My 135 Gallon TALL Aquarium Is Complete! | Epic Asian Cichlid Tank Setup

In Part 2 of this custom aquarium build series, we’re bringing the 135-gallon tall aquarium to life with an Asian-themed aquascape and some incredible Southeast Asian fish! From colorful rainbowfish to unique Asian cichlids, loaches, and barbs—this tank is turning into a true showpiece in the fish room.

Built by Custom Aquariums ‪@CustomAquariums‬ (www.customaquariums.com), this towering tank lets us take advantage of vertical space in a way most aquariums can’t. I also brought in some of my favorite equipment from previous setups to ensure this tank runs like a dream.
