And this is more a RR topic guys

I don't test my water very often/at all. Maybe I would if I were cycling a tank, but I'm not so I don't see what the point is.

I dont find it useful because it wouldnt let me put more than 2 tanks in, which is kind of useless when you have more than 2!!!
It also wont let me edit my stock list once I put it in, I find it has many other glitches as well.

I didn't know there's unlimited tanks for premies. WOW ?
I have 3 tanks.. I want to add my fry tank and monitor that also.. But Inko nailed it, you should have a general idea what's going on with your tanks, but logbooks are a good tool.. Eliminates those small scraps of paper also.

It didn't take me long to discover the log books and
I've recently started using this feature more,
especially since I bought test kits.
You can watch your water quality improve as you go..
Shoot, that reminds me, time to go, maintenance time..

If you really are monitering and paying attention to your aquarium - you really dont need to log everything. You should have a general idea of what your aquarium is going through.

I just don't test my water regularly enough to keep them too updated...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

Yes and No...

It's not as user friendly as I would like, but Hey, I have all the info on a spreadsheet now, and on my PDA..so not as much use for it.

I added a few things when they first became available, but they just don't serve any use for me. I mean it's cool to have the graphs and all, but I don't have time to put the data in every few days.

I like the idea of it being a RR topic only because then more people will hopefully see it, vote, and voice their opinion.

I had a feeling that there was a big chunk of the membership that didn't even know the logbooks existed.

It seems thats the norm nowadays.. I wonder how many of those that didn't know about the logbooks feature also don't know about the Aquascaping Contest.

Adam talked about this feature as being 'revolutionary', so I was hoping to get as many peoples' opinions as possible, or at least notify them that the feature is there.

Some time ago Adam introduced a new feature to the site. While it was only available to Premium Members for the Beta Testing, it has been available for use by the entire membership for awhile now.

Do you use the logbooks?

Further questions:

To what extent?
Why or why not?
Further Comments?
[option1]Yes, It's a great feature that I use regularly.. [/option1]
[option2]Yes and No. I've added a few things, but don't regularly update or use all the features.[/option2]
[option3]No, I don't find it useful.[/option3]
[option4]Logbooks... What the heck are those? [/option4]
