Hey !

I’m Will Shannon, founder of Aquariums For Beginners, lifelong aquarium enthusiast, and someone who’s spent more hours testing water parameters than I’d care to admit.

Today, we’re launching something special.
And as someone who’s been here since the early days, you get first dibs.

Why This Matters

When I was 14, my father agreed to help me set up my first reef tank on one condition:

I had to read four dense textbooks cover-to-cover.

That experience taught me two things:

  1. Passion for aquariums knows no bounds.

  1. Learning should never feel like a chore.

That’s why I built Aquariums For Beginners—to simplify the hobby, empower newcomers, and foster a supportive community.

But as we’ve grown to 500,000+ members, it’s become clear:
Our free resources alone can’t keep up with demand.

  • 1,000+ daily questions in the Facebook group

  • Scammers and bots making it harder to find real, helpful advice

  • Weeks-long delays on in-depth blog topics you’ve requested

Today, we’re changing that…
