Log every water test in ten seconds — and see exactly when your tank started drifting.

Every crash starts as a drift. The data exists days before the glass shows it — your memory just isn’t a logbook. TankNote is.

FIG. 1 — THE DRIFT

See it on day 9, not day 19.

SAMPLE
8.5 8.0 7.5 7.0 ALKALINITY — dKH d1 d7 d14 d21 8.4 steady
day 9 — drift begins. Invisible to memory, obvious on a trace.   day 19 — the corals show it in the glass. Too late.
Fig. 1 — Alkalinity, 21-day record. Data: SAMPLE.

Alkalinity slides 0.1 dKH a day for two weeks. Nothing looks wrong. Then the Acropora tips pale, the tissue recedes, and you’re reading old test strips trying to reconstruct what happened.

A logbook would have caught it on day three. The data existed; the record didn’t.

TankNote keeps the trace — so you act on the sag, not the slide.

SPECIMEN AAcropora sp. — first to register an alkalinity swing; the canary of the reef.

METHODS
FIELD METHODS — HOW IT WILL WORK

Four entries, logged the same way every time.

METHOD I — THE 10-SECOND LOG

Number-pad-fast entry for every parameter you test — dKH, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, phosphate, salinity. Type the reading, it’s logged. Friction is the killer feature: if it takes longer than seconds, it stops happening.

METHOD II — THE TRACE

Every parameter drawn as a continuous strip-chart, per tank. The shape of the line is the diagnosis — flat is health, a sag is a warning you can read at a glance.

METHOD III — DRIFT ALERTS

TankNote watches the slope. When a parameter starts trending out of your target band, it flags the sag — before it becomes a slide. Day 9, not day 19.

METHOD IV — THE JOURNAL

Water-change reminders and a photo record of the reef growing in — the romance alongside the rigor. A slice of the reef, kept on the record.

Two berths. Built this decade.

Less than a single test-kit refill — for the record that makes the refills worth it.

NOTES FROM THE BRIDGE — FAQ

Queries logged, answered straight.

Q: When does it launch?

In development — we’re in sea trials now. There’s no app to download yet. Manifest signers board first: you’ll get early access before it’s public, and you’ll help shape what ships.

Q: What do I get for signing up?

Early access, launch pricing locked in, and a voice in which parameters and test kits we support first. No spam, no charge — just a signal when sea trials end.

Q: Reef only?

No — reef, planted, brackish, fish room. Nitrate, GH/KH, CO₂, salinity, par. If you test it, you can log it. Fish-room owners get per-tank histories and water-change schedules.

Q: Where does my data live?

Yours. Exportable, never sold. The record you keep is the record you own.

SPECIMEN BNeritina sp. — the algae crew. Tireless, uncomplaining, off the books. TankNote keeps the books.
−50m THE DESCENT

The reef rewards the keeper who keeps the log.

Ten seconds a test. A year of trace. Sign the manifest and board before the rest of the crew.
