The Tint episodes

  • Short-term lapses...Long-term successes!
    What would happen if you let your natural, botanical-style aquarium “go” for a bit.? You know, skip a water exchange or two, etc... would it “crash”, or simply continue to operate?

  • The Power of “Generic Tropical”
    We love utilizing natural materials in our aquariums. However, we try not to get too carried away at making sure that every item in our biotope-themed aquarium is the EXACT material found in the habitat we seek to represent. Rather, we rely on the power of “Generic Tropical!”

  • Hangin' with a legendary fish geek: Rachel O'Leary!

    Arguably one of the aquarium hobby's most dynamic personalities, Rachel O'Leary has cemented her place as an icon. Whether it's traveling to a local club or conference, crushing it on her YouTube channel, or just hanging out in her amazing fish room, Rachel has been an inspiration to thousands of hobbyists worldwide. We were fortunate enough to grab her for about an hour and just talk "fish stuff." She shares her experiences, opinions, and philosophies in what's sure to be an enjoyable episode! The sound quality was a bit rough at times (internet connection 😂), but the message and lessons are loud and clear!

  • The “Aesthetic Primer” revisited...
    I’ll be first to admit it- our tanks look entirely different than many we’ve come to expect in the hobby. And it’s largely based on the very materials which we employ in our aquariums. Periodically, we need to remind the “mainstream” hobby that there IS a reason why... and that it’s pretty cool!

  • Keeping it real...
    After several years of being pretty loud about all sorts of topics related to botanical-style aquariums, I still see a fair number of misconceptions and outdated misunderstandings- and even myths- about these systems tossed about in the hobby. Time to “keep it real” and clarify a few of the more common ones!

  • Setting the stage...
    An aquascape requires a plan, the right pieces, and execution on the part of the aquarist. A botanical-style aquarium requires all of those things- and the passage of time, to fully set the stage and create something special..

  • A most intimate relationship
    The amazing interdependencies between land and water create fascinating aquatic habitats. If we study these unique relationships, we can learn a tremendous amount about how our fishes thrive in them..
