After doing a few searches for some software that will allow me to track things that happen in my fish tank I have decided to try to make my own. Inputting things in Excell just is working for me any more. I like what Aquanotes does but I don't have a controller to communicate with it and I wasn't fond of the interface. So with the help of one of my coworkers we are putting together a simple little database. The plan is either to do it with Access or, my preference, using some PHP pages and MySQL; which is free. So I was wondering what sort of things you think would be useful to help you keep track of your tanks.
The plan is to have a searchable data base of species much like Aquanotes but allow you to attach your own pictures and custom information. Of course we will have an tank inhabitants database as well. There will be a section to input parameters like ph, sg, temp, orp, ca. pretty much whatever you want. And also graph it so you can see tank trends.
Mainly this is just something to mess around with and learn some coding. But any input would be helpful on adding features and things like that.
