So far, I have received rather significant amount of feedback because of the confusion on how to enter your own tank dimension.

As a short term fix, I've changed the way how tank dimensions work. Now it no longer disables input for the tank dimension (so that you can type your own numbers whenever you want) and "User Defined" item is now at the top of the list so that you can see it easily.

Enjoy!

I'm not sure what you mean. I just tried your combo. Other than the common pleco, bioload-wise, you are ok. Of course, I'm not sure what that "kois" is so I didn't include it. Other warnings seem appropriate given your stock list.

Cool tool. I have a question. The site says a pair of blue rams will out grow my tank. Its an 18 gallon tall, so 20x10x21. I figured with their peaceful temperment and 5-6cm max size I could easily fit a pair in as well as 8-10 neon tetras. I also have a penguin 125 thats not on the list. What do you think?

Can you also add some more tank shapes and sizes? how about more bowfronts, hexes, flat-back hexagonal, and corner tanks. I have a 40 gal flat-back hexagonal tank, and cant really use your tool with it.

Typically, I recommend a tank with a footprint of at least 24x12 for Blue Rams but yours is fairly close. Bioload wise, you are ok but at the limit. I would go for it if it was up to me but with a back up plan in just in case. Do you have other tanks?

I don't have any other tanks at the time. I need to pick up a 6 gallon iso tank (that will fit inside my current stand) by the time my tank finishes cycling (and cycle that tank) before adding the tetras.
