What a good course covers
- System types (media beds, rafts, towers) and which suits your space and budget.
- Water chemistry you will actually test: pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, temperature, dissolved oxygen.
- Fish choice under Florida's rules, stocking and feeding, and what summer heat does to oxygen.
- Plants that pay: what grows well in Florida's seasons (our planting calendar is the start).
- Failures and fixes: pump outages, pests, algae, and the first month's cycling.
