Saltwater aquariums can last for decades, but you may be hesitant to set up your dream aquarium because you've heard that they can be difficult to start. A stable, mature saltwater aquarium is easier to care for, but the most perilous time in an aquarium’s life is during the first few months when you also happen to have the least experience. Let the experts at Biota guide you so you can sail through the beginning stages and enjoy a stable reef for years to come.

Biota marine biologists intelligently engineered a reliable kit for beginners with all the parts needed to get you started. Our fish are all captive raised and better suited to life in aquariums than wild fish. A handy list of recommended fish and coral for each size kit takes all the guess work out of stocking your Biota Aquarium with your favorite species. We even stock some exciting fish that you can't find anywhere else in the world.

The quality and reliability of the equipment you use on your aquarium is important to its long term success. Our kits come with equipment hand picked by Biota marine biologists. We chose our favorite components that work best for our own aquariums, and not the brands that would give us the best discounts. We're so confident in the quality of our kit and livestock that we offer an unheard of 30 day livestock guarantee on livestock purchased directly from our facility for our Biota aquarium kits!
