Hey !

Iā€™m Will Shannon, founder of Aquariums For Beginners, lifelong aquarium enthusiast, and someone whoā€™s spent more hours testing water parameters than Iā€™d care to admit.

Today, weā€™re launching something special.
And as someone whoā€™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.

Thatā€™s why I built Aquariums For Beginnersā€”to simplify the hobby, empower newcomers, and foster a supportive community.

But as weā€™ve grown to 500,000+ members, itā€™s become clear:
Our free resources alone canā€™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 youā€™ve requested

Today, weā€™re changing thatā€¦
