Win - my husband died a year ago, I can't remember how but found myself on youtube when unable to slesp, saw your channel MD & now I have 6 tanks, looking after my plants & fish has helped me through this more than I can describe & MD is just the best

Literally been home on maternity leave and have found myself binge watching you. I have a nano tank and just starting to make my fish tank better thanks to you

WIN! I am 15 years old and getting into the hobby because of you, and your amazing scapes! You really inspired me into liking this hobby and currently I have two beautiful planted tanks ( 50l and 100l) both with inspirations and techniques from your tanks. Thank you much for introducing me to this beautiful and amazing hobby! Keep up the good work!!!

Win - currently living in Texas and recently set up my first tank in almost 20 years. I used to have 11 tanks ranging from 1 gallon to 29 gallons. My kids became interested and we set up a 10 gallon beta tank and now the urge to do more tanks has returned. Also, watching your videos has become a part of my daughter's bedtime routine. She's allowed to watch one MD video after she gets ready for bed.

Win - You've really inspired me to get back into the hobby after leaving for a few years due to loosing my tanks to a terrible snow storm and power outage for several days. With no way to provide enough heat for my fish they all sadly passed away and I was crushed. a few months ago I was scrolling through KZfaq and noticed one of your videos in my recommended and I thought "hmm that looks cool" from that moment I was hooked. I fell back in love with fishkeeping and so far I have a planted 10 Gallon tank for my betta and a 5 Gallon Heavily planted shrimp tank. So thank you MD for reigniting my passion in this hobby and I look forward to watching your content for years to come. Keep up the great work MD!

Finally rebuild my guppy tank and with all your tips and tricks I now look at it and think:”wooow, I can’t look away from it” thank you so much!!!

Win - Hi, I’m English but living in Tokyo. I watch your videos to help pass the time on my long commutes to work and they keep me calm and relaxed on the overcrowded metro system. They have also inspired me to rescape all my tanks which are now looking better than ever thanks to you.😁👍

Yeah the Rotala definitely made the whole thing better!! Love that you did a basic scape for some of the newer folk. I got inspired by you 6 months ago to start aquascaping and I now have 4 tanks haha. Love the channel and love what you do! WIN!

Win ! I got 9 tanks, all planted! Love your videos, literally got where i am thanks to watching your videos! Youre pretty awesome man!

Win! - I recently have gotten into fishkeeping because my little brother wanted pets but I accidentally got more into it than he did 😬 for now we only have a betta and 6 neon tetras but we're trying to give them a good home. It's been a good way for me to learn how to be responsible and patient, especially when dealing with sick fish. Only 2 months in but it's been a fun journey as well :)

WIN!!!! Hi MD I’m from Edmonton, AB, Canada! 🇨🇦 I was inspired with fancy goldfish keeping to help give me a distraction from putting my dog down. I started with 10 Gallons, upgraded to 30 Gallons and now 75 Gallon!!! Fully planted and I can’t get enough of it. Thanks to your amazing videos I am obsessed with the hobby and have spent thousands of dollars 😂😂😂

Win! I’m Australian and have wanted fish tanks forever. I finally have two and I love them so much! I’ve been researching all things fish keeping for months and there’s still so much to learn, but that’s why I love your videos. Super honest and I learn so much!

Have to be honest, if you hadn’t added the Rotala this would have been my first “meh” MD build…. Made a world of difference 👍🏻WIN!

you are by far the best aquascaping youtuber, from the production/quality of your videos to the actual content of your videos. You are unmatched. I'm buying all my equipment now after about a year of watching your videos for entertainment. Thank you for everything!

Win - I have recently got into the hobby for fish keeping / aqua-scaping due to this channel. It was one of the very first i watched and can say its the one that i keep up to date with as you post more scapes. Defiantly a inspiration to many and never lets us down with a boring scape. All the best and thanks for the content!

Win- you’re one of my favorite KZfaqrs. I try to stay up to date on all your videos. From Kansas I have two 10g planted aquariums one with a Betta named Reupert and another with a colony of blue dream shrimp. and thanks to what I’ve learned in your videos they’re doing really well. Thanks for keeping it real!

WIN -- I appreciate the video of the easy scape! I finally set up my first 20 gal after years of waiting to have space, and 3 months in it's settling so nicely. I even noticed a baby platy recently, which is growing nicely and making me want to set up more tanks to get into breeding properly!

“Win” - thank you for giving such helpful tips to beginners. I just recently got into the hobby and all your videos are super helpful (and also relaxing). It’s so nice to see someone who appreciates fish and gives them the quality of life they deserve :)

Win 🥇 I’m a stay at him mom from Denver! I love your videos and found you when I started doing research on planted tanks. I have over 40 house plants and wanted to expand my plant hobby to under water! Your videos give my whole family so much joy, my son especially loves Timmy 😂♥️

WIN - My 6 year old and I started watching your videos a couple months ago. We now have a 35 gallon, a 29, 2 20s, 2 10s, 2 5s and a 3 gallon. The plants have just started really propegating too! Your videos have brought us closer together! Thanks!

