Aquarium Science Hasn’t Changed

Dive into the fascinating world of aquariums.

It's a common misconception that the science in aquariums differs from that in nature. But let's debunk this myth.

Aquariums are not enigmatic entities, they're just microcosms of the natural world. Sure, we don't have all the answers, but our understanding has grown leaps and bounds over the past few decades.

Yet, it's intriguing to see how some folks still cling to outdated notions from 30 years ago. It's not because they're accurate, but simply because it's easier than keeping up with the latest research.

So, let's not be lazy aquarists. Let's dive into the depths of knowledge and keep our understanding as fresh as the water in our tanks.

Follow for more insights into the fascinating science behind aquariums and how it's evolved over the years.

Why Aquarium Advice Is Wrong

Aquarium advice online - is it stuck in the past?

It's a sad truth that much of it is not only outdated but also repetitive, with everyone echoing the same old advice.

But here's the twist - we're different. We've done our homework, we've dug into the research, and we're not afraid to challenge the status quo.

For instance, it's a common belief that nitrifying bacteria use ammonium NH₄⁺ - but this is simply not true.

Remember, just because something has been repeated for 30 years, doesn't make it right. Science is about building on new knowledge, not clinging to old dogmas.

So, let's dive into the fresh waters of modern aquarium science together, and leave the outdated advice behind.

Follow for more up-to-date and scientifically accurate aquarium advice.
