Drawing from over a decade of hands-on experience in both aquarium and terrarium design, I offer comprehensive 60-minute online consultations that address every aspect of your aquatic or terrestrial setup. Having navigated countless challenges—from algae outbreaks and plant deficiencies to complex ecosystem balancing—I bring real-world expertise that goes beyond theoretical knowledge.

My extensive background spans freshwater planted tanks, paludariums, and closed-loop terrariums. This diverse experience means I understand the intricate relationships between lighting, substrate, water chemistry, plant selection, and livestock compatibility that make or break an ecosystem. Whether you're dealing with a stubborn brown algae problem, planning a high-tech CO2 system, designing your first biotope tank, or creating a Paludarium. I've likely built it, encountered it and solved similar if not the exact same challenges.

During your personalized consultation, we'll dive deep into your specific situation. I'll analyze your current setup through screen sharing or photos, identifying optimization opportunities you might have missed. We'll discuss water parameters, lighting schedules, fertilization regimens, and equipment upgrades tailored to your goals and budget. For new projects, I'll guide you through species selection, hardscape design principles, and maintenance schedules that actually work long-term. I’ll also cover real preventative measures not bandaid solutions. This will properly keep you out of trouble as, prevention is always easier than fixing the problem.

This isn't generic guidance—it's targeted problem-solving based on years of trial, error, and success. I'll share specific product recommendations that I've personally tested, warn you about common pitfalls that can derail your progress, and provide actionable maintenance strategies that fit your lifestyle. You'll also receive follow-up resources, including care sheets and reference materials customized to your setup.

Having maintained numerous successful systems over the years (I keep 14 aquariums myself *all filterless*)—from <20-litre nano tanks to <1600-litre planted ponds—I understand what works in practice, not just theory. My approach focuses on sustainable, low-maintenance solutions that deliver stunning visual results while keeping your aquatic inhabitants healthy and thriving.
