    Livestock Captive-Bred Biota Mandarins

    Everyone knows us for our captive-bred mandarins and for great reason! Our mandarins are fed a diet of pellet and frozen foods so when they get into your tank they're already acclimated and ready to thrive. Check out this video of a group of them chowing down on some TDO B2 and PE hatchery...

    ORA: Full Spectrum vs. Actinic Glow

    In this day in age, what is more desirable to us hobbyists? Is it the new designer corals with flashy names and vibrant coloration found under that "actinic glow" or the classic showstoppers that set the foundation for generations of reef hobbyists before us? What category of reefer are you...

    Farming the ocean

    Greetings from a new member, I have lurked and liked this site for a bit. This quarantine is serious and tedious, but it has allowed me to get after my Caribbean coral rearing setup (2 frag tanks with a turf algae scrubber) to the point where I feel like I have conquered the hair algae plague. I...

    Taking the plunge: Opening a small botique local fish store. Wise words, best retail display equipment, lessons learned?

    My photography is still a work in progress. Almost twenty years ago to the day, ten-year-old me opened a large rectangular gift. A 20g aquarium, a hood and a light, and a HOB filter. That gift would ultimately land me here writing this post. Being the product of an avid diver and a diving...

    Aquacultured Inverts, Sponges & Gorgonians?

    Who’s currently aquaculturing a variety of: • Photosynthetic sponges • Photosynthetic gorgonians • Rarer inverts • Cleaner shrimp, etc.? I’d love to support them and give them kudos. It’s hard to find a reliable source of these that are 100% aquacultured.

    Aquacultured livestock

    I'm trying to stay away from wild caught livestock for my reef tank, especially as it pertains to the fish. What are some good sites that sell aquacultured livestock, and other than clowns, what fish can be found that are aquacultured?

    Philosophical Question: What makes a coral aqua-cultured?

    I got into this hobby with a self-challenge to keep an entire reef system taking nothing directly from the ocean, keeping only "captive bred" or "aqua-cultured" livestock. Philosophically I feel this is the long-term future of the hobby and I was curious if it is possible today. I started my...
