I this video, @MD Fish Tanks & @Fish Shop Matt try something they have never done before. We were not sure if it would work but thought we had better just go for it…and boy am I so glad we did because it turned out AWESOME. The whole look of the tank but also the fish and how they behave as well. Very cool tank!

Jacob Childs

The camera guy don’t really know anything huh

Fyodor Hoogeveen

this could be a really cool idea to get waves/tides in a saltwater aquarium using gravity and pumps.

Joe Rutherford

ELI5 wouldnt the same flow be achieved if tank was level? seems this would only make sense if water flow was pouring over the top of the lower end.

evan boisvert

Maybe some bamboo shrimp

Die Dampfbrasse

pointless tilt, its not elevation creating the flow in this setup so it makes no frickin difference if you tilt the tank or not. keeping the tank level and increasing the height of the ground material to one end would have the exact same effect without the ugliness of glass rising into the room.
All you achieved is wasting capacity of the tank, making the installation bulkier and ugly.
Try making a tank with an actual flow created by water level difference, that would be impressive .. possible with a smart, powerful pump and water level sensors. the challenge would be making the tec silent and invisible.

ttvquadrider

I wonder if the weight of all that water being on one side won’t bust the seals.

Bmann92

That's my philosophy, just get it in and clean up later

Tiersmoke92555

I have seen this year's ago. I like it. If someone cut a custom tank to keep the verticals oriented erect and make a base to support the rig at a soft angle on a flat floor that would be awesome.

Stephen Pedrana

Air and water are studied under unit Fluid Dynamics as air at hi flow acts as a fluid

J Green

thats awesome, i want some hillstreams <3

Reel Fishing UK

You wanna make a mini river tank so a slimline one for the house and have white cloud minnows in it or even uk minnows that would be epic

Strelizia

Hey! I have a quick question, I noticed the hillstream in your video was out of the water in the flow! I have a few dwarf suckers in my tank and they always seem to like nudging themselves out of the water on the glass. Is that normal? I've never seen any other fish that actively look for ways to get OUT of the tank haha.

Deyna Weatherly

You know MD you only need a couple of paper clips pull them apart just a little bit just enough to get your cords in tie some flying around the ends of the paper clips and then tie them to your roof or your higher area that'll hold your cords out of the way

Brock N

I don't get it.
Also this will put pressures unevenly and the deals will give sooner.

Muhammad Siddiqi

wat was the point of tilting the tank ???

Sean

Does anyone know how the seams would hold under this? Ive always thought aquariums need to be level.

TimothyTheXIII

That tank throws me off it is very unusual

Valerie E

This tank is so cool!!!😎. Way to go Matt and MD!

Isn't it very dangerous for the glass if it's at this angle?

Garurublue

Nobody ever shows the white cloud minnows some love. Would have been a nice tank for them,

Matthew Farrell

I had the tilt idea for a frog tank. Get a long tank, section it off into 3 parts. Build a river in it with a few spawning points, pond at the end. Have our tree frogs at the top of the river, river frog in the middle and a marsh frog at the end.

shadowtheimpure

By the first minute, my thought was "this is a river tank." Done properly, a tank like this could simulate the conditions in a fresh water stream or river with a fair degree of accuracy.

CameronW

18:58 surprise guest 😂!

Nick Brown

The only thing I'm not sure about, is why even tilt the tank? The current flow is t based on it going downhill like it's on a slide, you'd have the exact same flow if you left the tank flat, because the current is based on the pumping the water

D. Wayne Harbison

First time I've watched one of your shows, but it sounds like Matt is more clever than you are. Perhaps he is the master, and you are but the student.

Profetu Rulz

Great execution!. I would have gone with a bunch of buces but maybe I'm a bit too much of a buce lover

Peter Scott

Love your videos however over the last six months you have started to mess about and behave like a lunatic get back to doing normal presentations, sorry but that’s the way I see it

J.A.Ratt85

Isn't weird how you can have this great plan in your mind but once you start putting stones in the tank suddenly it becomes a shit idea over and over and over and over and then you settle for the same stuff you've always done? That's how it was when I had a fish tank in my room. I always tried to make it look cool and make tiered rock caves and all these hiding spots but it'd always look like shit when I'd step back. Eventually I'd just go with ceramic hides and fake plants and begrudgingly call it done.

Matthew Bishop

Thats a bit different!
What about the weight of the water at the one end ? Would that comprise the strength of the joints?

Chris Lecky

20 odd years ago aquariums were really popular, the industry maxed out people got fed up of the mess and up keep then you could find abandoned aquariums all over the place, same things occurring again..

DJ Dup

Jk but hurry up

DJ Dup

Hurry up

Rain Willow

Great tank .

Nancy Stanton

White Cloud Mountain Fish. Cold water, easy breeders, active,and beautiful!

MrDeeunknownman B

That weight on one side, the glass and seams will eventually give out and bust.

spookayghost

This eases my mind about my aquariums water line being slightly unleved 😂. I was real worried till I saw this.

So the tank is pretty cool… I think it could have been executed a little better but cool nonetheless… one issue I have tho is being a biotope Aquarium enthusiasts, I would love to see only NA natives in this tank. ( I have a thing against mixing natives with non-natives) but that's just an opinion. Also rainbow shiners are nest associate breeders meaning they spawn in nests or rock mounds in the wild that are usually built by Semotilus atromaculatus (creek chub) so a bit of the information was a little off. Aside from that, great job as usual 👏

That's a cool tank, I wonder in the long run will the tank glass crack in der the extra pressure at the down tilted side?

8ducks

New to the channel, been binge watching from South Carolina. Beautiful scapes, I'm really enjoying it! Especially the bromance between you and Matt😁.

Tommy Culm

I recently set up a tank with the same fish, didn’t know they liked fast flowing water, thanks for the tip ❤

Sage

Never tilt a tank its dangerous and puts uneven pressure on the glass
Why do you need it tilted

NoYezz

you can do it with a level aquarium, but use sand and epdm liner above that & some sort of silicon on the sides

Jay Kerner

Have Matt start a forum for aquarium enthusiasts. He could even get it sponsored by adsense to make some extra money if he gets enough traffic!

Edit:(If he doesn't have one already that is.) I know I have a million questions about tank mates. I'm just getting started into top to bottom full ecosystems.
