Frequently asked questions
Short and clear answers.
What can I do with Aqualizer?
Everything about your aquarium in one place: plan stocking and check compatibility,
record water parameters and have them analyzed by AI, get reminded of water changes and
fertilizing, get guided through a new tank's cycling phase – and share your tank with the community.
In short: less guesswork, healthier animals.
What is the Stocking Advisor – and why do I need it at the store?
The Stocking Advisor is your digital companion, even at the aquarium store counter.
Before you buy a new species, check right there: Does it get along with my stocking?
Does it have enough tankmates of its own kind? Does it fit my tank?
At home you see all your animals at a glance, get warnings for shoals that are too small,
and can build a wishlist for future purchases.
What does the Tank Planning Assistant do?
It suggests hardscape placement, planting and matching stocking for your tank –
as a schematic top-down view with a legend, not a generated image. You can either
reposition your existing plants, or plan completely from scratch, even with no
idea where to start. Editorially reviewed standard combinations are
free to use.
Is Aqualizer really free?
Yes – forever, not a trial. No credit card, no hidden costs.
One tank with stocking and water parameters, the cycling assistant, all calculators,
and 5 AI credits per month are free forever.
You also get 14 days of Premium as a welcome gift. When that runs out,
you automatically switch to the free version – nothing is charged
and there's nothing to cancel.
Will I be constantly pushed toward Premium?
No. Premium features are labeled as such in the app, nothing more.
You can use Aqualizer for years for free, without anyone
reminding you. If you eventually maintain several tanks or want more detailed
analysis, Premium costs €6.99 a month and can be canceled monthly.
Do I need an app?
No – no download required. Aqualizer runs entirely in the browser
on your phone, tablet or PC. You can save it as a web app on your
home screen – including push notifications like a native app.
Who is Aqualizer for?
For everyone – from beginners with their first tank to experienced hobbyists running several setups.
Beginners benefit from the guided cycling assistant and clear AI recommendations.
Advanced hobbyists use water parameter charts, treatment plans and the Stocking Advisor daily.
