Livestock management

Keep livestock records accurate so routines, risk analysis, and recommendations stay relevant.

Who this is for

Users stocking mixed reefs, fish-heavy systems, or frequent additions.

How to use this part of Reefly

  1. Assign each livestock entry to the correct tank to avoid false routine signals.
  2. Use clear labels and update entries after additions, losses, or transfers.
  3. Check stocking context before adding sensitive coral or fish species.
  4. Reference livestock composition when interpreting behavior or stress signs.

Get the most out of it

  • Record changes on the same day; delayed updates degrade recommendation quality.
  • Use standardized naming for repeat species to improve future review clarity.
  • Plan bioload increases around stable parameter windows, not convenience.
