Our Commitment to Accuracy

At The Aquarium Calculators, we take the responsibility of providing aquatic care information seriously. Our Editorial Policy explains how we research, write, and review our content, and how we aim to keep it accurate and grounded in current aquatic science.

Research Methodology

Our content is informed by:

  • Peer-Reviewed Journals: We reference published scientific literature in aquaculture and marine biology where relevant.
  • Veterinary Guidelines: We consult publicly available veterinary protocols for fish health and disease management.
  • Industry Standards: We draw on best practices commonly recognized within the aquarium hobbyist and aquaculture community.

The Review Process

  1. Drafting: Content is written by experienced aquarists and researchers.
  2. Scientific Review: Our Scientific Review Team evaluates the content for factual accuracy and safety before publication.
  3. Continuous Updates: We periodically review and update our content to reflect new research and discoveries. See our Corrections Policy for how we handle errors after publication.

Independence and Objectivity

Our editorial content and calculator outputs are not for sale. Sponsorships and affiliate relationships do not determine which products we mention, what our calculators output, or what care recommendations we make.

This Editorial Policy describes our internal process for researching and reviewing content. It does not change the fact that our tools and guides are for educational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional veterinary or aquatic consultation.
