How to add an aquarium in Aquairi
Your aquarium is the home base for everything in Aquairi — water tests, schedules, inhabitants, equipment, and your Health Score all hang off it. Adding one takes about a minute.
You can keep as many tanks as you like and switch between them from the dashboard, so set up a separate aquarium for each system you run.
Steps
Open the dashboard
Sign in and you land on the dashboard. It lists every aquarium you track, each with its latest Health Score and the time of your last log.

The water type tunes everything downstream — parameter targets, Health Score weighting, and the species Aquairi suggests for stocking.
Not sure? Pick the closest type now — you can change it later in the aquarium settings without losing your logs.
Enter a name and volume
Give the tank a name you’ll recognise and set the volume in litres or gallons. Volume drives dosing math and the stocking calculator.
Save and start logging
Tap Save and the aquarium appears on your dashboard. From here you can log a water test, add inhabitants, or set up maintenance reminders.
