Exactly the reason why we don't recommend the skimmer on the initial set-up. Our Deluxe kit does come with a selection of 4 soft corals to help keep nutrients down like xenia, star polyps, toadstools, and sinularia.

The Biota Aquarium is 22"L x 11.5"W x 15"H. Thank you for your interest!

Can we get in india?

The Biota Aquarium is only available in the USA. Thank you for your interest!

Unfortunately, due to cost prohibitive permits/shipping with live fish and corals we do not sell the Biota Aquarium outside of the USA. Thank you for your interest!

The live rock came from an established tank. I'm guessing that is how you can add that much live stock quickly.

Not at this time. Thank you for your interest in the Biota Aquarium.

Yes, you can buy the corals at a later date.

Unfortunately the costs to ship the animals with a US Fish & Wildlife export permit and Canadian Food Inspection Agency import permit make it cost prohibitive.

Han Thi go to a big als near your house, they’ll definitely have one

Mike E what?

The “creativity” that many aquarists enjoy can be a daunting task for the beginner. The Biota Aquarium was designed to make it simple for those that do not want to worry about fish compatibility, proper coral selection for a small tank, etc.

i have to agree. this is a great way to guide new reefers through the first steps of the hobby.

Biota Aquariums don't set a beginner up with a 13 gallon reef. They forget to top it off one day and that salinity is going to skyrocket. Also I think the price point is over priced. 299 is a bit more fair. 499 for a 25 gallon with 15 lbs of rock.

Kevin Wilson and everything aquariums- The concept is to get beginners into the hobby with conditioned, cultured livestock in a all-in-one package. We have hundreds running with no issues. The Biota Aquarium has a lid and evaporation is minimal. The set up guide explains weekly 1g water exchanges with specific gravity adjustments. The costs were broken down in a previous post: Thank you for your comment. The Biota Aquarium is designed to make all the choices for the consumer so they are not 'turned off' by the process of having to choose the proper equipment and compatible livestock. Did you include all the items below? Pricing below does not include the shipping of the tank itself and expedited FedEx of the live rock and fish/corals (2 separate shipments).

By slowly adding water to the bag, you gently raise the pH and dilute the ammonia concentration. We stop feeding our fish prior to shipping to help minimize waste that contributes to ammonia production. It's harder on a fish to go from a low pH (bag) to a high pH (aquarium) by dropping them straight into the tank. The best method is to drip acclimate your fish but this is not feasible for most people. Thank you for your comment.

Unfortunately, due to the high transport costs and permitting we are not shipping to the UK yet. We hope to expand and have a holding station in the EU next year! Stay tuned and thank you for your interest!

danieljckson Yes, we do! We shipped a Biota Aquarium to Kodiak, AK.

Yes, we do ship to Alaska but not Hawaii.

BIOTA. IS. A. RIP. OFF. I understand this is an package for a beginner to a hobby, but it charges you more than $200+ extra for LESS EQUIPMENT AND LIVESTOCK. Fluval Evo- 159.99 Standard Aquarium Thermometer- 3.99 Small Magfloat Magnetic Aquarium Cleaner- 8.99 Refractometer (Much more accurate)- 20 Eheim 100 Watt Heater- 25.99 Coralline Algae in a bottle- (Will turn dry rock into live rock at much cheaper price)- 19.99 Seachem Prime- 11.99 BRS Reef Saver Rock 10 LBS- 26.90 Bioactive Aragonite Sand- 12.99 Aquarium Timer- 8.99 Instant Ocean 50 Gallons (Much, MUCH, more than measly 15 gallons of salt given, and still cheaper)- 11.99 New Life spectrum pellets (60 times more than what BIOTA gives)- 5.99 ALSO ~ BIOTA DOES NOT INCLUDE ~ Hydor Automatic Top Off (will balance reef salinity) 69.99 API Saltwater Test Kit- 20 All of these are available on almost all major online retailers and will even ship internationally. The shipping range will exceed biota by a long shot. Almost everything biota claims to be doing better than other companies is invalidated by now. Just donate directly to a reef-helping cause if that's why you are buying this. In fact, you can donate hundreds more to helping out the oceans and recieve a better aquarium if you follow this. 2 Clownfish (Do not reccoment adding rainford goby. 2 fish is enough) PLUS 5 Assorted Coral Pack (One more than what Biota gives and $45 cheaper) on Saltwaterfishforsale.com all for... $115 INCLUDING shipping (Biota charges extra) and 130 with rainford goby. If you are buying everything here, the cost will turn up around $570 INCLUDING shipping, more corals, much higher quality equipment, more equipment, much longer supply of food and salt, and crucial test kits which they didn't even bother adding. Why pay $200+ extra for such a lacking and inferior product. Shame on you Biota, for taking advantage of starter saltwater hobbyists.

BADU Grime Media we hope to open up the market to the U.K. and EU next year.

Biota Aquariums ok

just research and make your own tank

We offer cultured Trochus and Cerith snails.

biotaaquariums.com

The 'Standard' package includes an 8-10 lb piece of cultured live rock, 2 captive-bred clownfish and 1 captive-bred Rainford's Goby. In addition to the items included in the Standard package the 'Deluxe' package adds 4 cultured soft corals.

No, the filtered freshwater is mixed with aquarium sea salt (included) and then you can order your live rock. The bio-active, cured live rock is then shipped. Once the live rock is received, the fish and corals (if selected) can then be sent. The whole process takes approximately 2 weeks. The secret to the fast set-up is the live sand, cured live rock and bacteria added each week with a 1 gallon water change starting once the fish/corals are received.

Devin Ozanne The Biota Aquarium comes complete with all dry goods and livestock included. Visit www.biotaaquariums.com for pricing.

All tanks need to cycle. By adding a biological enhancer, low bio-load, performing weekly water changes with high quality seawater in conjunction with controlled feedings the cycling period managed.

You can also fish cycle the tank with hardy fish

Thanks!

ChrisTheHobbyGuy we use "Real Reef Rock" that is man-made in CA

Can you explain man made or is it cultured rock from the Ocean?...

ChrisTheHobbyGuy it's made of calcium carbonate and cement and bio- activated in a land-based raceway using nitrifying bacteria; it has never been in the ocean

The protein skimmer is not needed with only 3 small fish and controlled feeding (micro spoon included). The live sand is only enough to cover the bottom glass and keep the aquarium aseptically pleasing therefore not a waste trap. The LED light is included as is all the other necessary hard goods.

Thanks for watching! The goal is to make it as simple as possible while still impressing upon people that these are captive-bred live animals and require attention like any pet.

No, it is ultra clear glass (low iron) but the black filter housing is probably what you are seeing.
