    Stocking Calculator

    How come when I add a certain amount of fish to a 37 gallon, it says its stocked 161%, but if you add just 3 gallons, to a 40 gallon, the stocking percentage is 90%. How does 3 gallons make that big of a difference?

    can water changes be bad?

    I've read that when you do a large water change it can get rid of the beneficial bacteria. I thought the bacteria lived in the filter and stuff, not the water.
