Aquarium Calculator Problem

[adamgreen240]

Just thought i would share that when i click the aquarium claculator button at the top of the page i just get diverted back to the home page? Is this happening to anyone else??

Same for me.

I imagine it will be related to the problem with all the other links a while back. I think there was an upgrade to the software and all the links stopped working.

We need a mod / admin to fix the link.

Mods can't, but I will post on the mod board if William is around.

To get to the calc for now, use this: http/64.233.183.132/search?q=cache:A2eDj...;cd=1&gl=uk

Thanks, but that doesn't work either..

working for me the link

Yeah, you can trust it, its only googles "Image" of the calculator page when it scanned it for its search engine.

cool Thanks

Just a quickie

Until William (?) manages to get the aquarium calculator fixed, there is an archived version at

http/web.archive.org/web/20080123103136/...-calculator.htm

Essentially this is just a copy of the website on a given date and archived for future reference.

You can also search by the tld for the forum:

http/web.archive.org/web/*/http/fishforums.net

and see an archive of how the site has changed since 2003!

Hope this helps someone!

Heres a post I made recently which explains how to calculate how much ammonia to use in layman's terms, and also as a mathematical function.

Hope it can be of some help whilst the calculator is broken.

Hi StickyEmu,

Your tank is 90 litres = 90,000ml

You want to raise ammonia level to 5ppm (parts per million), so

90,000ml / 1,000,000 x 5 = 0.45ml of pure ammonia is required;

Most ammonia solutions are 9.5% ammonia, so i'll go on that basis, but you should check the bottle before relying on my calculation.

0.45ml / 9.5 x 100 = 4.7ml of 9.5% ammonia solution required to raise 90 litres of water to 5ppm.



If you're mathematically minded, this can be expressed by the equation

A = (0.5 V) / P

where;

A = Ammonia solution required in millilitres
V = Volume of tank in litres
P = Percentage of ammonia in solution



If your ammonia isn't a 9.5% solution, let me know and i can re-calculate.

Hope this helps.
