The Heart Behind AQUAintuition Consulting
Hi there!
We’re a husband-and-wife team of freshwater aquarium hobbyists who believe that every tank tells a story and that building one should feel exciting, calming, and deeply personal. What started as a shared home hobby has grown into AQUAintuition Consulting, a cozy, guidance-driven space for new and returning aquarists who want support in designing, building, and caring for beautiful freshwater fish-only aquariums.
Together, we’ve spent lots of time learning the rhythms of the hobby from the quiet joys of watching a betta make his first bubble nest, the satisfaction of nurturing a planted tank into balance, and the peace that comes from creating a thriving underwater world right inside the home.
We know what it feels like to start from scratch, to come back after a break, to ask “Is this normal?”, and to want a tank that feels right without the overwhelm.
At AQUAintuition, we bring a warm, down-to-earth approach to aquarium design. No pressure, no judgment, no commercial-scale jargon, just friendly, personalized suggestions and guidance shaped around your home, your lifestyle, and the kind of aquarium you dream of enjoying every day. Whether you're cycling your very first tank or returning to the hobby with fresh excitement, we’re here to help you build something beautiful, stable, and full of life.
From selecting fish that fit your vision… to designing aquascapes that feel peaceful and natural… to troubleshooting the “uh-oh” moments we all run into, we walk with you step by step, so your tank becomes a space you love, not a source of stress.
Welcome to AQUAintuition.
AQUAintuition Consulting provides hobbyist-level guidance, support, and design suggestions for home freshwater aquariums only. All services offered by AQUAintuition are based on personal experience as hobby freshwater aquarists and are intended for educational and informational purposes. We are not certified aquatic veterinarians, contractors, engineers, or licensed aquarium installers, and we do not provide medical diagnoses for fish, structural assessments, or commercial-scale system design.
Any recommendations regarding tank setup, cycling, water chemistry, stocking, aquascaping, or fish wellness are general suggestions based on best practices within the home aquarium hobby. Individual results may vary depending on water source, equipment, tank maturity, care routines, and environmental conditions. All decisions regarding tank construction, electrical components, equipment installation, or animal care are the responsibility of the aquarium owner.
By using our website, consulting services, design ideas, or written materials, you acknowledge that AQUAintuition Consulting is not liable for any loss, injury, or damages; direct, indirect, or incidental, that may arise from following our guidance or from the natural unpredictability of aquatic life.
If you have concerns involving structural integrity, electrical safety, significant livestock illness, large-scale systems, or commercial installations, please consult a licensed professional in that specific field.
Our goal is to help you build a beautiful, healthy freshwater aquarium with confidence and to do so safely, responsibly, and with transparency.
