Why We Built ReefATLAS

We built ReefATLAS to give reef keepers a better way to manage and understand their entire aquarium ecosystem in one place. From coral placement and PAR mapping to livestock tracking, water chemistry, and dosing calculations, ReefATLAS was designed to simplify reef management, improve decision-making, and help hobbyists maintain healthier, more stable reef systems.

ReefATLAS — Advanced Reef Aquarium & Livestock Management Platform


ReefATLAS is a comprehensive reef aquarium management system designed to help hobbyists and professionals organize, visualize, monitor, and optimize every aspect of their reef aquarium in one powerful platform. By combining interactive tank mapping, livestock management, PAR analysis, water parameter tracking, dosing calculations, and equipment documentation into a single application, ReefATLAS gives reef keepers the tools needed to make smarter decisions and maintain healthier, more stable reef systems.


1) Controls

The Controls section serves as the operational command center for the project. Users can configure grid sizing, photo fitting, and system-wide project controls that drive the precision and functionality of the aquarium mapping system.


Key Features

  • Grid sizing and scaling controls
  • Image fitting and positioning tools
  • Project management utilities
  • Display and workspace controls
  • Interactive map calibration setup


Customer Benefits

The Controls section provides the foundation for accurate reef mapping and visualization. By allowing users to precisely scale and align aquarium images, ReefATLAS ensures that all coral, fish, and PAR location data are positioned accurately within the tank environment.



2) Tank Information

The Tank Information section allows users to document the physical specifications of their aquarium system, including manufacturer, model, dimensions, and sump configuration.


Key Features

  • Searchable aquarium manufacturer database
  • Tank model selection
  • Automatic internal/display dimension calculations
  • Custom tank dimension support
  • Sump configuration and total system volume calculations
  • Display area dimension calculations for AIO systems


Customer Benefits

Accurate tank dimensions are critical for proper coral placement, PAR analysis, dosing calculations, and livestock management. ReefATLAS automatically calculates display and total water volume to improve precision throughout the entire application.



3) Photos & Calibration

The Photos & Calibration section allows users to upload aquarium images for each viewing angle and calibrate them to the tank dimensions using an interactive grid system.


Key Features

  • Multi-view aquarium photo uploads
    • Front
    • Left
    • Right
    • Top
  • Interactive calibration grid
  • Perspective correction and image flattening
  • Compressed image optimization for smaller project sizes
  • Replace image workflow with data protection warnings
  • Calibration status indicators


Customer Benefits

This section transforms ordinary aquarium photos into a precise digital representation of the tank. Users can create accurate coral and livestock maps while maintaining small project file sizes for cloud storage and faster loading.



4) Water Parameters

The Water Parameters section tracks aquarium chemistry over time and provides interactive reporting and visualization tools.


Key Features

  • Parameter tracking and history
  • Interactive graphing and trend analysis
  • Date-based reporting
  • Parameter selection and filtering
  • Test kit tracking
  • Water chemistry history logs
  • Touch-enabled report navigation


Supported Parameters

  • Alkalinity
  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Nitrate
  • Phosphate
  • Salinity
  • Temperature
  • pH
  • Additional custom parameters


Customer Benefits

Stable water chemistry is essential for reef success. ReefATLAS allows users to monitor trends, identify instability before problems occur, and correlate coral health with water parameter history.



5) Corals / PAR Locations

The Corals / PAR Locations section is one of the core features of ReefATLAS. Users can place corals and PAR measurement points directly onto the calibrated aquarium map and document detailed coral information.


Key Features

  • Interactive coral placement mapping
  • 3D location triangulation
  • PAR location tracking
  • Coral information management
  • Coral photography support
  • Recommended PAR range analysis
  • Coral care and difficulty guidance
  • Placement validation and PAR warnings
  • Visual tank mapping


Coral Information Includes

  • Coral family
  • Coral type
  • Coral name
  • PAR requirements
  • Coral care recommendations
  • Difficulty level
  • Flow guidance
  • Lighting guidance
  • Placement guidance
  • Feeding recommendations
  • Growth rate
  • Aggression information


Customer Benefits

ReefATLAS helps reef keepers optimize coral placement by combining PAR analysis, coral care data, and exact physical positioning inside the aquarium. This reduces coral stress, improves coloration and growth, and simplifies long-term reef planning.



6) Object Locator / Coral Search

The Object Locator / Coral Search section allows users to quickly search and locate corals or mapped objects within the aquarium.


Key Features

  • Coral search functionality
  • Interactive object highlighting
  • Location-based navigation
  • Multi-view object identification
  • Rapid coral lookup


Customer Benefits

As reef systems grow and become more complex, locating specific corals or monitoring placement history can become difficult. ReefATLAS makes it easy to instantly locate and identify corals throughout the tank.



7) Fish & Invertebrates

The Fish & Invertebrates section provides livestock documentation and tracking for reef-safe fish and invertebrate species.


Key Features

  • Fish and invert tracking
  • Family and species categorization
  • Livestock photo uploads
  • Quantity tracking
  • Species documentation
  • Reef livestock database support


Customer Benefits

Managing livestock compatibility and documenting reef inhabitants becomes significantly easier with centralized tracking. ReefATLAS allows users to maintain a complete inventory of their reef ecosystem alongside coral and equipment data.



8) Dosing Calculator

The Dosing Calculator provides advanced reef chemistry correction calculations for alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium using multiple commercial and DIY dosing products.


Key Features

  • Alkalinity dosing calculations
  • Calcium dosing calculations
  • Magnesium dosing calculations
  • Product-specific chemistry factors
  • Manufacturer-calibrated dosing formulas
  • Safety recommendations
  • Multi-day correction planning
  • Support for:
    • BRS
    • Brightwell
    • Red Sea
    • ESV
    • Tropic Marin
    • Seachem
    • Aquaforest
    • DIY solutions


Customer Benefits

Maintaining stable reef chemistry is one of the most important aspects of reef keeping. ReefATLAS simplifies dosing calculations while reducing the risk of overcorrection by using chemistry-aware dosing logic and product-specific conversion factors.



Additional Platform Benefits


Centralized Reef Management

ReefATLAS eliminates the need for multiple spreadsheets, notes, apps, and disconnected tools by consolidating reef management into one platform.


Improved Coral Placement Decisions

By combining physical tank mapping with PAR and coral care guidance, users can make more informed placement decisions that improve coral health and growth.
