What we help with
From first tank to reef — keep it simple and keep the fish alive.
-
Freshwater setups
Tank, stand, filter, and a plan that actually cycles before you add fish.
-
Saltwater & reefs
RODI water, marine salt, sumps, and livestock that fits your system.
-
Livestock & stocking
Healthy fish and clean-up crew — stocked the right way, not all at once.
-
Equipment & filters
HOB, canisters, sumps, heaters, lights — new or budget secondhand guidance.
-
Water testing
Bring a sample. Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate — know where you stand.
-
Maintenance help
Water changes, algae, cloudy water, sick fish. Plain answers, no lecture.
Meet David
Hey — I'm David. I help people start and keep their aquariums without guessing. Equipment, nitrogen cycle, stocking, sick fish, green water — I've heard it.
Every tank is different. I won't rush you into livestock before the water is ready, and I'll tell you when a five-gallon isn't the right home for that fish.

Cycle first
No fish until ammonia and nitrite hit zero. Patience beats a dead tank.
Honest stocking
Right size, right tank mates. Research before you buy — I'll help you do it.
Bring a sample
Water testing beats guessing when something looks off.
