ReefMind weekly update
Your Livestock list just made camera ID sharper
This week the camera started using the animals you actually keep. That is the change we want every reefer to feel.
In the seven days ending August 23 we merged 54 check-ins into ReefMind — including 11 feature deliveries and 29 fixes. Over the last two weeks that is 140 check-ins, 19 features, and 87 fixes.
Those numbers are not the product. They are the sound of reefers reporting real tanks, and us shipping the next useful piece instead of sitting on a pile of tickets.
The big one: visual ID + Livestock
ReefMind can now ground fish camera summaries in your tank’s Livestock list — the tangs, angels, clowns, and corals you already told us you keep.
That is a deliberate step, not a parlor trick. Chemistry can tell you a number. A camera can show you the part of the story a probe cannot see. When the camera also knows who lives in the tank, the summary can talk about your fish and your corals instead of guessing from a generic catalog.
Keep that Livestock list current. Add the animals you actually have. The next camera summary has a real roster to work from — and we are already pushing the next pieces: coral identification, richer fish identification, and a tighter path from “Captain Chris thinks this is X” into the Livestock add form.
Honest boundary: imagery is context. It is not proof of exact species, diagnosis, disease, health, or what caused a change. Use it to look closer. Then confirm with your own eyes and your test kit.
What you can actually use
The new ReefMind.ai look. The public site has the new homepage and a mobile menu that now shows the full set of public pages — About, blog, pricing, legal — so a phone is not a dead end.
Pricing that matches what you clicked. The in-app Subscription page now lines up with the public pricing page, so the number you see after login is the same offer the website just showed you.
Dosing you can trust more. Mapping, schedules, and provider identity stayed distinct this week — Apex DOS, Hydros temperature probes, GHL observations, and removed mappings no longer quietly rewrite the tank you meant to keep.
Triton on iPhone. Uploading a Triton ICP PDF from an iPhone no longer fights the file picker.
Live video is getting sharper — and we are not done. Capable new Collectors can run Full HD when the hardware proves it can. We are still working the live-video path hard: bitrate, proven frame width, recovery. If your stream is not there yet, that is on us, and it is actively being improved. More fish and coral identification work is next in the same spirit.
Come meet us at Reef-A-Palooza California
If you are anywhere near Anaheim next weekend, come find us. Reef-A-Palooza California is Saturday–Sunday, August 29–30, 2026 at the Anaheim Marriott, 700 W Convention Way.
Brett Miller is speaking Saturday, August 29 at 3:00 p.m. — AI for Reefkeepers: Building a Real Reef Tank Assistant. Come hear how data, trusted knowledge, vision, and continuity turn a chat box into something that actually helps a reef tank. Then stop by, say hi, show us the weird equipment combo you run at home, and tell us what ReefMind should understand next.

Crew shout-out
ReefMind does not get better in a lab. It gets better because reefers file the weird case, the missing button, the “this fish is actually a foxface.” This week’s Discord tickets, bugs, and feature asks came from Shock, Geek16432, Gonzalo, ParrotFish89, Prozac, Michi, Didi, David, and Jeff.
If you see them in Discord, thank them. If you have the next bug or the next “what if,” bring it. That is how the next week’s update gets written.
And we are just getting started.
