let me know if the font size is any better yet.
Jose, thanks for those.how do they differ from the RC calculators? I haven't had chance to try them out yet.
RC does not have calculators for Reef Chemistry nor for Calcium Reactor setup. RC's calculator for volume only handles rectangular tanks without consideration to the rest of the system nor to the amount of rock or sand. while the one you will be linking too can handle 13 diferent aquarium shapes plus sump, refugium, frag tank and so.
By the way a couple of tips on font size:
Due to the lack of discipline and standards in the industry different browsers and computers may handle fonts differently or may not have the required font available at all. To make it worst the client can setup the font to different sizes directly in the browser options this might drive you crazy trying to please every one but there are some alternatives
You could either:
a) If you are using stylesheets / CSS use the CSS to define the font as a % rather than PX (pixels) or absoulute size (1,2,3 etc.) that will set the font size to a % of whatever the client has the browser font set at.
Also in case the particular font you are designing for is not available in the client's browser, you can set more than one font face type. Use commas like <font face="helvetica, sans-serif, impact"> in this case if helvetica is not available the browser will default to your next setting (sans-serif) in this case.
b) Setup your screen design to the most popular size (1024x768) and set the view text to the mid range size, that will cover most clients. Those clients using higher resolution will either prefer to see more of the page at once anyhow or know how to reset their font for larger size with a couple of clicks from the mouse. You can also add a note saying something like
"this site is better viewed at 1024 x 768 resoulution"
c) A pain in the butt but if you are really into it (I was never that good) you can set up instructions to identify the browser the client is using and it's corresponding screen resolution and using instructions for the particular browser you can setup the table size to fill in the screen width.
Keep up the good work and enjoy it while you are at it.
