Spreadsheet for aquarium testing

Fishinabarrel · Mar 9, 2021

Wow, lots of naysayers. This is a great set of sheets! Everybody, copy it and tweak it to your desire. My version will have a column to record all of the mistakes I make. #skippedWaterChangeThisWeek

I am personally very appreciative that OP put this together and had the generosity to share with the rest of us. I am not a spreadsheet person. Heck, I spent 40 minutes trying to change the Celsius drop downs to Fahrenheit before I got tired and went to bed last night. This would have taken me weeks to do! It has been on my to do list for 2 years. I can adjust my "recommended" parameters as I see fit - even if I may be measuring temp in C for another two years until I figure it out. LOL
@Valum I give you my gratitude. You are a prince among reefers.

Hay man. Looks good. I'm a spreadsheet guy and your is purty! You can always let people modify the limits or baselines - easy to do. I see no issue using published parameters and you disclosed it. Thanks for contributing.

Yeh exactly, I've done my best to source parameters there are going fluctuations in people's opinions and I appreciate hearing them at the end of the day it about stability not chasing numbers

I thank you for sharing your work. If people don't want to use it, they don't have to. Keep on reefing.

This is really nice! Thank you for sharing.

I appreciate the effort and willingness to share with the community. Of course the reefing wizards came out to tell you how it was done wrong

dead_goby · Mar 10, 2021

Thank you. Curious what do you call the chart that lists the baseline? Is there a name for that specific type of visual?

I never claimed it to be fact, I simply referenced where I obtained my data and did multiple searches and that's all I could find sadly I don't have a degree to be able to decode scientific papers or where to find them, while I appreciate your feedback it would be nice if you could reference your source for this value you have obtained

It's the best I could find, if you can source anything from any scientific body I will spend time to read it and adjust my values accordingly

I never claim to know anything for certain there's always the risk of incorrect data testing ect, I just go with what I believe untill something seems more logical and conclusive to change my views

I’ve shared this exact link 1000’s of times over the years .
a good reference .

I downloaded and played around with it, very useful thanks. I was just teasing with the elements earlier

To all those who criticised this guy, why dont you come up with something better to share with us all?

Its called constructive criticism, its very helpful in making something better. Or we could let everything be as is even if its wrong.

It is a nice chart for those that want to use it.
I was only pointing out fact.
You dont need to read any scientific papers to find what the average alk of the ocean is.
Its not you.
Many fish and coral sellers including places manufacturing product for the reefing community continuously post things that are incorrect.
Just like the one you posted from.
It only hurts the hobby.
Then people follow them like gospel.
I am sorry if it came out the wrong way as that is not what I intended.
Peace.

AquaticLog iOS 9.8.5

AquaticLog iOS 9.8.5. is now out.

This release is a big one and fixes the issue that has been plaguing the app for the longest time - in some circumstances you had to login every time you opened the app, which is a bad user experience.

This issue has been identified and fixed - all of the authentication had to be rewritten from scratch.

The new app is now available in the App Store, please let me know of you run into any issues. I've already found a small bug where you'd get a login window if you launch the app and there's no network connection. Working on a fix for it in 9.8.6 available shortly.
