73 gallon native stream aquarium

This is my 73 gallon custom built native stream aquarium. 60"x 20"x 14"
this aquarium was custom built by ne using reclaimed plate glass. 1/4" for the sides and false bottom and 1/2" for the bottom. the trim is made from bamboo to give some added support.
the false bottom creates a flow chamber allowing the water to be pushed through the chamber and back up the right side. powered by a jebao cp-180 crossflow pump, this creates a continuous directional flow simulating a stream. filtration is provided by a sunsun HW-304B canister filter.
stocking includes 9 emerald shiners (Notropis atherinoides)
and 12 rainbow darters (Etheostoma caeruleum). and its planted with Vallisneria Americana.
special thanks to
Jonah's Aquarium for providing the beautiful rainbow darters. check them out at

thanks for looking!

Tell us more about building an aquarium. Love the setup, by the way.

I have another video posted on the build process for this aquarium. If you have more questions please don't hesitate to ask!

[@crappieaquaticlife7772]

Absolutely living this setup. You've done a fantastic job on this build.

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

Thank you so much! Ive put a lot of effort into it.

[@VistipoeVii]

Is this something you came up with? The whole river flow in one direction? That's a pretty awesome and now one day I may have to get one.

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

It's my take on some stream setups that I've been looking at.

[@moutaintopfish1597]

Love the setup great fish. Caught a baby hogsucker today

[@VistipoeVii]

That's sweet man! Once I get some property I'm building an Aquaponics system if all goes to plan

[@VistipoeVii]

get an old phone and wifi it, live stream so I can use it as a background for my channel streams lmao. I like that fish at the end just chillin'.

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

That's awesome. Let me know... I'd be happy to help!

[@jerrywaller2578]

Please explain the open section under the gravel.

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

@@jerrywaller2578 the false bottom is there to create a flow chamber. A pump on the left side pulls water down and pushes it through that bottom chamber and back up the right side. The creates a continuous directional flow simulating a stream.

All I can say is beautiful!

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

Thank you 😊

[@thirdspacemaker9141]

Awesome setup! I don’t have room for something like this at the moment but #fishgoals. The only thing missing is some top swimmers.

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

Thank you for watching. The stocking has been updated since the making of this video!

[@yashtapase3821]

Absolutely stunning

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

Thank you!

[@Day5Aquatics]

Such an awesome tank. I've watched this video several times. Well done.

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

Thanks so much! This is probably one of my favorite tanks I've ever set up!

Thanks and welcome!

[@mexicalifishkeeper]

Hello Keni, Hope you are doing well, haven't seen you in a while. I love that tank.

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

Life has been busy man. But I am doing well! Thank you!

[@VistipoeVii]

I also like the background music. Where did you get that youtube?

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

The music was included in some video editing software I downloaded. It's an app called powerdirector

[@izadajda5082]

A beautiful biotope.👍...

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

Thank you!

[@liebisch20]

Nice one 👍🏻

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

Thank you!

[@VistipoeVii]

Ken do you have any spare old phones that can run youtube or facebook for the streaming? It's easy to do just put camera on a tripod and hit stream!

[@VistipoeVii]

A live STREAM of a Stream lmao

[@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915]

I actually set this up last night. I'm not sure how to stream it so anyone can watch it but it has an ip address that only seems to work if you are on the same WiFi as the camera.

[@VistipoeVii]

@@abcaquaticbiotopecreations8915 To live stream with Facebook you just log in and go live. Facebook allows streaming from your phone while TH-cam doesn't right off the bat. I'm waiting for approval i guess to stream through a phone on TH-cam. Anyway I can help get it going. I'll look into it today

[@iambrianlevy]
