I’ve gotten into aquascaping bc of you MD, thank you for being an inspiration

I'm not very likely to set up a tank again, I'm old and have enough hobbies to fill my days until I wind up in an urn on some poor unlucky relative's mantelpiece, but I enjoy you immensely. I'm really spoiled by British content, I just can't take my fellow American's weird obsessions with predatory fish, the bravado, the boasting about the "most epic fish room ever", it's embarrassing that we are so sure that we are the best at everything. I've winnowed down my list to you and Matt for fishy entertainment. Give me that self-deprecating British humor, slagging off your friends, and the quiet confidence of a guy like you building one beautiful environment after another, making fun of your own quirks, while educating and entertaining us with ease and grace just for the love of your hobby. It is so gratifying to see a new post from MD Fish Tanks, it is always guaranteed entertainment. Thank you for hours of fun!

For my fellow Americans this is about 38.5 gallons 😉 Beautiful setup 😊really like those wood pieces

I was concerned that the wood pieces were so symmetrical but as always you created another beautiful scape.

31:17 magic happen🎉 it was like watching on 4K TV. Stunning kit, gorgeous aquascape

That light is exceptional! Nice looking tank! The wood looking so red is brilliant!

Amazing how small the tank can look before the scape, and how huge it looks afterwards. 😍 What a gorgeous build! Hats off to you, sir.

Been watching you and a few others do these aquascapes lately, so i got a 2ft tank last week heatercand filter, today i went to the local pet store and found there fish really cheap for what they were which is great, then i saw the plant prices and tissue cultures and nearly had a heart attack 😂..

I know you're very concerned about the beta fish health and well being. Easy way to test the theory about stress stripes, is to take one of the fish and put them in a smaller set up alone and see if their stripes go away. Might be an interesting video!

Thanks to you MD, I finally setup my first aquascape. Thank you so much

Looks absolutelly stunning 🤩 One of the best aquascapes I have ever seen

Absolutely beautiful❤ my two favorite fish, neon tetras and bettas. You did it again and created a gorgeous planted tank and with the priority being the fish fish. Love this. Thankyou for another fantastic video.

I’ve spent the weekend turning two of my tanks into ecosystems following all your wonderful advice! I’m so excited to watch them grow and develop and less maintenance!

Been watching you for a few years now and finally got my first tank and started aquascaping it. Love your videos and thanks for all the tips made my build easy. ❤

This build actually surprised me. I don't usually like tanks with lids but this one in particular kinda looks good. And of course, you make it even better with that scape. Gorgeous. I wish we had Superfish here in Brasil. Thanks and congrats on another amazing build MD. You rock.

I went full planted into gravel to see how it did. No root tabs. Everything is taking off and doing well. Besides the cryp I had

I like how different your approach for the substrate is, it goes to show there's not just 1 way only that works.

Im based in South Africa. I love your videos. I have learnt so much about what fish to have together in a tank, aquascaping and what products you use. Thanks for being thorough. Keep those videos coming.

How well that bold red ludwigia pulls it all together tying in with the red from the stems and roots, brilliant!

Good to see what can be done with an off the shelf start up kit. The color of the middle piece of wood really stands out when you put the original lights on👍

Thank you for making videos like this, so educational, encouraging and inspiring!

I tried a sorority like this in my 40 gallon breeder. The two keys with female betta sororities is number and foliage. I found that when i let them get down to 6 the aggression got bad. 16 was a good number, 20 seems perfect to curve the aggression. Lots of plants is key as well. There should be no visibility from one side of tank to the other. Lots of floating plants as well since bettas are labyrinth fish and love to hang out at the top. I miss my sorority. It was so fun. I disagree with those who say its inhumane. You just need to do your research. Mine were thriving. No stress stripes and always dancing around wonderfully at feeding time. Will keep these again in thr future. Im a betta fan for sure. Have 2 males now.

That was an absorbing video, thanks MD. A real stress buster. x x

Love how you show the mistakes like dropping the light. Makes it more genuine

This is one of my favourite shapes I've ever seen...I love that wood. Amazing artistry

I have enjoyed watch your aqua shaping videos of the years. Even my now 3 year old daughter loves watching the videos with me.

Beautiful tank that doesn't look budget at all but will allow so many to create something special at an affordable price. Well done MD! Thanks for sharing this brand with us.

