Anyone else keeping a long history of your testing results?

Yep I have a notebook and an app on my phone. I dont use the app very much but everything goes in the notebook.

Started logging mine on paper since I started my tank last summer. I now log my results into apex fusion every Saturday


That's pretty cool to see your tank history going back that far

it’s more about stability with tests for me, I can then adjust dosing along with reminders so I can remember to do everything maintenance wise on a regular basis

YES!

I have only been doing this a few months and I am surprised more people don't talk more about parameter changes as opposed to values. Seems every "hey I have a problem" thread starts with "what are your parameters?" with less consideration for what has changed.

Yeah that's a big deal for sure - every time I've had trouble in my tank that wasn't bug related it had to do with a big swing in one or more parameters.
It's funny, you can see how in my testing I honestly am not that stable when it comes to things like alk - but my test results rarely change more than 1dKH in a week and my tank does great despite ranging in alk from 7 - 9.5 ish month to month.
