Reef Tank
Journal |
My Journal chronicling
the original set-up of my 38 gallon reef tank, what I did, how I did it and some of
the do's and don't encountered. I haven't made any entries to this
journal in a very long time. |
| Spread-sheet |
For anyone
interested, I did a cost study/budget projection of what parts would be
needed to put together my 38g reef tank. This was done in Excel97
and I have converted the page to HTML as a sample page. Before ever attempting
any project it is a good idea to have a budget or at least an
understanding of the costs to expect. For anyone that is not familiar
with setting-up a reef tank or some of the cost involved, check out this
page. You may be surprised at what is actually involved and how much
it will cost. |
| Test
results form |
Part of
maintaining a healthy aquarium is monitoring the condition of
the water. I have included a sample form here that can be printed
and used to keep track of water conditions such as Nitrite, Nitrate,
Specific Gravity, Temperature, PH and more. |
|
I
will be adding a PDF file with a collection of forms that can be printed
plus several Excel files that can be downloaded and used for calculating
budgets and more. |
