Ah! I see _you're_ the perpetrator of that outrageous "Pond size
calculator". Do you guarantee to replace the koi people buy from you
when they die of anoxia?


It is a very lovely site in many other ways. Perhaps you could point the
designer (who may be programming wise and fish foolish) in the right
direction for finding the proper information. They did after all ask for
our help in finding errors which shows they want to do this right.


I did. In another thread, I explained why, mathematically, it was foolish,
and the far more reasonable "1000 gallons for the first koi" rule of thumb.
Beyond that, I'm not aware of a good bio-load calculator. Anyone else have
an idea?

I _really_ think someone who would publish this sort of thing - and then USE
IT to advise posters on rec.ponds - should be drawn and quartered, but I
was prepared just to get a little snitty :-)
