ReefBay data · Reef tank maintenance habits
How often do reefers do water changes and test their water?
This page is being computed. Check back soon.
ReefBay users set maintenance reminders and log water tests. This page shows the schedules they actually set and the real gaps between their tests, not what guides recommend.
Method
- Source: tank profiles and logs created by ReefBay app users. ReefBay is a reef aquarium app for iOS and Android.
- Excluded: deleted tanks, deleted accounts, ReefBay staff and test accounts.
- Reminder intervals come from maintenance reminders with a recognized title (water change, test water parameters, clean glass and so on). Weekly reminders on several days count as 7 divided by the number of days.
- Real testing cadence is the average gap between consecutive logged readings of the same parameter per tank, in the last 365 days, for tanks with at least 3 readings. Gaps over 120 days are dropped.
