Ultimate Reef Tracker
Helpful answers for protecting your reef history, exporting records, managing tanks, and connecting optional camera streams.
Tank profiles, readings, livestock, equipment, notes, and app-managed photos are kept on your Android device. After you sign in, structured records synchronize to your private Cloud Firestore backup and photos synchronize through private Firebase Storage so they can appear on your other signed-in devices.
Sign in and confirm synchronization is current before changing devices or clearing Android storage. Use CSV export for an additional copy of your measurements and written records, and keep the original device copy until you have confirmed that cloud-synced photos appear on the other device.
No. CSV preserves measurements, dates, and written observations. It does not currently package the original photo files.
Use a secure HTTPS HLS, MP4, or MJPEG stream URL. RTSP-only or unencrypted HTTP cameras require an HTTPS-capable gateway. Confirm the stream works on the same device and network before adding it.
Yes. Each aquarium can have its own profile, volume, target ranges, readings, livestock, equipment, camera address, and history.
In the app, open Settings, find Reef account, choose Delete account, and enter your current password. This requests removal of the sign-in account, Cloud Firestore backup, and cloud photo files. Local records and photos remain on each device until you clear app storage or uninstall.
Include the app version, Android version, phone model, the screen involved, what you expected, what happened, and the steps that reproduce the issue. Never send aquarium-camera passwords or private signing credentials.
Before changing devices
Confirm the app reports a current cloud sync and verify important photos on the other signed-in device. Keep a recent CSV export as an additional copy of measurements and written records.
Google Play testing
Closed testers should use real tank workflows and report confusing screens, failed saves, display problems, or unexpected behavior through the private feedback option provided with the test.
Privacy
Never include camera passwords, banking information, Google credentials, private app-signing files, or upload-key passwords in a support message.
