Aquarium Manager turns fishkeeping guesswork into a simple daily routine. Log every tank, track water test results over time, and let a built-in cycling coach tell you exactly when it's safe to add new fish — all from your phone, whether you run one small fish tank or a whole fish room. Water chemistry is where most tanks go wrong. Aquarium Manager reads your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate readings and turns them into a clear trend line instead of a page of numbers, so you always know whether your nitrogen cycle is stable, spiking, or still establishing. Most new tanks fail for the same reason: fish go in before the tank finishes cycling. Aquarium Manager exists to make that mistake much harder to make. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Track every tank you own — freshwater, saltwater, planted, or reef, each with its own livestock and history • Log water test results — ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, and more, charted over time so trends jump out • Cycling coach — a step-by-step read of your nitrogen cycle that tells you when it's actually safe to stock • Compatibility check — see if a new species fits your existing tank before you buy it, not after • Disease photo ID — snap a photo of a sick fish for informational guidance on what might be wrong • AI diagnosis — describe symptoms and get hobby-level troubleshooting for common tank problems • Species guide — care sheets for popular aquarium species, from tank size to feeding to temperament • Maintenance schedule — water changes, filter cleans, and test reminders so nothing slips • Stock log and audit — a running inventory of every fish, plant, and invertebrate in every tank, so you always know exactly what's living where • Tank history — look back weeks or months to spot slow chemistry drift long before it turns into an algae bloom or a stressed, sick fish WHY AQUARIUM MANAGER • Built for real fishkeeping — the cycling coach and water test log solve the two things new hobbyists get wrong most • One place for every tank — no more scattered notes, spreadsheets, or sticky notes on the stand • Photo-based help — disease ID and AI diagnosis give you a starting point before you call an aquatic vet • Reminders that stick — maintenance tasks are scheduled, not just remembered • Works for beginners and veterans — a single freshwater community tank or a multi-tank fish room • Species-first buying — check compatibility before checkout instead of researching an incompatibility after the fish is already home WHO IT'S FOR • New hobbyists cycling their very first fish tank and unsure when it's safe to add fish • Experienced keepers juggling multiple tanks who want water test history in one place • Reef and planted tank owners who need to catch chemistry drift before it becomes a crash • Anyone who has lost fish to an uncycled tank and wants that to never happen again Aquarium Manager is informational hobby guidance, not a substitute for a veterinarian — for a sick or valuable animal, always consult an aquatic vet. For everyday tank care, it's the log, the cycling coach, and the compatibility check that keep your fish tank healthy between water changes.
