Saltwater version of AqAdvisor - stocking calculator

[yhbae]

Hi guys,

As some of you may know already, I have been working hard on the freshwater version for more than a year. Since couple of weeks ago, I have started working on the saltwater version and it has gone live recently. It contains rather limited set of species and many important features are missing (sumps, filtration, etc).

It is also heavily based on the freshwater version so some elements may be out of place. Just as it happened for the freshwater version, this version will evolve rapidly and it will be heavily based on user opinions. So if you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know! Also, don't be afraid to point out problems on the app - I'd rather address those.

Please see the next message for the details of the recent release.

Thanks!

Pretty nice app there! DB needs a lot more commonly kept reef fish, more wrasse, cardinals, etc.
