Reef aquariums market

It also has various types of fish such as clownfish, tangs, and gobies, which play an important role in maintaining the tropical coral reef environment. A reef aquarium requires turbulent water movement, intense lighting, and more stable water chemistry.

However, high cost of the reef aquariums is one of the major restraining factor for growth of the global market.
