k8nabel Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 What apps are folks using and liking to track their tanks? I’m using aquarium log and it isn’t as intuitive and easy to navigate as I would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacah Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I have fairly basic needs, I just log pH/GH/KH, so found a simple spreadsheet is perfect for my tanks. What type of things do you log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take photos from time totime and can see how growth progresses over time… I keep GH at 5 degrees give or take, KH at 2 degrees. My CO2 injected tanks are kept at 30 ppm nitrates and my non CO2 injected tanks are kept at around 10 ppm… I dont bother with PH levels on the CO2 injected tanks as they see weekly 75% water changes. My non injected tanks get a weekly ph check. If PH starts to trend below 6.6, I do a 25% water change to raise it back up to around 7.0… Pretty much I know how my tanks will react over time… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woowala Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I basically do the same. A small notebook for water chemistry stuff- test results, how much of x per gallon raises y by z amount, stuff like that. And a dry erase board for more general notes that I take a pic of when it gets filled before erasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Haven’t tried this yet. Was given to me at Chicago aquashella. Aquabuildr.com , comes with one free tank, then can add tanks for a subscription or by tank fee. Going to try it on my 75g I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravelle Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 The JBL water testing app is quite handy as you can save the results and label them by tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Cruiser Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Aquarium Note 2. The free version is pretty useful. You can list multiple tanks, track parameters over time, add photos, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameisnobody Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Personally, this can be convenient and it can also be a nightmare. I’ll go old school and use pen and notebook. I’ll always know where it is and I’ll never loose it. From my perspective, it seems like a distraction. I’d rather spend my time watching my aquariums than documenting its parameters. Seems dramatic and unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
