50 new products crossed the Reef Builders News Desk in 2023, and looking through the list there were several major product launches from some of the biggest brands in the saltwater aquarium industry.
In 2023 we saw innovation in pumps, lights, tanks, heaters, rollers, controllers, ATOs, 3D printing, and accessories, and we’re sure that some of those will remain firm favorites for years to come.
New to the “product” list this year are some of the captive-bred fish that have become available, offering disease-free, fully tank-ready, dry food-eating saltwater fish that haven’t come from the ocean, and we eagerly await the expansion of captive-bred fish in the future.
