Aquarium Log Sheet

Ok I am going to sound like the NOOB but what is the Additive and Type/QT columns for? I am new to this and can't think of what would go there.
 
Mine comes out as gibberish for some reason.


Help!!

Hmm I'll have to know a little more to help you out.

Additive = something you add to supplement water chemistry.
Type = type of additive.
QT = quarantine.

Open office version for those that do not have excel. The sheet loses macro functionality (click-able buttons for auto archive, etc.) in open office, but the other features still work.

Sorry,

What i mean't by gibberish is seems like i'm opening it with the wrong programm. It comes out looking like pages of script.

I tried to open it with Microsoft office 2013.

Thanks

That's odd, it should work just fine with excel 2013. If you're able to post a screen shot of what you're seeing I might be able to help yuo fix it. Make sure you're using the normal version, not the open office version.

Thanks MojaveReefer for the awesome spreadsheet! Up until now, have been keeping a manual log via a text file I keep updating. This works 100x's better. No issues with Excel 2011 Mac.
 
A feature I think would be nice is to track when and how much RODI water I have produced. I think it would also be nice to track how much waste water the unit also produce. Also tracking TDS and pressure readings

For example, my unit produces 2.78 gallons of waste water for every gallon of product water. The ratio could be something that is user defined and can be changed. It also has two dual TDS monitors, one before the sediment/carbon filters and one after, then one after the RO membrane but before the DI cartridges and then one after the cartridges.

I think this would also help with equipment maintenance.

Glad it's working out for you, thank you for the feedback.

If there are a lot of folks that would benefit from it I could look at adding it, however, I don't think too many folks would monitor those reading beyond a visual inspection.


Thanks Moj been on my list of to do's....now done!

My pleasure


Could I get a copy? mknrf43@gmail.com

Thank you!

At the time I did not have a place to upload it. Fortunately a generous member here donated server space for this so everyone can download it. You can find the link in this post.

Hi

I have an API test kit

Your Nitrate section allows for upto 0.5 in the acceptable range but my test kit gives me a result of 20

Should I be entering this in as 0.2?

Is it the same for Phospate 0.25 is actuallt .025 on the Spreadsheet

Thanks

The acceptable range is completely adjustable. You can change the numbers to set your own range and the sheet will adjust all the graphs, conditional formatting, etc. for you.

Been a bit since I've posted pictures of the sheet, Here are some shots of what the sheet looks like folks.

Log Sheet Features

*Adjustable Parameters - Not everyone runs their tank the same, set your own parameters.

*Conditional Formatting - Provides at a glance in or out of tolerance viewing by coloring cells, with the added the ability to turn this feature on or off.

*One Button Archiving - Send recent results to your archive with the click of a button.

*Equipment Tracking - Stay on top of your maintenance schedule by tracking replaceable media and parts, and keep track of how long your equipment has been online.

*Livestock Tracking - Keep an inventory of all your tanks inhabitants.

*Calculators - Links to chemistry and volume calculators.


Here are some screen shots of the sheet


Conditional Formatting Off

All you have to do for adjusting the parameters is type in the number you want, I have my temp set From 77 To 82, if I wanted to run my tank a little cooler all I would need to do is replace the 77 with whatever number I choose, It works the same with all the parameters. The graphing is also tied in to the adjustable parameters so you won't miss a beat.




Conditional Formatting On

The small check box above the notes section is what turns the conditional formatting on or off, checked box = on unchecked box = off, it's that easy. Please be aware if you click the archive button while the conditional formatting is on it will copy over colored cells to the archive, if that's how you like it great! If not be sure to turn it off before archiving.




Graphing Feature

All parameters are graphed automatically based on your input. Graphing can also be switched from viewing current results to viewing archived results with the click of the buttons on the graph pages.




Equipment Tracking

For parts tracking you'll enter the date you changed said equipment and in how many days till you would like to change it again, the sheet does the math for you and calculates the next change date, as well as counts down the days for you. When the countdown has reached 10 or less days it will highlight yellow, when it has reached 0 you will get the change notification.

For equipment tracking you'll enter the date you put said equipment on your tank, the sheet will do the math for you and display how long that equipment has been online.





I hope you all find this to be useful, please don't hesitate to ask any questions about the sheet or it's use, I'll be more than happy to answer.

Comments and ideas for possible additions are also welcome.
