  • Stage 3 – Freshwater Aquariums
  • Stage 4 – Saltwater Aquariums
  • Stage 5 – Pond Basics
  • Stage 6 – Species Guides and Sourcing
  • Stage 7 – Equipment Maintenance

  • Stage 9 – Business Building
  • Stage 10 – Final Exam & Graduation
PREVIEW STAGE 1

Meet the Author – Ethan Mizer

Ethan Mizer took an interest in fishkeeping and aquariums at a young age, transforming his love for the hobby into a career in the pet industry. Ethan began his career in journalism for Freshwater and Marine Aquarium Magazine, eventually becoming the managing editor for the publication. He has also covered the aquarium industry for Pet Product News, as managing editor and freelance writer.

Ethan’s interest in aquariums grew as he worked directly with professional aquarists, fishkeeping experts and leaders in the industry. Here, Ethan learned the intricacies of fishkeeping and aquarium maintenance and began keeping more advanced tank systems.

Now, Ethan continues to write about the aquarium industry and hopes that his work will help support its growth and educate new aquarists and aquarium maintenance professionals.

Many of these aquariums are quite extensive and all need to be maintained.  Aquatics Maintenance businesses are usually most successful in large population areas as that is often where the greatest opportunities lie.  The aquatics maintenance service industry has grown in the last 10 years as greater numbers of people have come to realize that it can actually save them money and time if they work with a professional in the care and maintenance of their aquatic environments.
