Turns the selected tank’s saved records into reviewable Tank Report and Parameters Report views that can be exported as a PDF.

Introduced in Reef Trak: Dated PDF report development record View dated history

What it does

  • Tank Report summarizes available tank age, volume, water-change context, livestock counts, bioload, and items that need attention.
  • Parameters Report focuses on saved measurement status and trends using the data currently available for that aquarium.
  • The export action prepares a PDF of the report being reviewed for sharing, printing, or keeping outside the app.

Why you would use it

A dashboard is useful at the tank; a report is useful when reviewing the broader record, discussing the aquarium with someone else, or preserving a dated snapshot. Missing data remains visible so a polished export does not pretend the history is more complete than it is.

How to use it

Start here: Start from the correct tank, choose Tank Tools, then select Reports from Core Tank Tools.

  1. Open the correct tank, choose Tank Tools, and select Reports.
  2. Begin with Tank Report to review tank facts, livestock context, water-change information, and current attention items.
  3. Switch to Parameters Report when the question is about measurements, ranges, and trends.
  4. Treat No data as a prompt to inspect the underlying log; do not infer a zero value or a completed activity from an empty report field.
  5. Open the underlying parameter, maintenance, or livestock record when an attention item needs verification or correction.
  6. Choose Export only after reviewing the current report, then use the system share flow to save, print, or send the generated PDF.

Example

Before a consultation, a keeper reviews the Tank Report, notices that water-change history is missing, checks the underlying log, and then exports a PDF containing the corrected tank facts and parameter context.

Important details

  • Premium report module on supported Reef Trak platforms.
  • A report summarizes saved Reef Trak records; it cannot validate a test method, confirm that an unlogged task occurred, or diagnose livestock health.
  • PDF export can leave Reef Trak through the device share sheet. Review the content and intended recipient before sharing private aquarium information.
