It is the largest public coral reef display in the USA
From the business
Specialties
We offer fish that live, aquariums that work, and water features that make your life easier, not harder.
We have the largest selection of tank-raised marine ornamentals on the planet. All of our wild-collected salt water fish are held for a minimum of 2-6 weeks, depending on species, before we offer them for sale, ensuring that we sell the most robust fish in the industry.
A lot of our stuff is raised right here in the building. Our facility is over 13,000 sq ft. and we have nearly 40,000 gallons of salt systems alone.
Inland Aquatics has been around since 1993 and is responsible for introducing refugia, deep sand beds, detritivores and Algal Turf Scrubbing to the hobby.
Our systems utilize ATScrubbers, which grow algae, remove wastes, oxygenate the system, and eliminate the need for monthly water exchanges!
Our staff members are aquarists with lots of experience and our general manager is a marine biologist.
Come check us out. You won't be disappointed.
History
Established in 1993.
Inland Aquatics was one of what was to be dozens of mariculture facilities, based on the paradigm outlined in Dr. Walter Adey's "Dynamic Aquaria". Algal Turf Scrubbing allowed us to operate inland and it was hoped that the plankton-friendly systems would allow us to overcome the "first food bottleneck" and raise dozens of new ornamental marine species.
Long story short... it didn't work. Nevertheless, our systems were incredibly healthy and we set out to revolutionize the aquarium hobby by introducing concepts such as refugiums, deep oolitic sand beds, Detritivore Kits, and Algal Turf Scrubbing to hobbyists.
Because we intended to breed new species, we spent an incredible amount of time and other resources attempting to obtain viable broodstock. This led to our discovery of Post Traumatic Shipping Disorder (PTSD) and the HUGE number of marine fish that are doomed to die many days or weeks after import. This is why we hold marine species for so long.

Morgan L, Manager
Morgan graduated from IU with an Honors Degree in Biology. Did independent research into he breeding behavior and teritorriality of cichlids and sticklebacks.
His plans to study at Texas A&M at Galveston were put on hold when he learned of the research of Dr. Walter Adey of the Smitsonian Institute of Natural History.
What was originally intended to be a small live-rock culturing project "in the basement" that would require minimal oversight, "on the weekends" quickly grew into the 13,000 sq foot facility that is now known as "Inland Aquatics."
