We are a family here at Everything Aquatic & once you join you will have access to other non aquatic boards to share and make friends

We are the ORIGINAL/TRUE “Everything Aquatic” forum board created in 2005 and sponsored by Aquarium keeping "guru" Carl Strohmeyer based on his decades of experience and research (do not be fooled by the copycat forum board/store created around 2012 out of Medford OR and promoted by a broken Google Algorithm)

Our Mission at Everything Aquatic: help aquarium keepers by providing accurate science based information and helping people educate themselves through our library of articles.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Everything Aquatic Article Home

We also ask that whenever possible, forum users please support our sponsors.

Carl will not be available Aug. 11 thru Aug. 30 as he will be taking time off.

Or please consider a donation, even just $5 helps. If even 25% of users of this information donated just $5, it would be more income than one year of sales (currently less than 1/1000 of a % donate)
As our main Sponsor, AAP, generates almost no income for its owner as pressures from Amazon & others has decreased margins to less than 7%
Or think of it this way; most persons would not go to a full service restaurant and not leave a tip. Even if you walked into PetCo or any other "brick & mortar" retail establishment and they helped you with a question such as your sick fish, most would not leave without a purchase. Yet our stats software now shows that 99% of our information users no longer support this information monetarily!
