Tools & Calculators

All calculators are powered by Cloudflare Workers — calculations run server-side for accuracy and security. No formulas are exposed in your browser.

Ammonia Toxicity Calculator

Calculate free ammonia (NH₃) from TAN, pH, and temperature. Compare against EPA criteria and koi-specific thresholds.

Pond Volume Calculator

Calculate pond volume for rectangular, oval, kidney, and irregular shapes with varying depth zones.

Stocking Density Calculator

Determine safe fish load based on pond volume, filtration capacity, and growth projections.

Coming Soon

Filter Sizing Calculator

Size your biological and mechanical filtration based on pond volume, fish load, and feeding rate.

Coming Soon

Pump Sizing Calculator

Calculate required GPH based on head height, pipe diameter, and target turnover rate.

Coming Soon

Salt Dosage Calculator

Calculate salt needed for tonic, parasite treatment, nitrite detox, or salt dips — with dosing schedules and safety guidance.

Water Temperature Map

Real-time water temperatures across the US from USGS, NOAA, and USACE stations with koi feeding zone overlays.

Coming Soon

Turnover Risk Index

Assess pond turnover risk based on depth, temperature differential, wind exposure, and aeration status.
