downloadable reef charts?

[nofrills]

Anyone know of any out there that are free to download?

 

[theop]

what are reef charts? what information are you looking for?

 

[nofrills]

I guess logs would have been a better word to use.

 

[fishykid9212]

what do you mean by logs? Like a schedule when to do water changes and testing, etc?

This is not downloadable but it is one of the best investments I made in this hobby:

You might find one on eBay or Amazon for cheaper. I love mine.

Hope this helps,
Allen

That notebook from Marinedepot is purty....but why not just put together something using Excel and print it out yourself?

Because by the time you get done typing it up(time spent) and printing it out(money spent on ink) you could have a book for roughly the same price that is proffesionally done. I'm telling you they thought of everything. Plus when I got the book I took a page from each section and scanned it to my PC. So if I need extra I can just print them out.
Some peolpe can't justify spending $30 on it but it helps me out all the time. Especially the section on livestock, where I can keep track of fish, corals, inverts and when I purchased them, how long I've had them, who they get along with, it's endless. Just my 2 cents.
Does anyone else have this book?

By the way Doug Wojtczak wrote a great review on this product for Reef Keeping Magazine with pictures of all of the sections. Here it is:

If you want a software type package try a Google search for "reefcon". I think you'll like it.

[kmoses]

I've been thinking about building a website with tool included. It would allow anyone to utilize it in a web based format, but be printable or downloadable if needed.

You think people would use it?

 

[Paintbug]

theres a thread in the new to the hobby section that has a couple of excel files you can download. i made one, one or two others made one.

 

[ste6168]

i would def use it!! (if you make it of course, because i have no idea ow to do it myself)

 

[yetti]

Yeah, I'd be making it.....

Anyone know of a good way of getting ideas for such a tool? I do a log for my 3 tanks so I have a good idea, but I'm sure others use things that I don't......

Didn't mean to intrude on the thread if it's taken that way......

I've attached a simple journal I use as a starting template for all my tanks. Then I just add/remove items/details as needed. Some tanks stay this simple, others I've added progress notes, more pages for details, etc.

Edit: doesn't look like the attachment worked, you can DL the template HERE

 

[mille239]

you get access to an online log. It's pretty good.

I used to use that one. It is real slick and will even email you reminders.
