It's a web page where you can keep the information of your aquaria. Right now, you can attach measures to your aquarium so you can keep track of your parameters. MyReefStats will create a forum image with your latest data so you can show it to others in forums or your personal web page. It was born after the popular site reefstatus closed its activity.

To start using the site, first of all, register or login using the links on the upper right. Then, visit the 'My Aquaria' link on the left. Create a new aquarium and get started using the site. You can also attach a photo with your aquarium (only 150kb though). After an aquarium is created you can start attaching water tests to it. You will have an historical of all your water parameters overtime and several statistics to check the health of your aquarium.

Click on the link 'water measures' in your aquarium to start adding or checking your water measures. You can add measures of your aquarium for the temperature, density, pH, alkinity, calcium, magnesium, and many more! Also, for each measure, MyReefStats will indicate (with a color code) if your parameters are in a valid range or not. A green color means than the parameters are inside a recomended value, orange means that the parameters are in a dangerous zone and red you should better move your fish to another tank!

Whenever you add a new water parameter measure, MyReefStats will create an image with your latest water measures so you can show it to others in your favourite forum or your personal webpage. The image looks like this:

The image shows the date and the measures of your different tests, again a green square means the measure is within recommended values, orange means a danregous zone and red means the measure is outside recommended limits. You can select which measures you want in the image. MyReefStats will provide you links to point to your forum image and it will change automatically with your latest measures.
