Best app/program for logging reef aquarium Parameters??

RSlayer · 04/28/2015, 03:39 PM

Hello all,

I'm looking for an app or program for android/mac to log my parameters. There's a few out there and I was curious to know if anyone has used any of them and/or has any recommendations. Thanks in advance!

If you have Apex you can use their fusion web site.

I use Aquarimate on my phone to track.

Come join the community there. You can set up a basic free account to try it out. It was built by a local(Toronto) Reefer and is really well thought out. One great part is being able to check out other's tanks.

here's mine:

havent tried the others but "Aquarium Note" is nice with parameter graphs, notes on live stock (acquire date, price etc) and hardware. You can also set up several tank profiles too. I think its new and I have only used it a few times, but I can see me liking it.

I use aquatic log. Straight forward and has plenty of options.

Nevermind - just realized you don't put it in sig, just insert it into your post!

I'm a data geek and I too designed my own spreadsheet with Excel. Multiple tabs for different stats and categories

Upper left of your main page there is a drop down menu and just click Forum Signature. There you can copy/paste the link they give you.

Thanks a bunch guys!!!!

I've been checking out all recommendations and I narrowed them down to Aquaticlog and Aquarimate. These seem to be the most in depth, and will work great for my geeking out!

I'm building a new 90gal aquarium and I really wanted something to track everything from the day its born..

Thanks for all your help!
