I don't have a clue what percentage of fish is "Captive Raised" because there are not THAT many that we know enough about to Captive Breed/Raise.

Coral on the other hand.... we are able to Propagate a HUGE amount of them. I'm striving to buy "captive Breed" on anything that it's possible. I don't mind paying a little more to ensure it's not wild caught if there is an option.

It's ALL gotta go!!* Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change. Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.
