Wish there is a smarter app for reefing? Reef Pulses is your all-in-one saltwater aquarium companion, built by reefers for reefers. Track your water parameters, calculate precise dosing amounts, set maintenance reminders, and let the app automatically read your test kit charts - all from your phone. With parameter tracking, you can monitor alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, nitrate, and phosphate with visual gauges and trend charts. Log your readings in seconds and watch your tank's health over time with beautiful, easy-to-read graphs that show exactly where your levels are heading. Our accurate dosing calculator takes the guesswork out of maintaining stable water chemistry. Simply enter your current and target parameters, and Reef Pulses calculates the exact amount of BRS two-part, Kalkwasser, or other supplements to dose. No more math, no more overdosing. Never miss a water test or maintenance task again. Set custom reminders for testing schedules, water changes, filter cleaning, and dosing routines. Push notifications keep you on track so your tank stays healthy without the mental load. The auto calculation for test kit charts is a game changer. Point your camera at your test kit color chart and Reef Pulses reads the result for you - fast, consistent, and accurate every time. No more squinting at color swatches under different lighting.
