INCREDIBLE 1000L Sloped River Tank at Atlas Aquariums!

- In this video I show a close up look of an aquascaped sloped river tank at Atlas Aquariums here in Australia. The first time I saw this tank 3-months ago it stopped me in my path, I was absolutely taken by it. I was so happy to be able to go back last month and have Finn and Wilson give me a run down on the tank, discuss how it came to be, and show some of the unique fish and plants that inhabit it!
A special thanks to Jason from Australian Biotopes who provided some close footage of the tank that is in this video.

hey how are you
like old times
This is a beautiful tank. it reminds me of when in high school (35 years ago) one of my best friends built a 300 gallon river tank. We live in the Appalachian foothills in southern Ohio, so the fish aren't very exotic, but he built a local ecosystem in his basement. Minnows, catfish, common (not asian) carp, local river clams, crawdads, and whatever plant life he dug out of the riverbed while he was gathering clams. He set it up so the water flowed constantly from one end of the tank to the other. It was pretty awesome.
Really cool that it was stocked with local flora and fauna! The believe the most biodiverse portion of river in North America(!) is in Ohio, in the Columbus area, and your part of state is likely just as biodiverse (historically). I believe part of the reason for the biodiversity is due in part because of all the different mollusks that inhabit those old Appalachian river systems. Heavy industry has really done a number on them - clams and mussels do not tolerate polluted water at all. Countless species have likely been lost to extinction since the formation of the USA. American Indians and early European settlers used to feast on them and even find pearls, they were so plentiful. Freshwater mollusks are some of the most endangered group of organisms worldwide.
That's really really awesome! Thank you for sharing this. I wish TH-cam was around back then so we could see it
Rainbow Darters are pretty exotic looking and would have been perfect for a tank like that!
i am pretty sure nowadays he'd get in trouble for taking wildlife to a home tank. although such a thing is promoting your local biodiversity.
There are no native carp in the US
I’ve been to this shop a couple of times and this river tank is amazing to see in person. It is like they lifted a section of a stream out of the wild and put it in the store. Such a pleasure to see.
10% discount if we find the Blue Phantom Plecos… we allowed to camp overnight by that river for this challenge? ⛺️🔥
🤣🤣 I'm sure he wouldn't say no
Incredible store and even more impressive stream tank 😍 Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much Ryo!! 😊
Hello Ryo. Nice to see you here.
This is absolutely beautiful! And the way you can control the flow, that's so awesome!
Love it! 💕 No need to apologize. They're replicating nature. The sound is an integral part.
Very true!!
Brilliant all around. I love everything about it.
This is the style of tank I always wanted
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! 😊
Incredible work!
What an awesome tank idea that is, great work all involved in it
Love it. Thanks for shaing. 😊
So awesome to see how it was all put together I’ve been thinking about doing that for my alligator snapping turtles so thanks for the inspiration and all the ideas plus you guys seemed to really enjoy working on that project.
Yes it's great seeing their enthusiasm and passion for it! I love it
Awesome!
That is so beautiful!
Great video, killer tank and really nice guys! Thank you for getting some quality footage and sharing it with us...
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😄
Thank you for sharing this. Definitely a cool tank concept.
Wow amazing.
Very nice. And I mean that to describe the entire store. I was in the aquarium industry in SE Florida USA for many years. Started off working at the local shop in the mid 1980's when I was around 13 years old. We were the premier aquarium shop in Pembroke Pines, FL which is a western suburb of Ft Lauderdale. It was a full line pet shop but we went strictly aquarium in the mid 1990's and by that time I was doing most of the sales, installation and service of aquariums in the area. I eventually took over the business and ran it until around 2010 when I sold off my service clients because my side business of boat lights took off. I sometimes miss the business. That river tank is awesome. Back in the day the big thing was the live reef. I was there when the first "wet/dry" filter and protein skimmer hit the market. We had our own brand of W/D filters and protein skimmers back then. We did very well back in the 80's and 90's. Then the internet came and it was tough for a little shop like us to survive. I eventually did only service and installation which as mentioned ended in early 2010.
That is awesome ty
Very great fish selection, Tank is Well done. Splendid 💚

probably the most awesome fish tank i've seen. dream setup. and i've been keeping fish for 25 years. well done gents

Great video Kaity! I really enjoyed watching it, Finn and Wilson did a great job explaining it and it's a credit to the store, this is one of my favourite aquarium shops in Brisbane with the attention to detail they have put in, the stream tank is awesome to look at each time I go there just watching it evolve is great.