WIN - absolutely love your videos. your builds inspire me to be a better fish keeper, and your videos are so informative. I’m a student so I am currently keeping a lemon tetras in a decently planted 10 gallon tank

17:40 That was a rather quick promise break lol. Nice looking tank as always !

Win- I'm from Birmingham UK, I got into scaping because I bumped into your videos when I was doing some research to keep the fish I bought for my son alive. Its been a year now and I'm glad I got in the hobby. All thank to you

WIN - i am from germany and with your help i made my first fishtank and redesigned it as well already once. Frist scape was a real jungle with tons of moss and a lot of plants. My current one is more focused on stones and fewer different plant species. The whole tank, stand and filter are second hand and materials like stones are sourced locally. Your videos are always enjoiable and inspire me to do similar things. Keep it up!

Win- hi from San Antonio tx! my 2 year old daughter and I love watching your videos and also they help her fall asleep. So another THANK YOU! I recently fell in love with aquascaping for our betta tank. We currently have a 3 gallon tank and want to get another one soon! My daughter just loves to see them every day. And watching your videos makes our tank look like it was done by a pro. Thank you for the excellent ideas and helpful tips for maintaining the tank. We love keeping our fishes happy and enjoying a clean nano tank. It definitely keeps us busy with staying home during COVID. And thanks for the positive attitude in all your videos. Keep up the good work. :)

I loved the way this tank looks because it is quite minimalistic whilst still looking good and is great for beginners . Also The betta really compliments the tank.

WIN! Im from a small town in Northern California and I just recently purchased my first ten gallon tank and started assembling it last night, adding plants this morning! Planning on having some dumbo eared guppy’s and shrimp in this tank. I’ve truly enjoyed your channel and you’ve been the inspiration into buying this tank. Thank you for such knowledgeable content, and at the end of the day a great relaxing way to wind down and get inspired. Keep up the great work!

WIN ! - I'm from a small town in British Columbia, Canada. Just got into fish keeping randomly because a video of yours popped up on my KZfaq and just got me so inspired. I have two 5.5 gal Betta tanks and a soon to be pea puffer tank currently in the build process. Thank you for making such great tutorials and beautifully inspiring scapes ☺️

WIN- Hey MD, i am from a small town in India. I currently own 4 tanks, two of which are planted. One of them is a 30cm cube inspired from your racking system and it houses loads of cherry shrimp. They are really fun to watch. Thanks for making such inspiring videos which motivate me whenever i feel like i am not justifying my tanks.

With how much API sponsors you and how much you crush up the root tabs, I'm surprised they haven't released API Root Powder

WIN!!!! Dallas from Washington State USA. Brand new aquarist, the wife and I have dove head first into the hobby and have 10 tanks! Have two 14g cubes, 2 10g, 2 2.5 tanks, and have 4 hurricane setups. Mostly shrimp, bettas, tetras and killi fish! I'm an active duty guy so currently my wife is holding down the Homefront while I'm away for a few months! Hoping to be back by Christmas so I can see my new blue velvet babies! MD, you're awesome, we watch your videos almost day together, its just one of the many things get to do together! You're the best MD!

Win! My partner bought a betta fish just this year after I got diagnosed with heart problems and their father became ill. I found your channel when I was trying to figure out how to take care of our betta and set up his tank. Really appreciate all your videos, inspirational and informative! Cheers.

Got the goldfish yesterday and we’re already binge watching fish videos 😣 This is now part of my sons home education, the best thing about HE is learning alongside your child 💛😊

So simple yet beautiful! This man is so inspirational! Love it ❤️👍🔥

Win. I’m a fish keeper from Malaysia. Kept fish since I was in kindergarten and I’m in uni now. Got tons of ideas from MD, made me tried my first aqua scape this year.

Win...I have a 75 gallon, two 20 gallons, and two 5 gallons. I love love this hobby. Ty for explaining how to make your plants happy! You make it make sense. Absolutely beautiful tank.

Another beautiful and simple tank, great job totally knocked this one out of the park as always

Win - hi MD! I just love your channel, since finding you I have rescaped my two small (21l and 12l) tanks SOOO many times to try and get them looking as good as yours! I've spent entirely too much of my wedding funds on hardscape, plants and fish in the past months thanks to your videos XD

Good day Bro , I am from BARBADOS was born without legs. Have 5 fish tanks, ur channel got me started and it helps with my bi-polar. Thanks MD......Hoorah!!

WIN, I recently got into the hobby and your videos absolutely were the reason and way I learned. I am happy to say that I now have two tanks and plan on getting more, so those supplies would help me expand this hobby on my next tank. I really appreciate your work regardless and it's become a part of my week to keep up with you and your tanks. :)

WIN - Hello, I m a 15 year old aquascaper and i just love this hobby then any other i currently own 2 tanks both are planted! And have got one more tank only for planting i was in speedcubing hobby but when i got my first fish tank i leaved all other hobbies and now i m just an Aquascaper from India! Hope i Win😄

Win - hi, as my birthday present this year I got two tanks and I am in the middle of setting them up for. One is a axolotl tank and the other is going to be a blue dram shrimp tank. P.S love you videos and they inspired me to do this. So a big thanks to you 😃 I also live in Australia 🇦🇺.

