How do you Log / Blog/ or otherwise keep track of your tank?
I used to use a self changing WIKI file that would just save itself. It was nice and probably lent itself to web publishing.
Now I use Microsoft OneNote 2007. For you organization freaks, check this one out. Even my wife who uses more regular notebooks than anyone I know was impressed.

I use the thread in the signature, and a notebook for logging water tests.

I have a custom javascript driven system that I use. It is basically a database. I wrote it myself because I preferred to be able to change things as I wanted. Not your typical data tracking idea

Randy sounds like you and I are similar. Like I said, I used a WIKI before.

Before I wrote mine, I looked at Wiki software for it. Just decided that if I wrote one myself then I could add/remove things without trying to make do with what somebody else wanted. But, that is just me. It makes me feel like I have more control over it

Isn't that why we keep reefs, because we are all control freaks?

I don't want to have to go to the comptuer,.. so I just have a pad of paper under the stand where I write down test results and such.

That's why I put a computer in the fishroom behind the tank, sit at the desk, check parameters, enter in computer....  that way I can also check out the forumns here while I am working on the tank...
