Aquariums and livestock
Aquariums
Section titled “Aquariums”My aquariums (Mes aquariums) lists your tanks. Each aquarium has a record (name, volume, water type, biotope, set-up date) and a page organised in four groups, each with its sections; each group reopens the last section you viewed:
| Group | Sections |
|---|---|
| Monitoring (Suivi) | Dashboard (customisable cards), Parameters (readings, targets, ICP tests), Logbook, Cameras, Alerts, History |
| Technical (Technique) | Equipment, Sensors, Lights (LED fixtures and schedules), Equipment groups, Rules (automations) |
| Livestock (Vivants) | Fish, Corals (Plants in freshwater), Invertebrates |
| Maintenance (Entretien) | Tasks, Stock, Water changes |
The magnifier in the header (or Ctrl+K) searches every tank: livestock (name, scientific name, CITES no.), equipment, sensors, lights, tasks, stock, purchase documents and frags. Accents and capitals are ignored; a result opens the right section directly.
The Home (Accueil) page sums up the state of every tank: parameters off target, today’s tasks, low stock, ongoing faults. Each badge opens the matching filtered page.
Livestock
Section titled “Livestock”Each inhabitant has a detailed record. Fields vary by type: common and scientific name, acquisition date, origin, and for fish the adult size, minimum volume and reef safety.
The species catalogue
Section titled “The species catalogue”The Species catalogue (Catalogue d’espèces) covers marine and freshwater fish, corals, invertebrates and plants. When adding an inhabitant, the picker only offers species compatible with the aquarium’s water type.
A species is identified by its common name: several varieties can share a scientific name (“Euphyllia marteau” and “Euphyllia gold”, both Euphyllia paraancora). Each entry has a free-text description: colour depending on light, behaviour, tips.
Coral scales
Section titled “Coral scales”| Criterion | Scale |
|---|---|
| Light | 1 to 15, in steps of 50 PAR (1 = 50 PAR, 15 = 750 PAR); the PAR equivalent is shown everywhere |
| Flow, aggressiveness, hardiness | 1 to 10 |
| Placement | 1 = bottom of the tank, 10 = top |
The shared catalogue
Section titled “The shared catalogue”The catalogue is shared by every installation and maintained publicly in the aquasmanager/catalogue repository. Your installation syncs it on its own every 6 hours, or on demand with Update now (Mettre à jour maintenant) in the species catalogue:
- new species are added, corrections applied;
- an entry you edited is marked “edited” and is never replaced again;
- a species you deleted doesn’t come back;
- your own species are left untouched.
Suggesting a species or a correction
Section titled “Suggesting a species or a correction”No account needed, from the app:
- Suggest for the shared catalogue (Proposer au catalogue commun): on a coral missing from the catalogue (Mes coraux), or on a species you added to the catalogue;
- Suggest this change (Proposer cette modification): in the form of a shared catalogue species, after changing fields, to send the difference (current value → suggested value).
The suggestion becomes a public request in the catalogue repository, with a link to follow it. Once accepted, it reaches every installation at their next sync. With a GitHub account, Open on GitHub (Ouvrir sur GitHub) does the same under your name.
Photos
Section titled “Photos”Each record accepts several photos. Choose the main photo, shown in lists. The full-screen viewer lets you browse the gallery. If you delete the main photo, another one automatically takes its place.
As soon as there are two photos, Compare (Comparer) puts them face to face, before and after, with a slider or side by side, and the gap in days or months: ideal for following a coral’s growth or how the tank changes.
The logbook
Section titled “The logbook”An aquarium’s Logbook (Journal) tab gathers dated notes, sorted by category: note, water change, dosing, livestock, maintenance, problem.
- Add (Noter) adds a note at the date and time of your choice;
- water changes and doses are written there automatically;
- a filter shows only some categories.
The notes also appear on the parameter chart (the chart’s Logbook button): you can link a change to its cause, for example a drop in nitrate to a water change.
Favourites
Section titled “Favourites”Pin the items you check most often to find them in one click.
