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.

Because Kev reviews your setup beforehand, the whole call goes to solving problems, not gathering information.

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.

"With one call, you'll bypass the learning curve most beginners spend years on."

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is each aquarium coaching session?
Most coaching sessions last between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on your aquarium and your questions.

Your choice.
Phone works great.
Google Meet video is recommended if you’d like to show me your aquarium live.

Both.
I coach hobbyists with freshwater, planted, African Cichlid, FOWLR, and reef aquariums.

They’re helpful but not required.
If needed, I’ll tell you exactly which tests to perform before our session.

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.

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.
