When it comes to reef systems, fishkeepers are looking for color, vibrancy and life. As the category continues to grow and evolve, hobbyists are building more balanced systems with a variety of livestock, rather than the coral-only tanks of the past. And thanks to the result of years of research and advances in captive breeding and aquaculture, these customer demands are able to be met in a way that is affordable and successful.


“What we’re seeing more is people moving away from large coral show tanks to something with more live rock, smaller fish and a variety of invertebrates,” said Kevin Gaines, owner of Biota Aquariums. “This creates a more balanced, healthier reef environment.”


The changing focus of reefkeeping is translating to growth on the retail side of things. This fall, Triad Reef Critters, a full-service aquarium store in Greensboro, North Carolina, which opened in 2012, plans to move to a new facility, expanding from its current size of 2,600 square feet to 5,000 square feet.

Triad Reef Critters is just one example of the growth seen in the saltwater category. According to the latest survey by the American Pet Products Association, ownership of saltwater fish is at 2.5 million households, the highest ever noted. That growth can be attributed to more sources, types of farming and a greater awareness regarding sustainable practices go.
