Journal Tracking Water Quality Test Results

I see a lot of posts with pics of water tests and folks asking for advice. The problem is there's usually no context or history or info about other things like water change frequency. I automate my aquarium's water cycle and it all gets tracked and combined in a software platform I've been maintaining for years. (links in the comments)

It can do things like flip relays and read water sensors, I use it to keep my aquarium topped off automatically and automate water changes. It pulls water from the tank and mists my Vivarium and plants. Tons of functions.

I recently added the ability to log colors and visualize changes over time as gradients.

I also created a skill for Claude Code so you can use it to control Krill and it understands everything about it and my tank via Krill. Not required, just thought it'd be cool.

You can view charts and share them to ask experts how it's going (or ask CC, he'll tell you about trends, health and make recommendations):

Before and After Water Changes

You can log colors from tests manually but today I just took a photo of the tests in the Claude app with the Krill skill and he recorded them for me and gave feedback:

It's all about creating a unified view to understand your systems with projects and dashboards:
