I'm not sure, but if you're somewhat computer savvy, you can set something up in Excel and create your own graphs.

yup easily done on Excel, but i prefer a written note pad, its easier to look at and easy to get hold of in an emergency situation, i always log all test results, dates of any changes etc, if things go wrong you can look back through your own handwriting.

yep there are some online you can print out. here is one for reef tank maintenance http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-excl...-schedule.aspx

Just create one in Microsoft Excel. Easily customizeable, and you can do it at work as well. You can also sync to Google's systems and edit from there.

Personally, I'm on the hunt for an iPad app for this. I would really like something that I can also use to track things like dates I add livestock, where they are purchased from, and prices of both livestock and gear. Be useful to track lightbulbs and have automatic reminders for when to change those things like bulbs, filter media, etc.

agree easy to do in Excel that way can have the fields you want

You could get "numbers" for IPad. It's Apples spreadsheet software. It is very customizable and works great on Ipad.

sn4265 · 10/19/2010, 06:30 PM

Yeah, I'm really hoping for something more specific and full featured. I would like an app that will graph any specific parameters that I choose. I think Numbers can do this, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to handle the bulb/filter change alerts.

I am Excel stupid (among other things). Does anyone have an Excel spreadsheet they'd like to share? Thanks!

Check this free online reef log: myreefstats.com HERE

Though I do use the good old notebook and pencil (old school lab geek), then I later update reef stats if I want charts and stuff.
