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

[Crazyfish88]

What are the tank dimensions for your tank?

my dimensions on the 450 are 8'x3'x2.5'.

Also I re did my test as I just noticed that u could change the size of the fish using the juvenille size option and this is what I got for:


3 x 17" Silver Aros
2 x 13" Pbass Ocellaris
3 x 12" ID sharks
1 x 14" RTC
1 x 14" TSN/RTC


Warning: Peacock Bass Ocellaris is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 25 inches.
Warning: Red Tailed Catfish is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 60 inches.
Warning: Red Tailed Catfish requires a tank with more height.
Warning: Iridescent Shark is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 36 inches.
Warning: At least 5 x Iridescent Shark are recommended in a group.

Recommended temperature range: 24 - 26 C. [SIZE=-1][Display in Farenheit][/SIZE]
Recommended pH range: 6.4 - 7.5.
Recommended hardness range: 5 - 15 dH.

You have plenty of aquarium filtration capacity.

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 356%.

Recommended water change schedule: 21% per week.
Your aquarium stocking level is 74%.


The 3 x ID sharks and a RTC/TSN will be added to the 450g later as I just did an estimate on their size with the test. They are all 6"-7" currently and I'm just growing them out before I add them.

72g bowfront:
9" o.niger
4" stripped raphael
3" flagtail porthole x2
3" royal pleco x2
3" asian bumblebee
2" debauwi cat x10
2" frontosa
2" gold severum
10" gold severum

Site doesnt factor in size of fish

It should factor in the size if you use "juvenile mode"... I suppose the above % didn't use this, correct?

LOL...This cracks me up I put 150 it clams my tank is a 125...
Warning: Clown Knife is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 36 inches.

Warning: Red Tailed Catfish is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 60 inches.
Warning: Red Tailed Catfish requires a tank with more height.
Warning: Your selected species may eventually require 1782% of your aquarium space. You may need to deal with territorial aggressions later on. Try removing some of (Notopterus Chilata, Mastacembelus erythrotaenia, Sorubim lima, Phractocephalus hemioliopterus) or get a larger aquarium tank.

Recommended temperature range: 24 - 27 C.
Recommended pH range: 6.4 - 7.2.
Recommended hardness range: 5 - 15 dH.
I never knew a lima would be too big for a 150...lol

I'm sure volume calculation code is correct - not much room for it to go wrong there... Many manufacturers are wrong with their quoted volumes though. They often take external dimension which doesn't reflect how much water it can hold.

Lima is currently marked as 16.5 inch species. I use the general formula of 4 times the length and 1.5 times for the depth and add exceptions for those that don't fit for larger species. Is this one of those cases?

So what do you think of the stocking level it reports given their sizes? Trying to get some feeling on the accuracy when juvy mode is used.

This was done because I received many question on why his/her filter number was much lower than what was written on the box.
- Updated temperature range of Oto to 20-28.
- Added additional warnings to all bettas that baby ramshorn and pond snails will likely to become food.
- African Leaf Fish has been marked as Lake Tang compatible species.
- Upside Down Catfish has been marked as both Mbuna and Lake Tang compatible species.
- Fixed an algorithm error when exception warnings are displayed.
- Aggression defence for Upside Down Catfish has been increased.
- Added another decimal place for tank dimension to 2.
- Help added for Juvenile mode.
- Added Tom Aquatics Rapids Power Filter PF80 filter.
- Added Jebo 480 FC filter.
- Added some more tank dimensions.
- New feature: Printer friendly mode has been added. When you click on this link, all selected equipments, species and % numbers will be displayed neatly so that you can either print, or copy/paste into your forum messages. You can also flip back to "Edit mode" using the provided link on the printer friendly screen. Use this when you want to ask further in your favorite forums.
- Total number of filters in DB has been increased to 248.
- Total number of species in DB has been increased to 714.

Requester: Please let me know the scientific names of Dario Dario and Scarlet Badis. According to all the web sites I have checked so far, those two are supposed to be the same. Thanks.

For some reason when i try and do user defined flow rate for filter it keeps dropping to 0 when i hit 'update'. So my filtration is 0%!!!

Juvenile sizes system is great! I'm now down to 74% stocked from but it still tells me i'll be 566% overstocked when they're fully grown so i now know i'll need to build 5.5 to 6 times larger for next build which is useful

Good work.

Ack, looks like I broke that feature again... Thanks for reporting.
Oh and by the way, that field is not for flow rate, it is to specify the filtration capacity as quoted by the manufacturer. Flow rate alone is not enough to calculate the filtration capacities.

Glad to hear it.

how would i put my info in there. i have a 825 gallon tank and i have a pump and filter that does 5200 gallon per hour and is recommended for a 7500 gallon pond so im intrigued to see what it would say as far as water changes go. i have a 20 rtc a 16 hybrid rtc a 15 inch orange catfish (2) 14 inch marble cats. since i have so much over kill i wasnt planning on doing much water changes as it is a huge body of water and taking water and adding water to it is a pain in the ass. here is a link to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmLlyFjl95U

Another fish that could be added...just because I need to factor it in. LOL
Dwarf Green Pike Cichlid Crenicichla compressiceps

Warning: Dourada is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 74.8 inches.

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 0%.
Recommended water change schedule: 74% per week. (You might want to split this water change schedule to two separate 49% per week)
Your aquarium stocking level is 270%.[SIZE=-1] [Generate Image][/SIZE]
Your tank is seriously overstocked. Unless this setup is temporary, you should consider a larger tank.




Question: First i'd like to point out this is not an actual, it's a theoretical tank! Was just using the dimensions of the 1000gal to work out what i'd require for if the fish were fully grown. First it's saying i'll require 554% of the aquarium space currently input, but then it's saying i'm only 270% over stocked (which is the same thing isn't it?) So why are the 2 numbers different?

Sorry if you've already covered this on a previous post.