Thank you! ... I stumbled upon your channel several days ago, one of your shows just appeared in my random list of to watch stuff. I have not stopped... 3 days straight of watching your incredible videos, and I don't even own fish. This video was the final straw.. I couldn't hold out any longer and have bought this very tank as a beginner, and pretty much everything else in your aquascape... not exactly, but close enough. Thanks to your excellent videos, I now own an aquarium and cannot wait to get my gorgeous fish this weekend.. My wife is not happy with you at all :)

Inspired me to set up my first 10 gallon a year ago, this year its 40 gallon and you're still inspiring me

You are truly so talented, and it’s a joy to watch your creative process.

Heat them stickers up and they come right off, my buddy showed me simple tip!! But saves a ton of time and bad words lol.. love your set ups

WOW ! Another Gorgeous tank. Thank you!!! ❤

This aquarium is absolutely stunning! Definitely saving this video as a reference for when I end up upgrading my set up… eventually.

Love the color of the wood against the green! I just noticed the other day super fish is making its way out to the US! I saw their home 85 tank on Amazon the other day.

i love this tank! the little picture of the discus on the wall made it look like a nice tank displayed in someone’s home

Wow i love the way its decorated.❤

"lets see if we can make a starter tank look as good as the box so if it's your first tank you can see how easy it is!" **proceeds to use materials from older tanks** - I love your videos i'm just poking fun. It would be pretty funny to see you do a challenge where you have to go to petsmart or petco and you can only use what you buy that trip for that tank. It'd be fun to see the growth and if it really does make a huge difference to use already cycled substrate, etc.

Always looking forward to an MD fish tanks video

This is exactly the video i was waiting for. I was hoping you would test the start kit, great video!

Love the hardscape! I feel like tall vertical leaves in the back would compliment the scape more, eg valis and less plants in the midground. This video has provided great inspiration, thank you!

Once again you built an amazing setup. Your videos and talent are very inspirational

Beautiful Scape. Stay Hydrated. YOU ROCK MD ❤

Wow that looks crisp!

You should do like a lofi hip hop thing but it is one of your favorite fish tanks live, I know fish for you does it, just an idea, love your content keep it up

You got me doing tanks back in Sep.. I thank I have come a long way doing them.. ALSO looked at ever one of your video's you are also on my face book page... And Congratulations on your new work shop...

This is really helpful direction on a betta tank, the ecosystem of plants and colors is a piece of are itself

Super awesome as you said it looks exactly like a tv... the credit goes all to you MD keep them videos coming and waiting for the discus tank 🎉🎉 Best Best setup great setup ❤

I love the design of the lid, looks like it would be great if you want to keep fish that jump.

She's a beauty Clark! Another job well done.

Such a simple but beautiful scape👌🤌

That came together very nicely. The vision is now reality!

You make it look so easy another great tank

I am going to start a sorority tank thanks to this video... Let's see if everything will go well. I have ordered a LOT of plants you mentioned.

Cool scape mate. Looking at cardinals next to neons, cardinals really are so much more elegant and pretty. Thanks for the upload!

What a beautiful scape!! I was starting to have withdrawals waiting for you to make another video. Bravo

The light that came with the tank is nice I like the way it makes it pop

this channel really does make me feel happy seeing this amazing tanks for the fishes and plants 😄

Snails and shrimp are some clean up crew , endler guppies also do a good job at cleaning, cherry shrimp are great and breed like anything 😊

Great job just beautiful as always thanks for sharing 💗👍✌️💯

Great tank! You always give me great ideas. Gina

i have 2 superfish starts, they were my 2nd and 3rd tanks! really recommend.

Started the video. My wife "my favorite bald fish person!" 😂 She also says she finds your voice really soothing and thinks you should do voice over work. 🤣

love your videos hope there will be more cichlids and hardscape vids in the future🎉

Could you do a more long-term set up? That requires that time for the plants to grow? do an updates on it so that we can see how it grows overtime?

I have two for those filters one in my 3 foot tank and one in my 4 foot tank along with my canister filter they are really good easy enough to clean and have great flow rate even if they haven't been cleaned out for a month or two would recommend they also have charcoal inside the sponges so they filter out all the fine dust my fish keep digging up

This might be "The One" until the next one 😂 I love it! Thx for all the content. I almost said hard work, but you love it to much to qualify as work.

