Is there some sort of aquarium size calculator where you choose the stock and it'll tell you how many gallons you need or if you need a long or a tall tank? I think that would be an extremely helpful tool to make sure you don't overstock your tank, especially if it has multiple species in it because I run into the problem where you come across multiple species that need say, 30 gallons, but you don't know exactly how many of each kind you could put in the tank without overstocking. If there is such a thing, please direct me towards it, and if not, somebody get to making one!!
 
You can get part way there using aqadvisor.com. Pick a starting tank size, then pick the fish you want. If the stock % goes too high, pick a larger tank and hit the Update button. Continue until you have a combo you like. Should get you in the ballpark.
