Do-It-Yourself projects are one of the reasons why I became so interested in the aquarium hobby. Many think that owning an aquarium has to be an expensive venture due to the price of required gear.
This is not completely untrue, but having the skills to build and incorporate filters, light fixtures and various accessories can end up saving you a ton of money that you can invest in the fish and plants that matter most!

Aquarium science is my favorite thing about the hobby. Being a scientist, I am constantly intrigued and amazed with the biochemical and microbiological processes taking place in the planted aquarium; it's one of the reasons why I decided to study nitrifying bacteria in graduate school.
I truly believe that having a good understanding of basic microbiology and plant physiology will help you to master the aquatic environment of your aquarium.
Every month we highlight a freshwater fish and plant in hopes of teaching you something new and helping you make a better decision in regards to selecting the best fish and plants for your tank.
It takes decades of experience to learn just a fraction of the information required to be a fish and or plant guru. We do our best to bring you highly researched and planned videos with the most accurate information.

Sometimes you can't Do-It-Yourself. There are tons of required aquarium products that you simply can't make or don't feel comfortable building. These reasons are why we decided to bring you a product review video every month.
These videos are not paid for or sponsored by any company. The equipment we review is chosen by Mike because he has bought it, tested it, used it and approved of it after months if not years of owning it. These reviews are honest and to the point so you can find out what gear is worth it and what isn't!
