If You’re Still Searching for Answers, You’re in the right place.
"Why are my fish dying?"
"Why won't this algae go away?"
"Why is my water always cloudy?"
“Is my filtration actually enough?”
"What fish can I add?"
“Why does everyone online tell me something different?”
The aquarium hobby has no shortage of information. The problem is figuring out which information actually applies to YOUR tank — and having someone hold your hand through fixing it. You can spend months watching videos, chasing forum advice, and replacing equipment one guess at a time. Sometimes you need one experienced set of eyes on the problem. Sometimes you need someone in your corner for 30 straight days until the tank is actually right.

What's Covered in Coaching
Tank setup
If you’re a complete beginner, 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 got your fish yet, we’ll look at what’s available. Already having trouble with existing fish? We’ll dig in and find the solution.
Maintenance
There’s a lot to it. We’ll talk through the nitrogen cycle, filtration, substrate, aeration, lighting, and more to keep your tank at its optimum.
Products
It’s a minefield of overpriced, useless products. I’ll tell you exactly what you need to be using — and what 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.
12 years and 275,000+ subscribers later, I've helped thousands of hobbyists skip that entire learning curve.
That experience is exactly why 30-Day Consulting works — I've seen almost every version of every problem, so I know which fixes actually hold and which ones just look good for a week.
The help doesn't stop when the call ends.

Every future coaching session

30-day money-back guarantee
If the session isn't worth it, say so within 30 days and you'll get a full refund. No questions asked — I'd rather refund a session than have you feel like it was a waste.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can an aquarium coach help me with?
Aquarium coaching can help with everything from fish health, algae, cloudy water, filtration, stocking, water chemistry, and equipment choices to planning an entirely new aquarium. During your private session, we’ll focus specifically on your aquarium, your goals, and the problems you’re trying to solve.
How is 30-Day Consulting different from a coaching session?
It’s a different offer built for ongoing, hands-on help rather than a single conversation. See the full details here →
Is aquarium coaching good for beginners?
Absolutely. One-on-one aquarium coaching can help beginners avoid many of the expensive mistakes that come with setting up and maintaining a new aquarium. We’ll cover your tank setup, equipment, filtration, cycling, stocking, maintenance, and anything else you need to confidently move forward.
Can you help with both freshwater and saltwater aquariums?
Yes. I provide private aquarium coaching for freshwater, planted, African Cichlid, saltwater, FOWLR, and reef aquariums. Your session is built around your specific aquarium, livestock, equipment, and goals.
How long is each aquarium coaching session?
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 more than random opinions from the internet. Whether you need one answer or 30 days of hands-on help, there’s a way to work with me that fits.
