Biological algae control

Bubble algae detected. Emerald crabs are reef-safe and a good fit for your 40B setup.

Dosing consistency

Alkalinity has swung 0.6 dKH over 7 days. Smaller, more frequent doses tend to smooth this out.

Worth reviewing

The real risks

Most reef tanks don't fail overnight.

They fail in small, missed signals. GuidedReef helps you spot them before they cost you livestock or thousands in replacements.

Parameter drift

Alk, salinity and nitrate slowly creeping away from target — invisible until corals start to recede.

GuidedReef: Track trends over time and get alerted when readings drift outside your target ranges.

Missed maintenance

One skipped water change becomes three. Filter socks, skimmer cups and dosing all blur together.

GuidedReef: A clear schedule and complete history so nothing slips through the cracks.

Equipment failures

Heaters, pumps and reactors don't last forever. Warranties and service dates get lost.

GuidedReef: Equipment inventory with install dates, warranties and replacement reminders.

Livestock stress

New additions, aggression, disease — small notes today prevent expensive mistakes tomorrow.

GuidedReef: Per-fish and per-coral records so you spot patterns long before a crash.
