Hello aquatic fans,
I would like to share with You my own Freshwater aquarium fertilizing calculator . Let's check some screenshots below.
Of course, there exists IFC Aquarium Fertilizer Calculator on this forum, which I like a lot. It inspires me to finish mine as well, having slightly different approach.
I would say, this tool is for moderate to advanced users in fertilizing.
Disclaimer:
This calculator is a tool that calculates the concentrations of stock solutions and their effect on the stetted up tank. Also checking the safety factor and glass thickness of the tank. Those who use this tool to adjust tank fertilization and doublecheck aquarium glass thickness act at their own risk. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and consider factors like plants selection, the maintenance method, the light intensity and duration, and many others.

Background:
This is Excel-based calculator initially created for my personal use, mostly to compare mine DIY fertilizers with my friends. Later also with commercially available products. Its first version was created in 2012. I spent years by adding features and improvements to these days look and features. My personal background is electrical engineering. So first revisions were double-checked by "martin_s" with chemical background, at local aquatic forum akva.sk in my country. Later revisions was checked by local community and with other available tools.
I stopped counting how many hours I spent on this tool. It would be pitty to keep it for my own. My payoff is your feedback and improvements inputs.
