Just wondering how much you all rely on AqAdvisor. I would like to add more cardinal tetras to my 75g. I went on AqAdvisor and filled in all the info. they said I was 98% stocked. I have a fluval 406 canister and an AquaClear 70 HOB. So far have 5 angels, 6 rainbows and 10 cardinals. Ideally, I would like to add 10 more cardinals and that would be it. Love to have your thoughts.
thanks,
Alison

0%.....it is fine for a beginner, but not any matrix will be 100%. To much is dependent on an individual fish's temperament. Not saying anything bad about..a great attempt to improve folks desires to learn and get instant feedback.

Yeah, I don't rely on it either. It's not that accurate. It goes by the inch per gallon rule to my knowledge, and we all know that's rubbish.....

i use it to get a rough answer of what the stocking is then i use my own knowledge and experience to make the final decision. the software is quite out of date and can be incorrect in some areas. two examples:

1. when i compare a fluval 306 to allpondsolutions 1000EF the 306 is registered as a weaker filter
2. they stock invertebrates such as cherry shrimp and snails almost as they have the same bioload as fish which we all know is incorrect.
