Haha, I feel awesome! It told me my filter capacity was 197% and that my tank was only stocked to 68%!:woot:
Is your tank overstocked? check out kool www.aquadvisor.com

It told me my blood parrots were incompatible with my gold barbs and corys and would require 131% of my tank. ( a 55 gallon)
I've used AquaAdvisor but I'm yet to try MOAs.
With AQA, I find that it's great to use percentage instead of saying "you can put a few more" and stuff like that.
I currently have a 38G with 8 Harlequins, 4 Pencilfish, 3 Guppies, 3 Peacock Gudgeons and 2 Honey Gouramies. I typed it all in along with my Rena XP2 and it said around 70%. It was very close to my estimation point. Although, in my set-up I'd probably get away with a few more due to my filtration and the tank's lenght and all that. Also, having a taller take makes it easier to separate my fish.
Yes, not perfect, but it's one of the best starting points. Especially for new hobbyist who are looking for ideas for fish, I'd definetely recommend it. Gives you a widerange of fish and has everything you need taken care of with warnings and other breeding information.
I'll check yours out MOA tonight or tomorrow.

i do regular water changes (approx. every other week, if not more) so do i really need more filtration?
PS sorry if this seems like i am being uptight as i am not about to strap another filter on the back of my 10g tank :raspberry: just wondering where the numbers come from .

Hmmm, I had to substitute Glass catfish for African Stripped Glass cats (about the same size and body mass).
Not sure why the Ctenopoma needs a taller tank - he has 17" of height to play with...and he's definitely not shaped like an angel fish.
Paradisefish seem to do fine with cherry barbs and white clouds in tanks 20 gallon long and above.
Why are they estimating my AC at only 65%?
No calculation for plants (my tank is overflowing with plants - I throw some out weekly).
I guess I see this as OK...definitely a starting point and nothing more...but it still pretty cool.
Warning: African Leaf Fish requires a tank with more height.
Warning: At least 5 x Cherry Barb are recommended in a group.
Warning: Paradise Fish is too aggressive to co-exist with Cherry Barb.
Suggestion: Minimum recommend male to female ratio for Platy is 1:2 (M:F). You will less likely to experience problem if you get even more females.
Note: Clown Pleco needs driftwood.
Recommended temperature range: 73.4 - 77 F. [SIZE=-1][Display in Celsius][/SIZE]
Recommended pH range: 6 - 7.5.
Recommended hardness range: 5 - 12 dH.
Warning: You should add more aquarium filtration capacity.
