Free tank stocking calculator. Enter tank size + species + adult length, get stocking percentage and recommended adjustments. Adapted from the 1-inch-per-gallon rule, weighted by species adult size, bio-load, and territory needs.
This calculator uses industry-standard formulas validated against published reef + freshwater husbandry references. Enter your actual numbers above for results. The output is meant as a starting recommendation - adjust based on your tank's specific bio-load, equipment, and observed parameter trends.
Save the result: screenshot or copy the recommendation. Re-run the calc weekly while you dial in your tank, then move to monthly checks once stable.
