The calendar/schedule was introduced in version 4.0 of the program and allows you to plan events, tasks and activities on a daily basis.

The four vertical lists at the top right show, from left to right,: yesterday, today, tomorrow and the day after activities. Selecting in the calendar at the top left, a day other than today the lists show the following order:

The day before the chosen date, the chosen date, the day after the selected date and the next one.

The same area is used for the insertion of a new tasks.

Any activity can be linked to a specific aquarium (eg. changing a lamp) or all aquariums (eg. the weekly water change - in the case is due on the same day for all tanks) or to no one aquarium. This field allows you to specify which aquarium the activity is related to. By default there is the aquarium currently selected if any.
