Is your tank overstocked, are you setting up a tank, check this out everybody!

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.

Not sure what those native fishes are - do you have any scientific names for those? I've noted down peacock bass.

What is the dimension of that 720g? Or is that your own custom setup? I am having a hard time finding common dimensions for 300g+ tanks.

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.

Currently, it is marked as 26 inches. Minimum footprint of 48x18 (currently set) is obviously wrong. So what would you suggest - if 72x18 is too small, 84x24?

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?

That is a good point. Currently, WC volume is calculated based on the total bioload of each species in the tank, but I have an attribute for each species that allows me to artificially boost their WC requirement to a higher level (due to sensitivity or other reasons) beyond what it would require just based on bioloads. So in this case, is the eel more sensitive or you are suggesting that 6% is too low regardless?

You should make this an iPhone/iPod touch app!

Unfortunately, I have HTC Hero so most likely, Android app will appear first if I ever get to that route...

oh, well just saying, if you made it an iPod app I'd buy it!

Oh if I ever end up going the path of building apps for phones, iPhone/iPod will be on that list for sure... Most likely iPhone and Android.
