How to keep an aquarium log

Useful notes help connect a tank change with a later measurement or observation.

What to record

Track water changes, filter cleaning, lighting adjustments, new livestock, fertilisation, feeding and the most relevant measurements.

Do not record everything without a purpose

Choose a few parameters that matter for the specific tank. Consistent comparable data is more useful than one huge entry every few months.

Make backups

AkwariumTo data is local. Download a JSON backup periodically and store it with your other backups.

Important: Adapt actions to the species, equipment instructions and actual measurements. For signs of illness, consult a veterinarian experienced with aquatic animals.
