Identify species, scan water tests, and manage your aquarium with AI built for real hobbyists.

Identify and Diagnose in Real-Time

Get instant care advice, compatibility checks, and visual health diagnosis directly from your camera.

• Comprehensive Discovery — Instantly ID fish and plants, and swipe through multiple species found in the same tank.
• Detailed Care Logs — View temperature ranges, pH requirements, and feeding habits with a single tap.
• Visual Health Triage — AquaLens automatically flags potential sick fish issues (like Ich or fin rot) and provides tailored educational care suggestions.

Laboratory-Grade Water Intelligence

AquaLens transforms raw ICP data into actionable intelligence. Upload your lab report and instantly see element-by-element breakdowns, trend analysis, and AI-generated recommendations.

• One-Tap ICP Import — Upload results from any major ICP lab (ATI, Fauna Marin, Triton). AquaLens parses and organizes 30+ trace elements automatically.
• Parameter Trending — Watch Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium, and every trace element over time. Spot drift before it becomes a crisis.
• AI Predictive Alerts — Machine learning detects subtle parameter shifts and warns you days before a crash. No more surprises.
• Photo Test Scanning — Snap a photo of any liquid test kit. AquaLens reads the color chart and auto-logs the exact parameters with zero manual entry.
• Cross-Reference Engine — AI correlates your water chemistry history with livestock additions, dosing schedules, and maintenance events to identify root causes.

One-Tap Auto Logging

Whether you just completed a weekly water change, swapped filter media, or finished trimming plants, AquaLens lets you log it in less than a second.

• Custom Quick Buttons — Build a dashboard of your most frequent tasks. Tap once to auto-log them with the current date and time.
• Save Precious Time — Keep hyper-accurate records of your husbandry routine without the tedious manual data entry.
• Maximize Stability — AI cross-references your maintenance logs with water chemistry to identify performance-boosting habits.

Comprehensive Expense Tracking

No more wondering where your budget went. The Financial Tracker keeps a detailed log of every acquisition and recurring cost.

• Automatic Ledgers — Log new livestock and hardware purchases directly from your scans.
• Subscription Monitoring — Track recurring costs for nutrients, water, and electricity in one unified view.
• ROI Analysis — Understand the total cost of ownership for your species and systems.

Master the Light Lab

Enter your exact fixture model, tank depth, and water clarity. AquaLens generates a full 2D attenuation map of your Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) exactly where you need it.

• Hardware Parity — Select from hundreds of pre-calculated commercial light fixtures for precise simulation.
• Nutrient Stoichiometry — Calculate precise ppm contributions from commercial fertilizers automatically.
• Fluid Dynamics — Filter turnover modeling based on your specific biomedia resistance and hardware choice.

Hi, I'm Dave

By day, I run a small, highly specialized research company — engineering proteins, building biosensors, and leading a team of research scientists at the intersection of biotech and national security. Our work is funded by the DoD and DoE, spanning everything from critical mineral recovery to field-deployable biosensing platforms.

AquaLens was born out of my own frustration. Turns out, keeping lab notes isn't that different from keeping tank notes — weighing chemicals, controlling conditions, and obsessing over parameters. I wanted a better, smarter way to log tank data, track expenses, and monitor the overall health of my ecosystems. When I couldn't find an app that did exactly what I needed, I decided to build one myself.

Here's the funny part: AquaLens is actually the very first thing I have ever coded. Building this app has been a wild ride of late nights, endless Googling, and crossing my fingers that the server doesn't crash. It's a true solo passion project built by a hobbyist, for hobbyists.

Because it's just me behind the screen, I rely heavily on the community. If you find a bug, have an idea for a new feature, or just want to share a picture of your setup, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for coming along for the ride!
