Yes, do you want to use a PC or phone?

Aquarium note and Aquaimate are two I've used.

I was looking for phone. I use IOS. It would be nice to keep everything in one spot since i have an app for my lights as well. I will have to check out the ones you sent. Thank you

This is what I have within an excel spreadsheet if it’s any use to you. I also have a bit for hot tub maintenance at the bottom! Lol
It’s very simple, works from iCloud, and well makes everything clear because time flies by and it’s amazing how long it can be between tasks!

I just staryed using Aquarium Note, it seems it is slightly more geared towards freshwater but you can easily customize it for salty too.
I suggest you dont use the "expenses" part of the app, i almost had a heart attack after compiling all my purchases and seeing the total ;Greedy

Never used AquaticLog but I use Fusion. Works well enough and its worth it just to have everything in one place.
I used Aquarimate for a good year or so and it’s a pretty helpful app, used it a lot, was great going from paper to mobile early in the hobby....I do use an app called “Pocket Marine” now though, I am the creator so will always be biased but it’s used by lots globally, so like to think it’s very useful for us reef addicts

This is what my calendar is showing in Aquarimate.
It says it is the 12th, but it thinks it is monday
So apparently mine does the same thing, I just went based off dates and didn’t look at the day of the week. It shouldn’t affect anything as I use mine for reminders and it always comes up correctly on the right day. I submitted feedback on it so maybe it will get fixed.
Here is what I did:
I filled all the cracks and imperfections on the inside portion of the door to my sump/stand. I bought a whiteboard kit from home depot. Painted it with the kit and now use a red whiteboard marker. I created boxes using pin striping from an auto parts store.
I tried the app, but when I am messing with my tank, my hands are generally wet and I don't want to mess with my phone when my hands are wet.

I just started searching googling and came across one on another reef forum. Its and excel or office template and does way more then I could ever use. Here is the link I tried to upload here but wont allow me to. Hope that help! http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=24142322&postcount=1051
That spreadsheet is probably the most useful one I’ve come across, very well made whoever created that....
Completely understand the wet hands issue too, these touch screens barely work with a tiny drop of water on them let alone a wet thumb....
But I do believe these sort of apps are generally used to fill in after performing maintenance with dry hands though, more of a keep everything in one place no matter where you go as we basically live in an era where mobiles are glued to us now days anyway.
We have a few users that have iPads fixed to the front of their tanks in heavy duty cases so essentially doing the same thing as a whiteboard but on a device I guess.
