calculators

[Paul_N]

Rev,
Is there any chance of getting a section with useful calculators on it like the "other place" has? That and the for sale forum is the only reason I even go there at all. We could also add a couple like carbonate hardness (dkh to ppm) and measurement conversions.

I think this would be a great asset to the site!!

Here is a couple I use all on one page:
Quick Calculator for Aquariums

Maybe if he goes forward with it we can have everyone put in suggestions for different calcs or just tables of info. I would volunteer to help update or anything else needed.
The only thing I wasn't aware of is if there was any kind of intellectual property rights issues for the calculators out there for the programming behind it.

I will host the rimless aquarium glass thickness calculator on my page if anyone starts this section.

I would love to add it and will. I just need somebody that knows how to get these codes up and going. Anybody?

Hmmm I guess we need a java programmer...definitely not me:sad:

I might have to get a "Java for dummies" book or "learn Java in 24hrs"

Although I would probably need the "Java for freakin' morons" book..:tongue:

I have my java books from school sitting in my house dave

Most people know this one but just in case:

Reef Chemistry Calculator

I have Sanjay's flow calculator which is very thorough but would be difficult to code into java (I think). It is in Excel and I can't even get the macros to work right so I have to fudge it a bit.

I need to do it the other way, [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ppm[/FONT] to [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]dKH. I always use [/FONT]SaltyZoo's Alkalinity Reading Conversion (meq/l / dKH / ppm CaCO3) Utility

That is a good one. I used that often when I set my system up. Even if we can't find someone to program maybe just have all the links in one spot for us to access.
