## What is Reef Trak?

Reef Trak is an all-in-one reef tank manager for reef keepers who want more than a basic parameter log.

Track water parameters, plan dosing, schedule maintenance, manage livestock, save photos, build PAR maps, import controller data, track expenses, and create reports across iOS and the web.

Build a complete reef care history, then export real tank data to AI tools with TrakAI.

FREE TO START. ONE-TIME PREMIUM UPGRADE.
Reef Trak includes a free version with parameter tracking and core reef tank tools. Reef Trak Premium is available as a one-time upgrade. No monthly subscription. No yearly subscription. Pay once and use Premium tools without another recurring app bill.

PARAMETERS
Track alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, phosphate, salinity, temperature, pH, ORP, iodine, potassium, trace elements, and other reef tank parameters. Follow trends, spot drift, review stability, and see clear in-range or out-of-range indicators.

DOSING
Plan and track two-part, All-For-Reef, kalkwasser, trace elements, supplements, and custom routines. Use manual and guided dosing tools, bottle tracking, dose logging, reminders, and parameter connections to keep dosing tied to your real tank history.

MAINTENANCE
Create recurring tasks for water changes, filter swaps, probe calibration, dosing reminders, equipment checks, deep cleans, and custom care routines. Use weekly, fortnightly, monthly, yearly, every N days, or specific weekday schedules. Home screen widgets help show what is due today.

LIVESTOCK
Catalog fish, coral, and inverts with photos, care notes, acquisition history, tank placement, and long-term records.

PAR MAPS
Capture PAR readings across your reef tank and map them visually to understand coral placement, lighting coverage, and tank zones.

TRAKTONE PHOTO & VIDEO CORRECTION
Reef lighting can make photos and videos look far more blue than they appear in person. TrakTone helps correct reef tank photos and videos so corals, fish, and aquascapes look closer to what your eyes see.

EQUIPMENT, EXPENSES & RECEIPTS
Track equipment, food, dosing products, livestock purchases, maintenance costs, and other reef expenses. Receipt Scan Assist helps turn receipts into structured expense records.

CONTROLLER IMPORTS & ICP TESTING
Bring reef tank data into Reef Trak from supported controllers and testing systems, including Apex, Trident, and more. Track ICP results and keep lab testing connected to your tank history.

EMAIL UPDATES
Get reef-themed tank summary emails to stay connected to what is happening across your tanks, especially when managing multiple aquariums.

REPORTS & AI EXPORTS
Export parameter summaries, dosing logs, maintenance history, livestock notes, and other tank records in formats ready for AI tools.

PRIVACY & DATA CONTROL
Your tanks are your data. Reef Trak does not run ads and does not sell reef hobbyist data. Your reef records are protected with encryption on your device and on our backend. Free CSV export lets you take your tank history wherever you need it.

Reef Trak is actively developed with frequent updates shaped by the reefkeeping community.

### 5/5 — If you have a Reef Tank, you NEED this app!

*2026-06-08*

I’m beyond blown away, the thought behind this app is insane. Clean interface, sooo many useful tools. Manage your water parameters, built in AI to help during rough times, par estimator, categorize your fish, coral, inverts… complicated names are hard to remember, why not put them in an app. $10, are you kidding me?!? Just buy the premium features!

**Developer response:** Thank you Chad! I’ll let you in on a little secret I built the app at first for me. Every time I went to do something I was like oh, I should add that too. Then other reefers joined in and everyone has been so great suggesting things I may have missed it’s been a true community project. Thanks again!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.9 — 2026-08-26

Reef Trak 2.3.9

A larger update focused on reliability and connected devices.

• Home Assistant: smoother pairing, easier to reach, clearer device browsing
• Safer, more reliable syncing with new protections for your tank data
• Custom parameter ranges save more reliably and stay with the right tank
• Find invertebrates by common name, species name or synonyms
• ICP reports import in more languages
• More fixes and refinements throughout Reef Trak

### 2.3.8 — 2026-08-12

Reef Trak 2.3.8

Parameter ranges are no longer forced to be the same across every tank.

• Share ranges between tanks of the same water type, keeping saltwater and freshwater separate
• Give each individual tank its own parameter ranges

Your existing ranges stay exactly as they are until you make a choice. Parameter Range settings have also moved to Tank → Parameters, putting them right where you need them.

