggestion?

What would be the right stock level in your opinion?
