What device and what browser are you using to try and access the community creator? Could you send some screenshots so we can try and diagnose the problem for you?

What calculator did you use to work out the tank volume? I would probably go with less than the manufacturers stated volume of anything, not more. Generally we take 10% off the volume to account for the substrate, rocks, wood, plants, filter, heater which all go in the tank.

Don't forget that with tank volume you have to have an air space on top of the water. But it is more common for tank manufacturers to give the amount of space the tank takes up rather than the amount of water it can hold - they include that air gap and the thickness of the glass in their volume. And some 55 litre tanks (I'm thinking on a certain Aqua One tank) has a section at the back for the filter which isn't included in the tank volume.


In addition to Matt's question about your browser etc, how are you accessing the community creator, via the fish profiles or a link?

I am using a P.C. With Chrome. I accessed the community page via link on home page, logged in to save it not sure if it did. My tank is a 40cm 55L cube Aqua nano tank. I used the calculator for square rectangular tanks put the measurements in and it said my capacity was 64L, but the manufactures say it's 55 L.

I think this tank has an integrated filter in the back which the manufacturer has not included the volume for in their the tank volume calculations. Is this correct does it have a filter compartment at the back?

No I have been out and had a look at tanks I can definitely say I have a Aqua aspire 55L tank, there is no filter system with it as I bought it second hand, so the hand book they gave me is the wrong one so I am now going to look for the correct book and what I can find out about this tank. We have had no luck so far finding a unit for it to stand on most I have seen have been wide enough but not deep enough. Think we are going to have a look to IKEA on Wednesday as have an idea of how to get the look I want. B.

Hmmm, that tank doesn't appear to be on Aqua One's website. However google does give some images and it looks like just a glass box with nothing dividing off one side. The images also show an internal filter that seems to be corner shaped - is this the tank you have?

How strange that the manufacturer would understate the tank size... that said 39 x 39 x 37 xm gives 56 litres and this possibly wouldnt be a bad guesstimate of the tanks actual water holding capacity.  Only way to test for sure is to measure water in until you reach you desired water level.

Now to see if we can get you going on the community creator... @Robert might be able to help??

Barbara, how exactly have you been accessing the Community Creator?

The simplest way to do it is to click on Fish Profiles in the top menu, then hover over a category go down to the fish you want and click on it. Then scroll down to the bottom of the profile, fill in the tank data and click on save/update. Then at the bottom of the fish blurb, click on add this fish to my tank.Then use the up/down buttons to change the number of fish.
You can save your virtual tank but you need to register then log in separately from the forum.
