Hi,

I am looking for some software that would assist in record keeping of my reef & fw systems. Things like maintenance, ph trends, etc etc. Anyone have an idea what I can get it? Or am I going to have to program this sort of thing myself?

Thanks
Chad

i've been using an excel spreadsheet so far, i know these do exist for palm pilots, but i couldn't find any that were free. i'd be interested to know if there's a commercial piece of software out on this though... we have a few programmers here, maybe a project for a weekend? :smile:

hhehe yeah, I could program it myself but I would rather just get one pre-programmed if possible.. I am sure it is out there somewhere.

I use Aquarix-3.

Reefcon2000 also works pretty good although I could not get it to work consistently with the X10 modules ( but that could be interference in the lines :question: ) ... the tracking part is quite good tho with reminders for maintenance dates and so on

Cheers

Hehe, thats too much work :biggrin: . Besides I would like to graph the PH levels etc. You know pie charts and other non important statistics that just make life fun and interesting :cool:

Exactly! :biggrin: Sometimes you forget to test this or that. Thought maybe some good software would make the tasts a little bit easier.

I can be pretty lazy sometimes.. so a little helpful beep to tell me to get off my butt is nice. :sleeping:
