  • I visit Unimati in Denmark and give an epic tour of this most interesting aquarium fish store that I've ever visited. Featuring 160 aquariums that have been running for years with the filters and gravel that have never been cleaned!
    Look out for an aquascaping workshop coming soon - 17th March 2020.

    Unimati is the absolute best fish store in Scandinavia. Here in Denmark people rather travel from the opposite part of the country to buy their fish and aquariums at Unimati instead of going to the local store. And the reason for that is simple. Ole and the other guys are top professionals and will always provide you with every little detail you need to know when setting up a certain aquarium or when adding a certain fish to you aquarium.

    I almost forgot to mention, when you took us viewers through to the back I was impressed by how well organized the Hardscape Section is it looked fantastic.
    At First I thought you went from a Fish Store straight into a Museum. Absolutely Amazing.
    Thank you very much George for sharing that spectacular place with us.

      I only found it on the Danish website in the description. Under RockZolid. Very expensive around $1200 US. Wish they had those here. Might be better off attempting to make your own though. Let me know if anyone finds a seller in U.S.

      Stephen Scapes There are some. Aquarium Design Store in Houston has a huge selection. What was really cool is that they also have plastic panels you can put into a large sandbox to match the dimensions of your tank at home and use that to plan out your hardscape. If you ever check it out just know that customers are allowed into their warehouse in the back as well filled with even more hardscape.

    How funny things have improved..about 15-20 years ago I bought 4 panels of plastic molded background painted like the rock in the video. Well,in just a few weeks,all that paint and highlighting was removed by a few big Plecos I had. They were painted..but not coated and I'm not even sure they used real waterproof paint. I still use them..only instead of looking like sandstone or granite,they look like limestone,white..with dark areas that stayed dark for whatever reason,helping the 3-d effect.

    Really good George for a simple fish shop visit video. Wish I had seen this before setting up my tank - really fancy the RockZolid background with internal filtration system perhaps with CO2 diffusion and heater in the back void. I'm surprised Juwel aquariums haven't been beating a path to this business to commercially link up to offer a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to their corner internal filters. Lots of lovely healthy fish. Snakeskin barbs especially pleasing. Plants in the tank reminded me of shops of my childhood in the 1960s and 1970s

    Ole and all the stuffs are very helpfull and have a lot of knowledge about fish.
    The aquascaping section is new and has a lot of cool driftwoods, stones, soil etc. I love the scapers-dojo as well! My tank is a 62 by 36 what appeared at the end of the video.
    I can recommend this place to visit from my hearts deepest corner!

    May the fish be with you!

    Next time you visit Ole, please ask him to consider upgrading his website, so English could be an option. And if you need an on-the-road assistant, I am available. Well, only when you visit Ole, again. :-)
