    Step 1: Start with the Beginner guide

    Three guides run in order, from Beginner to Expert. Begin with the first and the month stops being a pile of advice.

  2. Illustrative image: hands holding a test tube of aquarium water beside test bottles and a colour card.

    Step 2: Write the water down

    Test, then log each result on a printable water parameter tracker, so the numbers make a pattern you can read.

  3. Illustrative image: a hand wiping green algae from the inside of a freshwater tank with a magnetic scraper.

    Step 3: Name the algae, keep the schedule

    Match what is growing on the glass with the algae diagnosis tool, then follow the maintenance schedule.
