the sand bed calculator doesn't work

What browser are you using?

It works for me...you need to enter the Length in inches under "enter values here'
and with width of the tank, also in inches
then the depth you want the sand bed to be
Beneath that you need to enter either 70 or 90 depending on which type of sand you are using.
Then hit 'calculate'
poof..you get the # of pounds required

You're right :irked:

Either way, very nicely done. I like the tab interface. As always, this site is very up to date with it's web-tech.

 

[Josh]

Please PM me if you have any suggestions for additional calculators.

Thanks.

look cool. its going to scare a lot of people with the electric lol, but better to be expected then start a tank and realize the electric goes up and up and up. Dont show that part to the wife's

 

[Killerdrgn]

Just a suggestion but you should either highlight the fields that need to be filled out, have the text box there, or change the colors so people will know what areas to fill out.
I use IE 6 and 7.
Didn't see that I had to enter a value for sand bed weight. Or you should have default values filled into the text areas showing already.

It won't because there are many hidden cost not accounted in this calculator like taxes, surcharges, delivery charges .... LOL

Also many people actually have fans, and heater too not covered in this version

 

[Keith P]

LAso many peoploe actualy have ans, and heater too not covered in this version

true. it would be nice to be able to add more lines and save your results for later. yes, i know this is asking a lot...

 

[Josh]

You can add as many lines as you want, just scroll down to the bottom. No way to save the results yet.

next step should be a calculator for additives.

We're one step ahead of you.

 

[alrha]
