My three year old little boy got hold of my notebook,(where ive plotted all of my readings,notes etc,) and thought it would be a great idea,(as three year olds do!) to do some colouring in....with a black marker pen!!!! does anyone know of any free downloadable software sites which i can use for this? (providing he doesnt take the blackmarker to my laptop!)

Whenever I have cycled tanks, I too keep a little notebook for ease and speed each day and then just update a simple spreadsheet when I log on the laptop every other day or so.

Cheap and easy and in your circumstances you would only lose a fews days info at best.

There is software out there that constantly monitors tank readings (includes pm alerts on mobile phone/computer) and some include a fish cam so you could even watch your fish whilst at work etc. Others have talked about this on other fish keeping sites so I know it exists. Have absolutely no idea how much these would be though.

thanks for the info,but with me,its best to keep things simple! i just wanted a basic programme to store my info on. i think ill keep to the notebooks,(and keep them on high shelves!)

Microsoft Excel? Just take a column for each reading.
