Приєднався 22 чер 2021
We distill years of personal experiences as hobbyists into short, practical, and detailed step-by-step tutorials for freshwater, saltwater, and brackish water aquariums. Focusing on interesting and less covered subjects, we bring you a wide range of topics from setting up Opae Ula tanks to starting a red wiggler worm bin to feed your axolotl or puffer fishes.
It is our hope that these guides help viewers set-off on the right track to successful aquariums and avoid common pitfalls that often result in feeling overwhelmed and/or frustrated when first starting out.
Thank you for joining us on this mission to make everyday fishkeeping easy, simple, and enjoyable!
