This 120 Gallon stream aquarium was designed by Aquascaper Nick Kinser to replicate a stream biotope and includes fish and plants native to the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Below are some of the materials he used to create this effect:
Plants: Vallisneria Americana, American Eelgrass: amzn.to/2LEMoss
Substrate: White Pool Filter Sand: amzn.to/3cOc0z2
Root Tabs: Miracle-Gro Quick Start Planting Tablets: amzn.to/3cIedvJ
Filter: Fluval FX6: amzn.to/367dFNw
Lights: 48 inch BeamsWork:amzn.to/36b5yj5
Aquarium: Marineland 120 gallon aquarium

Omg, HOW have I never been to this aquarium?! It's only 15 minutes from my house! Thank you for sharing!
Nice to see more tanks from this place, the oyster aquarium was one of my favourites, because i have never seen anything like it.
Simple and beautiful
I love how the hardscape can work either as a North American Stream Tank or an Asian Hillstream Tank. I should set-up a tank like this in the future.
A couple a agonostomus monticola fish would look so good there.
Not gonna lie, that's making me jealous. Absolutely spot on
Great video. Nick does a great job with the GEPA tanks. Andrew, Nick and the rest of the GEPA staff really have made this wonderful public aquarium a cool place to see and learn about the aquatic life that lives near us. When things open up, please make a point to visit and support them. There are a lot of interesting tanks and displays, including a very cool touch tank. The Chesapeake Bay watershed has so much diversity and interesting fish that people rarely hear about them. Many of them are as beautiful and/or interesting as many of the tropical fish we see in local fish stores that live right in our backyard.
I really like this aquarium. The rock work is stunning and love how the plants flow in the current. It's simple scape but still has a lot going on, if that makes sense. It's definitely inspired.
Honestly didn't think it looked like much at first (I usually prefer more complex and detailed scapes ) but with the backstory, your amazing narration and soothing footage it became way more interesting.
I had a 33 long native stream tank just like this with only eel grass as well. It was beautiful. The eel grass doesn’t need CO2 at all.
This is a beautiful tank and it's a source of inspiration for my next one.
You weren't kidding about returning to your earlier style of videos. Glad you decided to do it!
bro im in love with this aquarium, nice job bro
So clean and beautiful. Incredibly well done!
Yes I wanted to see this video, this aquascape is different yet amazing
Glen Echo is such a great park - definitely a hidden gem in Maryland. Take a tour of the grounds of the old amusement park if you haven't already.
Simple but elegant. Nice work keep it up 👍
Another great video. You should do all the voice overs (even when showing other guests tanks).
Thanks for sharing. I’m in the DMV so I need to visit the Glen Echo aquarium when things open up. Looks like a great way to learn about native Chesapeake Bay watershed critters and see some amazing tanks!
Just beautiful.
Omg yes! hillstream aquariums are the best! Hope to see more inspiration in the future!
Nice stream natural biotope :) looking forward to the shell dweller Scape 💚:)
Lovely tank. 💪🏼💪🏼
Beautiful biotope. Thanks for the video.
i came back second time , anyone else seem this video 2 times ?
Super nice. Thank you for sharing, i really enjoyed it !!!
Over a year old and no algae growth on rocks? Stunning riverscape .. but oh my, how did you get it so algae free?
hillstream loaches would look good there
Loving this tank!
Nice Tank 😎👍🏻
WOww so nice all the tanks :D "D coolest
WAIT, this is at Glen Echo? Your in the DC area? NICE! :D I been in NoVA myself for 50 years!
Beautiful!!
Looks great, wow that's a lot of oysters. The rocks tank looks cool, she rocks though take away from the volume of water.
Awesome!
I love it 😍
Great video!
You might have more fun with a stream tank with warm water species...after awhile natives with no color gets old. White Clouds,Garra's Hillstream loaches..the white clouds will reproduce if given cover and the aquarium is large enough,like 50 gallons or so. More fun to imagine a fast tropical stream...
I wanted to make a biotope tank of the brandywine creek that ultimately ends up in the chesapeak. Did you say id need permits to use wild live stock that i catch myself??? That hinders things a bit. I love eastern blacknose dace minnows. Always wanted to keep some in a tank.
Hey Alex, I have watched this video about 5 or 6 times over the last year and I love it. I want to do my own version of this tank with a hillstream biotope. I want to stock it with white cloud minnows, cherry barbs, hillstream loaches, and vallisneria spiralis in a 75g. My main questions are how should I hook up the filter (fluval fx4) for optimal flowrate, and is white sand with river stones good?
Very pretty! Though I was surprised to hear they were using CO2, for as low demand as val is and without a rich substrate that just sounds like overkill.
I was surprised as well. I think you could do this without CO2, but you'd probably end up with a little more ragged looking val as a result.
I've always heard how Valisneria is easy to grow but I couldn't keep it alive. I might try a similar escape like this using my Amazon Swords instead.
@NihlusGreen It's not fair because Val is such a stunning background plant!😄😁. I just depend on my Amazon Swords. Anubius and Java fern grow in my ta k but extremely slowly.
Where are you from sir ? I like your voice ,i'm watched your video for learn English and Aquascape
It's very nicely done..but I would say a 4' 55 gallon would be better minimum with some LFS common stream fish like Danio's and Loaches, the sucker exotics later. Plus a stronger current for fish to do the treadmill thing all day,mid tank and high...but they drop to the bottom and rest at night.
Oyster tank is perfect for Archer fish and Mono's argentus or better,Sebae. So many brackish water fish these days..
I can't believe there are no hillstream loaches in this tank D:
Where can I find the oister tank video
Hey, amazing scape, what type of rock is that please?
honestly I'm trying to recreate this setup but on a smaller scale do you know what kind of rock that is or a rock I can buy that looks just like that ?
The video was so amazing until I imagined Nemo lol 1:56
Oh no!
Whats the size of this tank?
name of the grass plzzz!
American eel grass
Can i know the thickness of that glass
I believe the glass on this rimmed tank is 1/2 inch.
@@TankTested thankyou 😊😊
Listen to this video and imagine it being aliens displaying humans
