Off topic post, recently a bit active in shoot photos more than aquascape. The reason why I do that is to understand the nature, like Mr Takashi Amano does. So is a helpful skill to develop our aquascaping and some nature behaviour. The place I am staying has such a limited stone scape, but worth for deep in study of the formation. If you like my newly developing skill, please drop a 'LIKE' on my link. Thank you very much.

Under testing of the new chemical dosage calculator

Just redo the chemical dosage calculator, need to run some test before sharing to people. Perhaps if you have some ideas (see from picture), please suggest it to me, thank you.


Initially another dosage calculator was shared by a friend, I found it completely too complicate to use, that's how this dosage calculator was created by me. The first version is very simple and created in year 2007, and no improvement since 2008. This new calculator is the 8th generation, still has some room to get improve. After a few test on it, will upload it for sharing.
