iOS app for tracking aquarium

mikee002 · Sep 10, 2018

any specific iOS apps recommended for tracking and managing your reefs? There was a good one I used to use on Android, but I don’t remember the name.

I’d be looking for...
Manual parameter results entry/tracking
Reminders for maintenance tasks
Logs of when livestock, etc was added

Thanks

I used to use Aquarimate. It has been a while, but it was pretty solid. App is free, although 1 'premium' feature requires a 10 buck per year subscription, but it is completely optional.

i second this app. I use it and love it. you can add all the fish and corals to it from its built in database and the date you added it as well as attaching a picture to it

I use aquarimate as well

Yeah, it looks great. Doesn’t seem to be free anymore... but $10/yr isn’t bad

The Aquarimate is great, you can track parameters, set up task list with reminders and also has a place to document your tanks progress including photos.. unfortunately I’m to lazy to keep up with it and rarely test for anything after tank cycles and stabilizes.

I use Aquarimate, and think it's great! I think it's a one time payment, not a yearly subscription. I forget how much, but I use it ALL the time.

Aquarimate! I also use it to keep track of other chores around the house

I downloaded mine the other day and it was free. I must have gotten to it before they raised it. mine was free but it says if I want the premium I have to pay but it doesn't make me

Just getting into reefing, is it better/easier to use an app then making my own templet and tracking it on paper?

a spreadsheet works fine, but the app allows for pictures, time stamps, tracking, and so much more in a much easier manner, I think.

Are they charging an upfront cost now? (I can't see it, having downloaded it before). If they are, then it must not be free, and then on top of that there is the completely optional 10/year subscription. I think the subscription gets you more than 100mb cloud storage and syncing across multiple devices, if you want those features. Otherwise, don't have to pay that.
