Straight answers about Tank Manager – what it is, what it is not, and where it stands today.
What is Tank Manager?
Tank Manager is a desktop aquarium management app for Windows – built by an aquarist, for aquarists. Its motto is “Your Tank. Your World.” It brings together six specialised Managers (Betta, Shrimp, Freshwater, Aquascape, Cichlids, Reef), an Aquarium Designer, guided cycling, measurements with traffic-light status, a maintenance plan, Smart Inventory and an AI Assistant.
Can I download Tank Manager now?
Not yet. Tank Manager is still in development and has not been released. You can join the waitlist on tankmanagerapp.com to be told when it launches.
Which platforms does Tank Manager support?
Tank Manager is a desktop app for Windows. A mobile app is planned, but it does not exist yet.
Is Tank Manager a mobile app from the App Store or Google Play?
No. Tank Manager (tankmanagerapp.com) is a desktop app for Windows. It is not affiliated with mobile apps that have a similar name, such as “Aquarium Tracker: Tank Manager” or “Aquarium Log – Tank Manager”, which are made by other developers.
How much will Tank Manager cost?
At launch, Tank Manager will cost $19.99 per month, or $14.99 per month when paid yearly. There is one version with everything included – nothing is locked behind a higher tier. The AI Assistant is included with a fair-use limit.
What does the fair-use limit on the AI Assistant mean?
The AI Assistant is part of the subscription, not a paid extra. A fair-use limit applies so the service stays sustainable for everyone. The exact limit will be published before launch.
What is a Founding Supporter?
Founding Supporters are the first 50 supporters on Patreon. They get Early Launch Access 7 days before the public release, a founding price of $14.99 per month for as long as their subscription continues without interruption, and their name in the app.
How does the app know when cycling is finished?
Tank Manager suggests the end of cycling when three conditions are met: at least 28 days have passed, at least 3 measurements in the last 7 days show ammonia (NH3) = 0 and nitrite (NO2) = 0, and nitrate (NO3) is measurable.
Who makes Tank Manager?
Tank Manager is built by Marek, an aquarist from Slovakia, alongside his job and family. He shares the development on Patreon as a dev diary.
