NextUpReef vs ReefCtrl

NextUpReef — Smart Reef Tank Tracker The reef hobby is all about precision. Water chemistry, livestock health, equipment, lighting, dosing — there's a lot to stay on top of. NextUpReef brings it all together in one place, so you always know where your tank stands and what to do next. AI REEF ADVISOR Get a full AI analysis of your tank whenever you want. Reef AI Advisor reviews your parameters, trends, equipment, livestock, and dosing — then tells you what's working, what needs attention, and exactly what to do next. Ask Reef AI anything in chat and get answers based on your specific setup. Use AI Photo Logging to point your camera at any test kit and log the results automatically. REEF SCORE & STABILITY SCORE Two scores tell you everything about your tank's health. Your Reef Score measures overall condition — parameters, testing frequency, water changes, and setup completeness. Your Stability Score measures consistency over time. Together they show you exactly what's working and what needs attention. PARAMETER LOGGING Log alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, phosphate, salinity, pH, temperature, and more in seconds. See your last reading, target range, and trend at a glance. Your full history is saved so you can spot patterns and catch problems early. ANALYTICS & CHARTS — Reef Pulse View your parameters over 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or longer. Target bands show ideal ranges. Water change markers show how your tank responds to maintenance. Trend indicators show what's rising, falling, or holding steady. SMART OUTLET CONTROL & DOSING Pair a Shelly smart outlet with NextUpReef and take full control of your reef equipment right from the app. Set dosing schedules that run 24/7 and get notified if a dose is ever missed. Turn equipment on or off, automate lighting timers, and keep your routine running even when you're away from the tank. NEPTUNE APEX INTEGRATION Connect your Apex controller and pull your probe readings into NextUpReef automatically — pH and temperature, no manual entry. Trident users get alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium too. TANK SETUP Track your entire reef in one place — lighting schedules, equipment, livestock, dosing regimen, salt mix, and monthly tank photos.
