Aquarium Store Depot Blog

The Aquarium Store Depot blog covers freshwater and saltwater fishkeeping for beginners and longtime hobbyists. Mark Valderrama and his team write species care guides, tank setup tutorials, and equipment reviews drawn from 25 years in the hobby.

You will learn how to cycle a tank, treat ich, raise or lower pH, and pick fish that get along. Guides run from bettas and African cichlids to corals, shrimp, and planted tank aquascaping.

The site also hosts free tools, including a tank volume calculator, dosing calculators, and a fish compatibility chart.
