Favorite Reefing app?

[Daniel]

Another user of Aquarimate here - tried ReefTrace (which I liked as well), but I find myself using Aquarimate more. None of the apps are perfect, but this one is "good enough"!

Aquarimate does all that.

I looked into it recently and was not willing to try it since about half of the most recent reviews were 1*. Sounds like from a support perspective the app has been abandoned.

I've been using Aquaticlog for a while now and really like it. I used a spreadsheet before, but I like the fact that I can put everything like testing, dosing, maintenance, timers, notepad, etc. into one app that I can access on multiple devices and it's with me whenever I need it (trips to the lfs). Oh and it's FREE!!!

Aquarium Note for logs and Kasa for my Smart Strips.

I use Google Sheets with a folder in Google Drive for pictures, then link pictures of 'updates' to entries. On my freshwater tanks I get pictures of growth weekly, but on my saltwater tank it's every two weeks. Been neat for salt so far when I could see diatoms start popping up around the time my cycle was locked in, or when the charts show my nitrates start to drop when corals started to be added.

What’s your favorite app that you use to maintain your aquarium? Searching the App Store there seem to be a ton of apps for keeping aquariums but want to know if you use any of them?

I would love to find an app that could store my maintenance reminders, historical testing readings, and maybe be able to store images for tracking growth?

Mobius. Hanfjes lights power heads and submersible punks. Now I need to find the Ecotech Versa. Can never find in stock.

+1 for Aquarium Note. I really like that I can look at graphs of each parameter and see the trends over long periods of time. Plus I set reminders for all sorts of maintenance items and dosing. I've been using it for almost 3 years and have no complaints.

Pocket Marine! Gives basic info about many fish and it is easy to log your tests.

@JumpingFlea I just downloaded this too and really like it. Lots of fun and info on species.

A long time ago my mom got me a 365 days of reefing log book when I first got started. Has pages laid out for notes, journal entries and parameters, dosing, lighting.. I have been getting them every year since.

@Arego had a similar or same book about 20 years ago. Before smart phones !!!

Aquarimate for me. Great way to track test result and it has built in timers. I actually downloaded a couple of similar apps and this one was the best.

@PapaPat had this app a few years ago but lost it when switching my email address. Can’t get a new account, tried getting ahold of them. Are they out of business?

I see a lot of people are using Aquarium Notes. This must be different than Aquarium Notes 2. The latter has a copyright of 2021 and only 2 reviews. Anyone?

I'm looking for an app too. Downloaded Aquarium Note, and it looks decent, but decided to also try Aquarium Note 2. I almost feel like the newer version is too "busy" for my liking... the original version is simpler. I plan to test a few out over the weekend, including both of these, and see which I like the best. (I also keep an actual aquarium log book AND an excel spreadsheet for my tank, but I like the idea of an app for setting reminders, etc and quickly looking things up or adding photos).

Nope I use the app every week. I actually downloaded a couple to try and found this to be the best one.
