Aquascaping is a long game. A thriving planted tank is the product of dozens of small decisions — how much you dose, how often you change water, where your CO₂ sits — made consistently over months. The fastest way to wreck that consistency is to rely on memory. PlantedTank is a focused log that turns scattered guesses into a clear record.
Open the tracker →Algae outbreaks, melting stems and stunted growth almost never appear out of nowhere — they trail a parameter that drifted. When you record every water test, you can scroll back and see that your NO₃ crept from 20 to 40 ppm the week before the green spot algae started, or that pH swings always follow a missed water change. Patterns that are invisible day-to-day become obvious across a timeline.
| Parameter | Common planted range | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| NO₃ (nitrate) | 10–30 ppm | Main nitrogen source; too low stunts growth, too high feeds algae. |
| PO₄ (phosphate) | 1–3 ppm | Drives growth with NO₃; imbalance shows on leaves first. |
| KH | 3–8 dKH | Buffers pH and sets your CO₂/pH relationship. |
| GH | 4–12 dGH | Calcium & magnesium for healthy plants and shrimp. |
| Temp | 22–26 °C | Affects growth rate, oxygen and livestock comfort. |
