Do you have to be associated with a University to publish results from an experiment you have done?

To be honest, you need to look at who is the audience. If its hobbyist, then you should be targeting them and writing in hobby mags. If its scientist then you need to make sure you work is replicated and your methods are repeatable. If its both, I'd suggest publishing something in Advanced Aquarium or some other online mag that hobbyist can read and Scientist might find interesting. CORAL might work as well. Google works wonders nowadays so its a lot easier to find information if you put it out there.
I'd even go as far as to say just because something is published in the peer-reviewed literature doesn't mean its better than a well written hobby article that conveys important information to its target audience.
