Maintainance app, or pen and paper?
Hi all,
I'm starting early on my new years resolution to get more organized with my tank. I've had good intentions to record tests, w/c, etc but have failed to be consistent with any record keeping. Does anyone have a suggestion for an app that might expidite this, or should I just stick with a notebook? Thanks, Ian

I use an app called 'aquaplanner pro'. Has alerts, reminders, graphs all your data. I like it. It does everything I need it to. And it saves to the cloud, so I can use it across multiple devices.

Guess it's pen and paper for me
I wrote an Excel log/spreadsheet and use it all the time I print off blank sheets and they pile up until I transfer them to a storage binder ...... I record every test, additions/deaths, lighting changes, dosing changes, water changes, changed a brand of product I find it very useful when looking back to source issues It's also helpful just for the fact that I can date when I did 'what' with bulbs, dosing changes, whatever What buckets of salt I used, batch #s .... The uses are endless Last edited by gregzz4; 12-18-2014 at 04:31 AM.

I use a spreadsheet as well. Started it years ago as an Excel document. Recently bit the bullet & bought a new notebook since the old one was still running XP & the nagging end of support pop ups finally made me crumble. Don't have the latest version of MS Office, so decided to upload the document to Google sheets, since I have a Google+ account. Bit of a learning curve but functions much the same. A little nervous of having it on the 'cloud', but I back it up to a local drive from time to time.
It's grown into quite a complex thing with 12 different sheets covering everything from water changes, water tests, cost of hardware/livestock, electrical components & power consumption, LED specs, RODI gallons produced & filter changes.... the list goes on. Even have a sheet for calculating various conversions. Here's a screenshot made some time ago.  Should anyone be interested, I can save a copy & link to a shared version to download or use as you wish although it may be confusing. There are no instructions & will probably be difficult to figure out everything I've done. I don't consider myself to be a computer geek, but I did get fairly proficient as an MS Office user in my previous line of work.
