Meet Danny! 👋
Hi! My name is Danny, I'm 23 years old and live in the Netherlands. I've been documenting my aquarium journey on social media since 2015, where I go by the name Danny's Aquariums. Aquariums have been a passion of mine since I was a little kid, and over the years, I've had a number of setups. From freshwater aquariums with guppy fish to nano reef tanks, and today, a saltwater paludarium combining both sides of our hobby!

About Danny's setup
There’s really nothing else like Danny’s Aquarium. It’s a one-of-a-kind setup that brings a reef tank and a freshwater vivarium together in a way you almost never see. Four X4s run the main display on a full daylight spectrum, with a fifth X4 lighting a tall mangrove growing above the tank.
Corals below, plants above, reef structure turning into jungle canopy — everything connects into one system. It’s a mix of saltwater and freshwater that pushes past the usual boundaries of the hobby.
