I have all these records, and was just trying to figure out if there was really a point to keeping it since I seldom ever look back at them. I know where I want my parameters to be, and recognize a deviance from them readily.
Sounds like I'm on the same page as most with my record keeping. I too kept a detailed log at first, just hand written. Now I have a simple spreadsheet in MS Excel that I keep track of my water parameters and basic maintenance. I have been keeping my bulb changes noted in there now too. I have looked at a couple of programs, but they seemed to difficult to setup and not entirely suited to what I want anyway. I have been considering going automated with a controller someday when I feel rich enough. Then I might use the data logging to track the monitored parameters if only because it would be simple(r) to do.
