1-on-1 Aquarium Coaching with KaveMan Kev
Stop guessing.
Start with a plan built for your tank.
Private aquarium coaching for freshwater, saltwater, reef, planted, and African Cichlid aquariums. One call, one clear action plan.
If you've been asking any of these, you're in the right place.
"Why are my fish dying?"
"Why won't this algae go away?"
"Why is my water always cloudy?"
"Should I buy this filter?"
"What fish can I add?"
"Am I doing something wrong?"
Most hobbyists spend hundreds on equipment that never fixes the real problem. One aquarium coaching session usually costs less than the gear you'd have bought by mistake.
What we'll cover on your call
Tank setup
If you're a complete beginner, then we'll talk about all the equipment you need to get started and what tank setup would be best for your situation.
Fish
If you haven't yet got your fish, we'll look at all the different types of fish that are available to you. If you're having trouble with existing fish (disease, aggression, etc.) we'll take a deep dive and find the solution to your problems.
Maintenance
There is a lot that goes into maintaining. We'll talk about the nitrogen cycle, filtration, substrate, aeration, lighting, cycling, and more to ensure your fish live in an optimal environment.
Products
It's a minefield out there with overpriced, useless, cheap products. I wasted hundreds of dollars experimenting with all types of products for my tank and fish. I'll tell you exactly what products you need to be using, as well as the ones to stay away from.

A bit about me
I learned this the hard way so you don't have to.
I started like most people do. Dove straight in, wasted a lot of time, lost a lot of money, and struggled to keep my fish alive.
Wrong water parameters. Misleading forum advice on cycling. Overfeeding. Cloudy water I couldn't fix.
Six years and 275,000+ subscribers later, I've helped thousands of hobbyists skip that entire learning curve.
The help doesn't stop when the call ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is each aquarium coaching session?
Is this phone or video?
Your choice.
Phone works great.
Google Meet video is recommended if you’d like to show me your aquarium live.
Freshwater or Saltwater?
Both.
I coach hobbyists with freshwater, planted, African Cichlid, FOWLR, and reef aquariums.
Do I need water test results?
They’re helpful but not required.
If needed, I’ll tell you exactly which tests to perform before our session.
What happens after booking?
You’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to schedule your session. After booking, you can leave me information about your aquarium, equipment, livestock, goals, and current challenges so I can review everything before we meet.
Do you guarantee you’ll solve my problem?
Every aquarium is unique, so no one can honestly guarantee a specific outcome.
What I can guarantee is that you’ll receive my honest recommendations and a personalized plan based on years of hands-on experience.
Ready to stop guessing?
Your tank deserves a plan built for it, not random opinions from the internet.