• Oceamo ICP imports are working again, including reports that previously failed because of differences between Oceamo report formats.
• TrakAI trend indicators are now more accurate, so arrows and numerical changes always agree.
• TrakAI trends now clearly show the date range being analyzed.
• Fixed an iOS issue where notes entered for a previous date could appear under today's Activity Log.
• Fixed Home Assistant devices occasionally remaining visible after an installation was revoked.
• Fixed some shared Reef Trak pages displaying a blank screen.
• Fixed an issue where a coral photo could disappear after editing a coral without making any changes.
• Improved ICP lab selection so Oceamo / Reef Moonshiner is easier to identify.
• Additional navigation, stability, and reliability fixes across Reef Trak.

### 2.3.7 — 2026-08-05

Reef Trak 2.3.7

Two powerful new features, plus important fixes.

• TrakShare: share your tank, fish, corals, or invertebrates as a designed card. When asking for help, include selected water parameters right on the card, so other reefers see the numbers they always ask for first.

• Every share gets its own Reef Trak page with likes, comments, and replies, and you receive an email when someone comments on your post.

• Home Assistant Bridge (Premium): connect your Home Assistant securely and watch live equipment status, animated device cards, seven-day graphs, and energy statistics inside Reef Trak. Monitoring only, it cannot control your equipment.

• Move corals and invertebrates between tanks while keeping photos, history, and purchase information.

• Share directly from the tank screen.

• Fixed missing fish, invertebrate, and coral catalog images, restores repeatedly running at launch, and ICP imports not saving correctly.

### 2.3.6 — 2026-07-30

Reef Trak 2.3.6

Safer dosing, new calculators, and clearer daily guidance.

• Safer dosing guidance: Reef Trak remembers what you dosed in the last 24 hours, so a second low test the same day won't trigger another full correction.

• Improved adaptive dosing: verified nutrient products use hold-at-target guidance again, and HOLD tasks say clearly when to skip a dose.

• Guided DIY dosing: baking soda, soda ash, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride, with accurate calculations and safety warnings.

• New All-For-Reef calculator: your daily dose from tank volume, with the starting dose, weekly increase and maximum.

• seneye support: import temperature, pH and free ammonia automatically, and capture measured PAR onto your PAR Map.

• Controller Pulse widgets: connection status, uptime and plain-English tank insights on your Home Screen.

• Today in Your Tank: a short daily brief of what needs attention, or a reassuring "No action needed."

• Events on parameter charts: see doses, water changes and maintenance alongside your readings.

• Easier fish transfers, plus fixes: deleted tanks no longer return through sync, clearer photo guidance, and a much smaller download.

### 2.3.5 — 2026-07-23

Reef Trak 2.3.5

New: Tank Insights

Your aquarium records can now tell a more complete story.

From your tank dashboard, swipe left to open Tank Insights. This new interactive view brings together recent testing, feeding, dosing, maintenance, water changes, equipment activity, and other recorded events to help you understand what has been happening throughout your aquarium.

Tank Insights can show:

• A summary of recent activity across your tank
• Testing frequency and the latest recorded values
• Parameter stability and developing trends
• Feeding activity compared with previous weeks
• Completed, paused, and overdue maintenance
• Parameters that may be becoming stale
• Recorded actions that may be connected with later changes

Each card provides a useful summary without requiring you to dig through multiple sections of Reef Trak. Expand a card to view additional records, dates, trends, and supporting information. Parameter-related cards can also lead into more detailed history and analysis.

Tank Insights uses careful language when comparing events. It can show that one event was followed by another or that records may be related, but it does not automatically claim that one action caused a change.

Improved parameter tracking

Parameter information is now more consistent throughout Reef Trak and the Web Portal.

Phosphorus is easier to locate and now appears correctly on the reef parameter dashboard. Supported ICP elements are also organized more consistently under the Trace category.

Freshwater GH and TDS can now be viewed through the Web Portal.

The Web Deep Dive 7, 30, and 90-day controls now correctly filter the displayed history, helping ensure reports reflect the selected time period.

Cycle Assistant evidence and supporting information also display more reliably through the Web Portal.

More connected aquarium records

Feeding, water changes, parameter reminders, measurements, Trak Sitter activity, dosing records, and maintenance now connect more consistently throughout Reef Trak.

A single aquarium action should no longer appear as multiple separate activity entries.

Equipment records can also connect more naturally with related maintenance tasks, making it easier to understand what equipment a reminder or service record belongs to.

Syncing and reliability improvements

Additional safeguards help prevent deleted tanks from unexpectedly returning during synchronization.

We also improved first-launch performance, strengthened update reliability for existing users, corrected a photo-cropping layout issue, and improved TrakTone processing reliability.

The public Reef Trak website has also been refreshed with a clearer homepage, improved readability, an expanded product story, and a new theme selector.

Thank you for using Reef Trak and helping us continue to improve it.
