Have you guys tried out the AquaSketcher? It'll be neat to see what you come up with. Maybe try recreating a current scape, and see how it compares to your live scape?

I tried it yesterday and it's really good i found it very easy to use. just didn't like the fact that we can't change que orientation of the hardscape (or maybe i missed that option)

It's very good tool and it helps allot but I think they should add more plant's and hardscape materials...

Thanks.

You are right Pedro the angle of the hardscape objects can't be change. This is because they are not real 3D objects - just 2D images that always face the viewer.

I'm planning on adding more objects (plants, rocks and wood) when I find some time. I hope it will be soon.

you should be able to do everything urself, like shape rocks to the shape that you have.

I like this tool I used it and redid my 125 gal using it, very easy to use. I think it could use more plants and hard scape stuff, but I found some plants that were simaler and used them. I also like the tools on the site as well, all in one place is nice. I say props to whomever made it and is free which is nice also.

Thank you tinkerman!
I'm currently working on a tool for calculating the volume for aquariums of different shapes.
Any ideas of more useful tools?
