Who is Fish Geeks? Simply put, Fish Geeks is me…or at least, it started that way. I am a Professional Aquarist with experience at nationally renowned facilities such as the Shedd Aquarium (Chicago, IL) and the Minnesota Zoo (Apple Valley, MN).
As a Fish Geeks Aquarist, I am able to employ the knowledge I garnered at public aquariums and combine it with the experience I amassed working for several prominent local fish retailers/wholesalers, as well as what I learned as hobbyist myself. Using this knowledge, a bit of ambition, and a whole lot of work, I launched my own aquarium cleaning service in 2010.
I’ve taken a lifelong passion and turned it into my career. When you choose Fish Geeks, you are choosing a level of enthusiasm and dedication to excellence that is unmatched by most in the industry.

The perfect aquarium is simply awaiting your discovery.
Preparing your driftwood to add to your home aquarium or terrarium requires that it be both clean and sterile. There is real potential to bring pests and pathogens into the captive environment if proper techniques aren’t followed.
The first consideration you should make when considering going on a driftwood collection trip is the rules in your local municipality.
oaking the pieces for a few weeks to saturate them with water can work, but can be time consuming. Additionally, not all pieces will take on enough water to achieve negative buoyancy. Weighing the pieces down with rocks during soaking can speed the process…but sometimes that’s not enough.
