    Simply amazing. I hope more and more fish species keep on coming from captive breeding. Thanks for sharing, Reef builders.

    Love Biota! They got me started in the hobby with their tank a year ago (amazing customer service btw), and I quickly spun down the rabbit hole into obsession. Had to expand to a 66 gallon about 8 months later. Love what they're doing with captive bred fish.

    Thank God I stumbled upon this video! I have been researching and researching on how to start a frag tank. Well I found out they sell complete setups for a great price so I will look no further now. I'm buying the 13 gallon complete setup from them. Great video and thank you!

    I would have no problem paying the extra $20 per yellow tang!! Especially since there are no more wild caught from Hawaii.. Glad to see someone captive breeding them!! Thank Jake! Hope Reefstock in Denver is still happening in Feb'18??

      @@mikkelkirketerp4884 , didn't know if u knew... Yes, my Large Blond Naso Tang was bought for $79 and if you can even get one these days, was $900 last year for same size mine is now.. That is fricken ridiculous... Everything has doubled or tripled in price, and not just fish and coral.. Just dropped another 2K$ on 4 lights, so this hobby ain't cheap no more... Did a tally mentally on my system and have an easy $15K invested by now just on equipment ;( But it is one of two addictions I have next to fast rides (hand rebuilt Saleen Mustang and hand built pro-stock 117cube wide-tire Harley;) Parts for them ain't cheap either..

    But I have one question:
    I have picked out fish I would like to stock the tank with but I am not sure how many I can put in, so I was wondering how many fish would you recommend me put in to my 200 L salt water reef tank
