Aquarium Size in Gallons *

This Aquarium Ecology Management Plan is custom-tailored to your specific system. Applying it to any other aquarium size, or misrepresenting your system details, voids all guarantee and may cause system failure and loss of fish.

Primary Species *

This keystone species determines your aquarium's entire ecological balance. Our plan will calculate compatible tankmates, bioload limits, water chemistry targets, and maintenance protocols specifically for this species' requirements. Plan is non-transferable to other species.

Secondary Species

Compatible tank mates for your primary species selection. Include clean-up crew (snails, shrimp), compatible fish species, or other invertebrates. Our plan will verify ecological compatibility.

What is Your Tapwater's General Hardness (GH) Range? *--- Select Choice ---Very Soft (0-50 ppm) - Like rainwaterSoft (51-100 ppm) - Ideal for most tropical speciesModerately Hard (101-200 ppm) - Common municipal waterHard (201-300 ppm) - Livebearers & some cichlidsVery Hard (300+ ppm) - African cichlids/Rift Lake speciesI don't knowI use RO/DI water (custom remineralization)

What is Your Tapwater's Carbonate (KH) Range? *--- Select Choice ---Very Low (0-35 ppm / 0-2 dKH) - Minimal buffering, pH unstableLow (36-70 ppm / 2-4 dKH) - Light buffering, pH may driftModerate (71-105 ppm / 4-6 dKH) - Good stability for most tanksHigh (106-180 ppm / 6-10 dKH) - Strong buffering, stable pHVery High (180+ ppm / 10+ dKH) - African cichlids/specialized systemsI don't know (testing recommended)I use RO/DI water (custom buffering)

What is Your Tapwater's pH Range? *--- Select Choice ---Acidic (pH < 6.5) - Rare in tapwater, may be treated/softenedNeutral (pH 6.5-7.5) - Ideal for most community tanksSlightly Alkaline (pH 7.6-8.0) - Common tapwater, good for plantsAlkaline (pH 8.1-8.5) - Livebearers, African cichlidsHighly Alkaline (pH > 8.5) - Specialized systems onlyI don't know / Highly variable

What Best Describes Your Approach to Water Replenishment?

• The Analyst - Test results dictate all water changes
• The Denialist - Prefer not to think about my approach
• The Diluter - Small, frequent changes (10-20% weekly)
• The Naturalist - Minimal changes, let ecosystem self-regulate
• The Outsourcer - Pay professionals to handle maintenance
• The Overwhelmed - Need simple, foolproof instructions
• The Rebel - Question traditional water change advice entirely
• The Resetter - Large, infrequent water changes (40-50% monthly)
• The Ritualist - Same day/time/amount every week regardless
• The Tinkerer - Constantly experimenting with different approaches
