i tried on a differnt comp and it went through but now i cant post my results lol

i did not se a sunset coral platy and a micky mouse platy

i do not know if these are the same as another fish that i could use

also i had a hard time finding ram's maybe that is my fault as i do not know the scientific name i did se some in there but was un sure if thats what i have i do agree with the stocking % i got but i thought that i would be a lill more filterd as i have an emperor 280 on a 30g tank it said i was only at 110%


now im new to this so maybe im wrong but i do like the site once i could get it to work and look forward to updates so i can se exactly how my tank is

For platies, you can use the regular "platy" - those are really the same, attribute wise.

You can look for rams by using search function. Try the word "ram" and it will narrow your list down to only those species with their names that contain "ram". It's pretty useful.

I can't comment on your stocking since I don't see the whole picture. Perhaps when you get it working on your PC, you can post your results here. It is common for manufacturers to over-quote filtration capacities. If you have a short (height-wise) tank, don't be surprised if the filter capacity % comes out way lower than what you were expecting.

Good luck.

but the sunset coral is a very very small verison of the platty no bigger than my thumb nail so that one i would assume would have a much smaller bio load than the other one and yes as soon as i can find a way to post that in here i will

Ok, so based on my new knowledge on humbug, I guess you are not agreeing with what AqAdvisor is reporting...

Can you please post what you have in your tank? Is that a standard 55g tank?
Perhaps there's a room for improvement here.

Thanks.

I know I am overstocked but my fish are happy, it is a standard 55g, 1 ebjd, 2 red severums (mating pair) 4 clown loaches, 1 sailfin pleco (i want to sell) 1 peacock eel

ok because i cant copy past here it is

my tank 30g

36 (L) x 12 (D) x 16 (H)

8 guppies
10 cardinal tetras
6 black neon tetras
5 otos
4 silver hatchet
2 dutch ram
(this is the stock i had before things started dieing off se other threads)

said my stock is 105%
filtration is 91%
water change 39% per week

im hoping i can break that up into two smaller changes lol and it said i need a min of 5 hatchet fish is this true??

also im still confused how a 280 filter is not enough for this tank should i add my 150 on also and turn down my airation or should i get somthing smaller my concern is i was told guppies do not like too much movement?


thanks for your site tho i wish i would have found this before i set up my tank i would have known that my 150 was not even close to what i needed thats probably why it failed lol

 

[synoguy]

im 63% stocked in my 150g

Lol I know this is pathetic but please don't laugh seriously imao.

Warning: Hujeta Gar is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 10 inches.
Warning: Your selected species may eventually require 1324% of your aquarium space. You may need to deal with territorial aggressions later on. Try removing some of (Piaractus brachypomus, Pterygoplichthys pardalis, Notopterus chilata, Rocio octofasciatum) or get a larger aquarium tank.

Recommended temperature range: 23 - 25 C. [Display in Farenheit]
Recommended pH range: 6.5 - 6.8.
Recommended hardness range: 5 - 15 dH.

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

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 12%.
Your tank is too small - it will require massive amount of frequent water changes each week!

Your aquarium stocking level is 442%. [Generate Image]
Your tank is seriously overstocked. Unless this setup is temporary, you should consider a larger tank.
