MossPearl: The arithmetic of a planted tank
Eight free browser calculators help planted-aquarium keepers work out tank volume, CO₂, fertilizer doses, lighting, RO water and nano stocking.
- For
- Planted-aquarium keepers checking tank calculations
- Worth noticing
- The volume calculator subtracts the rim gap, sloped substrate and rock from box dimensions when estimating usable tank volume.
Field notes
The calculators cover volume, CO₂, dry salts, two dosing schedules, liquid fertilizers, light, RO remineralization and nano-fish stocking. The page says each tool runs in the browser, prints its calculation steps and ends with dated sources; it also carries the tank-volume result and unit preference across tools. References named on the homepage include USGS, NIST, IUPAC, Virginia Cooperative Extension and fish profiles from Seriously Fish. Results are framed as estimates, not substitutes for tank-specific judgment.