Gorgeous tank as always!

I love it!!! it's gorgeous!!!

Lid lights makes it looks like a beautiful painting

I want to do my first aquarium, and yours helping me so much!! I had one last year with only a snail (but e little bigger) it was an artificial aquarium boring and ugly, and this year I wanted to make an forest one

Amazing Scape 👌🏾looks like HD TV 📺

I used to use backgrounds like that, but I never had much luck in having them stay on and once a little water gets in between, that's it, it looks bad. In my opinion, obviously. So I started to paint my tanks and they look amazing!

Very nice! Love that tank!

Great scape as always! One thing that might look better is if you remove some of the plants between the three "points". I believe it will highlight the wood and plants around it. Otherwise the background seems so "flat" if it is full with plants but that's just my opinion 😆

nice tank setup looks great

their elevated stress was probably from being the cup. I about had a heart attack when you put the neons in, and left the girls in the cup for an additional bit :D I'm sure they've settled down beautifully though. Tank looks gorgeous!

Love the scape MD!! ❤ Have you considered doing a snakehead/bichir scape ? I think that'll be awesome to see

This turns out so well 😍 I really like the bottom root thing it looks so natural 😍 I'm gonna try that md sir 😅 Huge respect and love from india 🇮🇳 brother 🙏 ❤️

❤Nice work my friend, best regards

this might be my favourite scape you have done yet

Wow beautiful

Your content is really creative👍

Loving your work MD, because of you and Matt I have got back into the hobby after a few years. Just planning my first Scape! I wonder why you are not using the bags anymore for the aqua soil base? Also would you think of using other types of snails like Nerite?

Oh wow! I'm at 26 minutes in, and that wood seriously popped ! With the vibrant green and that reddish hued wood - my mind when straight into - "I wonder how it would look with gold tetras or other really gold shimmer fish

To avoid scratching the fish tank glass i use Zippo Lighter Fluid. I just put enough fluid on the sticker to soak it and i rub it with a cotton cloth. Sometimes you need to do this two or three times but in the end it comes out clean and without any scratches. Same with the price tags on books and magazines. But on those you need to put less fluid or else it might also take out the print ink. ( I collect old books and magazines and the stores tend to slap those tags randomly on them ruining the looks).

Very nice indeed! I do like these starter kits, they're great value for money. I haven't seen SuperFish here in the Netherlands, but a few weeks ago I picked up a Tetra starter kit, which was 100 euros for a 60x30x30 including filter with media and flat sponges, heater that goes in the filter housing, light in the lid, a bottle of SafeStart and a small jar of food, for my Platies, and it's been doing fantastic. Just like you, I would definitely recommend these starter kits, both for new enthusiasts in the hobby as well as for more experienced aquarists like myself; you just can't beat the value for money ^_^

Superfish is available all around here. I've made a nice scape in an SF 50, but I'm moving the whole lot into an SF 70 soon for practicality.

Шикарно смотрится !

The wood looks so symertrical i was concerned but it definitely turned out to be a beautiful scape!

Looks awesome! Wish we could get Superfish lights here in the US :(

Lovely tank. I had a 55 gallon tank years ago, and I'm really considering getting a Superfish tank kit. I live in a tiny house though so, I've gotta find the room first. I had to tell you this, when I hit the link to see if there was a store near me that sells the kits in Tennessee, the only hit it got was the body farm at the University of Tennessee. I laughed a bit. If you don't know what that is, you've got to look it up.

This came out really well, MD. I love the how the colors POP! Question: I've got a tank that built up gasses in the pond soil. Either methane or hydrogen sulfide. Have you ever had anything like this happen to you? Thanks!

Love the tank! New to the hobby! I’ve always wondered, call me stupid, what do we do once the soil is depleted of nutrients? Switch to liquid fertilizer? CO2 installation? Anyways, your tanks are amazing! Hopefully i can have a few at my bureau as well in the future

The one snail when he’s filling the tank 😂

Yess.. i been waiting for this ❤

So good mate.

sad to see the giant betta sorority go was one of my favorites on the channel

When you said, "looks like a t.v.", I was thinking this is BETTER than t.v. 😂 Awesome, beautiful tank as always MD ❤

the driftwood glowed like a lightsaber from the added red and blue light XD
