Affiliate Disclosure
Welcome to Penney the Clownfish. We’re all about keeping things clear as the coral reefs we love. That means being upfront with you about how we operate. Integrity matters here, just like it does in a healthy saltwater tank. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how they work, and what they mean for you.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are simple: when you click a link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Think of it as a tiny thank-you from the retailer for sending a fellow ocean enthusiast their way. These commissions help us cover the costs of running this site, testing products, and keeping the content flowing. We only include affiliate links for products we genuinely recommend, whether it’s a reliable protein skimmer or a reef-safe test kit.
Our Commitment to Honest Recommendations
Affiliate relationships never influence what we say or recommend. We test gear, research thoroughly, and share what we’ve learned from real-world aquarium experience. If a product doesn’t perform, we’ll tell you — affiliate link or not. Our editorial integrity is non-negotiable. Every recommendation comes from a place of wanting to help you build a thriving underwater world, not from a commission check.
Sponsored Content & Partnerships
From time to time, we work with brands on sponsored content or receive products for review. When that happens, we’ll always label it clearly — whether it’s a “Sponsored” tag or a note at the top of the post. We maintain full editorial control over everything we publish. A paid partnership doesn’t mean a free pass. We’ll still tell you the truth about that filter, light, or supplement, good and bad.
Your Trust, Our Priority
Trust is the water we swim in. If you ever have questions about a link, a product recommendation, or how we handle anything on this site, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can email us anytime at [email protected]. We’re here to help you keep your tank healthy and your mind at ease.
