Whether you're filling your very first tank or caring for a thriving reef, AquaBuddy is by your side every step of the way teaching you so you learn too. Learn everything you need to cycle with confidence, understand your water, livestock and get calm, friendly guidance whenever you need it — from a companion who actually knows your aquarium and learns your level of knowledge too. So if you're a complete beginner or a master reefer the advice you get is suited to you. Because healthier tanks mean happier fish and happy keepers! YOUR DAILY ROUTINE AquaBuddy looks over your tanks every morning and tells you exactly what needs doing today — and why. Feeding, water changes, filter cleans, tests. Your routine adapts to what's actually happening: nitrate creeping up moves your water change forward, a recent loss means a closer look at your parameters, a cycling tank just needs testing and patience. And when nothing needs doing, he'll tell you that too. A COMPANION THAT KNOWS YOUR TANK Ask AquaBuddy anything. Cycling a new aquarium, worried about a fish, planning what to add next — you'll get practical guidance built around your setup, your water and your history, not generic advice that fits everyone and no one. Show him a photo to identify fish, corals, invertebrates and plants, or to help spot common problems early. Diagnose deficiencies, algae and melting, with recommendations based on your own parameters. Optional voice responses mean hands-free help while your arms are in the tank. AQUABUDDY COLLEGE Learn the hobby properly. Over 45 full courses — from your first tropical tank to expert marine and cichlid keeping — each with bite-sized lessons, quizzes and a real certificate to earn. Do the course before you buy the fish, and keep with confidence. From Betta and Guppy to Clownfish, Shrimp and African Cichlids, with new courses added regularly. AquaBuddy even tailors his advice around what you’ve learned. Foundation to Expert. Freshwater, marine and planted WATER LAB Log water tests by hand or scan your test kit. AquaBuddy tracks your trends over time and explains what your results actually mean, so problems get spotted before they become emergencies. Calibrated for API Freshwater, API Saltwater, JBL ProAquaTest and NT Labs — with manual entry for any test kit. GUIDED TANK CYCLING Perfect for beginners.
