This week is a holiday special! Two weeks ago I was on vacation with my good friend Jan-Lucas, who owns the website www.shinycarproject.com, and we went scuba diving. It was an amazing experience. We saw loads of colorful fish and I got inspiration that I can apply in my own aquariums. I hope you enjoy this podcast!

Is it possible to build a healthy and thriving aquarium without additional fertilization, CO2 or filtration? Today I share my though on this subject with you guys!

Today I tell you about my experience with Old Tank Syndrome. How I sadly killed 2 beautiful fish because I did not do my own research properly. OTS is sneaky, and it can happen to your aquarium too if you're not careful. Check out my Youtube video about OTS here. For more written information about OTS, check out my website article here.
