In this video, I take you into the Amazon Spheres, a giant complex filled with lush plants, beautiful aquariums, and rare and exotic flora. The setup featuring in this video is a 17-foot, 500 gallon aquascape heavily planted with java fern, buce, java moss, and tiger lotus. It is also home to large schools of cardinal tetras, rummynose tetras, cherry shrimp, and a few discus fish.
The living wall lighting was turned off when I visited, but the lush wall provides a beautiful backdrop the planted aquarium. Filled with ferns, these low light plants mimic an imagined stream bank.
If you’d like to see more of Steve’s work, check out another video I did on his aquarium shop:

I’ve watched this three times
Being able to make aquascaping your full time job and being able to create these beautiful pieces for the world to see is something so special. Such talent on both sides of this video
This deserves way more than 6 minutes.
The only sad thing about this video is that I am afraid this is going to be the only place we will get to "see" the Amazon one day. What an absolutely amazing scape. I hope it inspires people to realise how special our planet is.
YAY STEVE!!!!!!! I am so grateful to live in Seattle and have you as my LFS owner of the best store in the world, Aquarium Zen!!! I always want to spend HOURS in the store because it is so BEAUTIFUL! Awesome build at Amazon!!!
You can make a video on everyone of his tanks in the background
That place is amazing.
I would like to see an closer look on all aquariums
Always great videos, but was expecting a little more in depth footage and information!
Will have to be my stop when I’m in Washington next month
Astonishing ........ specially the story telling part
Great video, thanks for sharing Alex 👍 - Viktor
superb, stunning visual
Very beautiful! If we had more guys like these friendly aquarists in the world, this planet would be a better place! Keeping fishes and plants is connecting people in the whole world.
Over the top Awesome. 👍🥳
This is where architecture, aquarium, horticulture & artistry intersect ... thanks Alex I will have to take in the spheres when I am in Seattle next time
Please more of that
This video is absolutely inspirational and beautiful. Thank you all for sharing this.
Lovely!
Thanks. I needed that.
Beautiful...
Thanks for the film. Beautiful place this glass building with interesting architecture with so many aquariums and plants.
I want a closer look at ALL the features! :)
Highly inspiring for a tank and really enjoyable to watch it in one of your high quality video, Tank Tested... Congratulation to the scapers, they did a remarquable work there!
That's enormous. Stunning.
Great video and what you showed is called a paludarium
Amazing video! You could literally supply half a fish store with a tank like this is what I'm hearing...??? Would love to hear more about this, especially about the C02 system, water change system, and the lighting!
Fantastic😍
Awesome!
Very nice
Love it
Absolutely STUNNING !
Amazing video-my only wish is that it were longer.
I live in Seattle and didn't know these existed 😳
I really hope that this exhibit inspires more architects and designers to incorporate Live Zones into their plans.
I know I'd rather contemplate this than a Banksy artwork or a Greek marble artifact.
This is lovely! I would really like to see a video on the aquarium at 0:20.
Hello my dear friend. Very good your video. Beautiful aquascape. Wonderful aquariums. Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the best and new luck. Like.
Awesome
Satu kata dariku .. WAAOOOOOWWWW...!! 😯
Yes, more. This place, that tank is incredible.
The esthetic design and ecological elements are georgous. But I also love the portion on its life support.
I am a large fan of automation on systems. What he describes: an Apex controller, dosing pumps, an ATO, auto water change (usualy done with dosing pumps). These are elements frequently found and widely embraced in marine reef tanks, but I find very little adoption by the freshwater community.
It's nice to see them being used here.
Super bro❤️
Just amazing. Thanks for share. ❤️
Great job as always, Alex!
Absolutely spectacular!
Truly spectacular
Soo beautiful ❤️
That place is so incredible
That looks amazing!
That looks amazing
Another great video, Alex 👍
Amazing ❤️ so inspiring keep up the good work 🏆
Beautiful 🌷
So cool, I’d love to visit one day 🌱
This is epic!
Wow! this is crazy. Also you are SO CLOSE to 100K subs!
Wowww
Can you tour his store? All the displays look amazing in the store and gallery.
I actually did, it’s in this video:

@@TankTested Nice thanks 😊!
Yea this does not suck .... thanks
amazing! one thing I wish they did was to show the equipment room running this system.
I'd like to see more of that shimmering cube aquarium behind Stephen Waldron.
Edit: nevermind I watched the video that you've linked to in the comments. thanks.
❤❤❤❤👌👌🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌👌
You should cover a different part of it once a week or month
I´d like to know the amount of ferts that go into a wall like that and the tank itself, and also how the dosage works, it seems like a nightmare to dose only the water, no?
Also, this is the best aquarium related channel, keeo it up and keep em coming!
Man...to have the funds to do something like that 🤤
Maintenance is probably a nightmare. Look at all that moss lmao
Hey, he's getting paid to do it, so it's a win-win.
It looks like adding the discus was a mistake for this particular setup. It changes the original focus.
What is the minimum amount of water (liters) to keep fish in an aquarium ? In Germany, no fish (no matter what species) may be kept if the aquarium is less than 54 liters. Is this also the case where do you live ? Just interesting :)
There are no laws on minimum size. I wish there were, although I’d probably set the minimum at around 40L.
It’s called a paludarium
Try some Rummy noses.
😇👍❤
Anyone know what the "grassy" looking plant is?
That would be Microsorum pteropus "Trident" I believe
@@lurker-saniswatching6541 cheers mate!
Sorry looking it up the plant you suggested is in the tank but I don't think it's the one I'm asking about. I'm asking about the plant that grows at the back to the surface, you get a good look at 5:01 👌
@@thebloodyenglish6620 the one that looks like eelgrass? If I'm not mistaken it may be Cryptocoryne, either C. crispatula balansae or C. tonkinensis
@@lurker-saniswatching6541 thank you so much! To me it looks like Cryptocoryne crispatula balansae I didn't know you can get grassy looking Cryptocoryne's! I've only got some brown C.wendtii.
Looks like I'm gonna need to get some C. crispatula balansae to replace my Vallisneria spiralis patch as it just looks too organised, I like the over grown/more wild jungle look which the rest of my plants do well but the patch of Vallisneria just looks too organised 😂👌
Very ,very beautiful , but its really a garden than a "slice of the Amazon". Many of the plants and fish used are not Amazon natives.
why control the shrimp population, me struggling to keep them alive hahaha
it is a pity that it is not a biotope aquarium
Its amazing what you can do with unlimited funds lol
I've watched this so many times and want to know so bad about the "really interesting CO2 injection system"...
20 feet would have been better
I like the quality of your videos but the way you try to talk in a “satisfying” manner is kinda cringe
