   a. Water Test Logs (choose which parameters you want to test and the order to test them)
   b. Graph for your water tests with custom "Ideal Zones" you can set
   c. Customized Maintenance Reminders
   d. General Notes
- Salinity calculator that helps you get a perfect salinity in your tank

### 1/5 — bad app

*2022-09-06, version 1.1.1*

Not recommend you can maintain your fish tank in your notes this app does not help just a fancy way of taking notes of your tank just in an app that’s all 🤦‍♂️

### 4/5 — Good app

*2018-04-20, version 1.1.1*

App works well for tracking routine maintenance,but it would be better if it had a section for adding information on tracking livestock

### 3/5 — Great but could be better

*2018-04-09, version 1.1.1*

Great app!! the only thing I would like to really see is a graph that shows all my element levels on 1 graph not 1 graph for each element. Other than that so far I’m happy.

### 4/5 — 4 out of 5

*2016-12-16, version 1.1.1*

The push notifications, if enabled, are great reminders for my various daily, weekly, and monthly reef tank tasks. The calculators aren't really all that helpful though.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-08-18, version 1.0*

Tried a few other similar apps and nothing compares to the ease of use and options included. Should be triple the price. It's a steal @ the current price. Don't miss this ones your aquatic friends will thank you!
