OldTimer I thought I fixed that last week. I've removed the constraint so give it another try.

Yes, I use them occassionally, I have one on my 10g tank and uploaded a picture of the tank. Don't use it as often as I should. Are you thinking of eliminating the logbooks?

I voted for abstain, as I have tried to access them on several occassions, but all I get is an error code so I thought they weren't available. I would like to if I could just get to them.

This is the error message that I receive each time I try to access the log books.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_LBTANKS_PROFILES'. The conflict occurred in database 'aspnetwork_db', table 'PROFILES', column 'USERID'.

/interactive/logbooks/logbooks.asp, line 66

Anyone that could help would be appreciated. I'm not totally computer illiterate, but I don't know where to go from here.

I think I'm going to start, though - I had no idea you could upload a photo to it, that's quite nice.

I know alot of work went into them, and knowing me as well as I do I should use them daily, but somehow I'm like moondog...I just never write anything down...Plus I got a bit frustrated with trying to enter data into the calander thingy ....

I have some of my tanks up there .... but they're rather unupdated.

I use it very day. From inventory to water changes. I like the fact it gives you a graph map. So you can see what your tank is doing every time you make an entry. ***Tiger.

One Aqu I used to buy from (now closed) they would keep a record of all your water tests usually monthly, other than that I have never bothered.

The Aqu I go to now keeps a very good record on every tank.

Just wondering if anyone is still using the logbooks? The amount of functionality they have is quite substantial and you can even set it up to send the forgetful reminders to maintain your tank. It will allow you to list all of your inventory and show you the optimal water parameters for the combined list.

And best of all you can share it with others by modifying the rules under the sharing tab, an example of which is below:

[link=http://www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/logbooks/tanks.asp?uid=39&displaytank=162]http://www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/logbooks/tanks.asp?uid=39&displaytank=162" style="COLOR: #000000[/link]

Haven't, but was just convincing myself to do so now that I have a planted tank with co2.

I like the nitrogen cycle overlay - didn't realize it was there.

Nope. I didn't even realize they were there. I'll look into it, but I'm also not the kind of person that wrights things down. I keep all I need to know or remember in my head.

As scary as that sounds. But it works for me.

I haven't used them yet, but I've been planning on trying because of the new tank I'm setting up. (72 gallon reef) The maint on my FW tanks is just way too easy so they aren't really too useful, but I would like to give them a try for my new tank.

I messed around with them when they were new...but I haven't even done any water tests since then, and I haven't really had a reason to use them since Then again I've only got 5 tanks and they're all planted and low maintenance

I use them and intend on using them more often, but got forgetful and lazy for a bit of timeabout keeping track of my records...It has replaced my file on excel that I set up to keep track of my records...Heidi

i never got into the habit of writing down anything about my tanks, so the logbooks aren't very helpful to me at all...

I use them quite often to track my inventory, Water changes, filter changes, gravel vacs, new fish and test results. I think it's really handy, otherwise i'd have to write all this stuff down :%) Kudos to the logbooks!

Ooh. Didn't know about these.

Can I transfer my Panda spawning records to one of these?
