Visiting the LARGEST aquarium store in Australia! FULL Tour of Tech Den
Рет қаралды 45,754
Жыл бұрынTech Den is a family owned and operated aquarium store, and is also Australia's largest retail aquarium shop in Australia. They have both a huge online store and a whopping 1200sqm2 in-person premise! In this video we head up to the Sunshine Coast to get my lids re-netted at NVS Aquariums then on our way back down to Brisbane we check out this mega store. There are 100's of fish, from discus to African Cichlids all the way to the most rainbow fish I've ever seen in an aquarium store. Plus a HUGE range of stock, including some outdoor ponds and the new reptile section they have set up.
I really hope you enjoy seeing this magnificent store!! A big thank you to Dean, John, Emily, and Tahlia for helping out with the tour :D

Ive used their online services a bit over the years and havent had any problems with stuff turning up damaged . We need independant stores , better range,suprisingly good prices
