Hello,

Just wanted to let you know that the AquaSketcher now has a new home on TheAquaTools.com
TheAquaTools.com is my new project. It is actually a collection of tools for the aquarium-keeper.

Let me know what you think. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

hi ofridagan, thanks for the aquatools, i have used them about 5-6 weeks back when i designed my new 1FT.

However i noticed some bugs.
1- Some plants have fixed mini textures and cannot be further downsized.
2- The dimension which i designed the tank was 1FT by 1FT, but i got a rectangulish tank instead of a cube one.
3- The zoom in feature is great, but at times, i couldnt control them and my mouse made a pivoter on the tank centrally.

Overall, i find it really good and it did project the image i wanted for my future tank. Great work.

Thanks for the commments!

1- all plants have a minimum size... I decided the minimum for each plant. If you think some plant need to have a smaller minimum, tell me which one and I'll make it smaller.

2- did you enter the same number in all three dimensions and got a rectangle? that never happened to me... what is your screen resolution?

3- to tell you the truth, I didn't plan to have a zoom feature. it comes with flash player so I'm not surprised it doesn't work properly.

Again, thank you for the time you took to write your comments.

Hi ofridagan, yeah, i have entered the tank dimensions as CM, 30x30x30, but still got rectangular tanks.

Oh i see, the zoom feature is flash based, no wonder it was acting up.

Hello,

Just want to update you on a new, major addition to TheAquaTools.com - the AquaRank.
It's a place to create your own personal page to share your aquarium creations with the world. People can watch, comment and rate your aquariums.
Check out my AquaRank page: http://www.theaquatools.com/aquarank/Ofri-Dagan

The AquaRank is a new "tool" in TheAquaTools.com and it's still improving.
I hope you'll find it useful, post your aquarium and help the AquaRank in becoming a big source of aquarium pictures.
(you need to register to post your aquariums)
Have fun!

Tell me what think.

I remember seeing this last time and was searching for it the last 2 days and here it is!!!

I do not know how far you want to take this as the site seems to have much potential as a practical guide for hobbyist.

It will be great if you could include practical DIY guide for scaping and hardware alike, like diy fans, diy lights.

I have always looked at a picture of a scape and wonder with questions like,"How did he make that bush? just by trimming or is there any other secrets?" or i have seen some scape pictures tha have a very steep slope and wondered how they keep it that way without it levelling out?

Just thinking out loud

Thanks 'newtank' for the good suggestions!
I do intend on continue and develop the site, I try to add new tools that I think might be useful for us, aquarium-keepers.