WIN ~ Hi, I'm from Belfast and have 3 tanks, a 22ltr, a 40ltr and a 125ltr and eventually plucked up the courage to aqua scape all 3 after watching your videos. I love how this new Betta tank turned out, simple and effective. Thanks for all you do.

"Win" - I discovered your channel during covid, and while I was like most people stuck at home first fighting terror, then boredom, you inspired me to come back to planted tank fishkeeping. Thanks man.

"WIN"- not had a chance to enter one of these before :) I live in Australia and I have 3 nano tanks. My first is a 40L tall tank with neon and ember tetra, Otocinclus and cherry shrimp. Its heavily planted and looks amazing. Started with a couple of plants, rocks I collected myself and wood branches from a dead tree out the front- low cost. Ive added heaps of different plants, upgraded the filter etc as ive gone. Second is a small 10L quarantine tank that is currently quarantining some pygmy cories and has cherry shrimp cleaning crew, floating and planted plants. My 3rd is a 40l tank containing a paludarium with about 20-25l water, floating, stem and epiphyte plants and a small cherry shrimp colony which is currently breeding like crazy!!

"WIN" Love this tutorial!! I'm getting ready to set up some betta tanks right now!! Nowhere better for inspiration!! Love you bunches my friend! Hope you and your family is having a wonderful weekend!!🙏🌿🐟🌿💚

WIN: from Salt Lake City, and have four planted tanks! I discovered the hobby thanks to my dad. Him and I are currently building a fish room at his house that will have 10 or so tanks in it. Love your videos and watch them all day!!

Win- I’m a 15 year old from a small town near chicago, illinois. Ever since i got my first jetta fish i’ve been hooked on aquascaping but don’t have an income to support my hobby 😂. Been watching your channel for as long as i can remember aswell.

“WIN” - absolutely love your videos whenever i get the upload notification i rush on and click your videos!! currently have a 40 gallon amazon style fish tank (inspired by you!!) with tons of different tetras and a some german blue rams

I love the simplicity of this tank! Beautiful!

Great video, I have been keeping fish for 60 years, I had 34 tanks at one point but, as I get older it get harder to keep up the maintenance, so I am now down to 3, one marine and 2 planted aquariums, I am sure new comers to the hobby will love your stuff.

"WIN" - currently running a 10 gallon and 5.5 gallonwith my daughter our 10 has lambchop rasboras, snails and Cory cats, our 5.5 gallon is a solo betta tank, both tanks are fully planted with dragon stone hardscape, we are about to redo our 10 gallon next weekend and adding more plants to both tanks to try and control alge blooms a bit better

Too all newbies here: 16 Litre is a bit small, 20-25 should be minimum.

Win. I have watched md from the beginning and because of this channel my scapes have become so much better. So a big shout out to md. I currently have 10 tanks ranging from guppies and angle fish. I live in florida lived here all my life.

Win- Hey MD I’m from Houston, TX, I have 5 tanks running right now. 4 are planted tanks and I’ve used a lot of your tips when scaping. The other is a 125g with discus and geophagus. You’re an inspiration for fish keeping now. This video is perfect because I wanted to rescape my betta tank. Keep up the great work.

win :) Aussie here I'm new to fish keeping and trying to upgrade from 14L (two goldfish) to 36L (planted tank) on a tight budget I'm only17 and doing chores for small money and I'm step by step collecting all the things I need for the new tank. I'm already 3 weeks in with the only things I have is substrate and driftwood! next on my list are chemicals for the tank so it would be a massive step in the right direction as chemicals can get expensive for me :) good luck everyone!

WIN - Hey MD, I’m from Orlando, FL; right now I have a 10 gallon and am creating a 125 gallon planted scape w/a massive diy canister type filter. I absolutely love your scapes and your dedication!

Win!!!! Love your videos watch all of them as soon as they come out. Inspiring my scapes all the way across the pond in Chicago.

WIN! I love watching your builds, and even you random maintenance vids, because I enjoy seeing you express how much you love your fish, your turtle, and your tank builds. I currently have 5 tanks, a hospital tank, and a pond, and a no filter bowl! I have been inspired by your builds to do my own scaping 🤓

Win, I’m happy to say that you have been the exact channel that I’ve been looking for. I’m just starting out on Betta Fish keeping and looking for ideas for setting a tank up for my wife for Valentine’s Day as she has totally fallen in love with these beautiful types of fish. This video is just the job so thank you very much indeed 🙏🏻 🧡 the channel 😁

Win - I've been in the hobby for about 19 years but I've had little to no idea what I've been doing that whole time. I got my first tank when I was six and just went with whatever happened. Over the last four months, I've been researching heavily (your channel has been a godsend!). I've got my 37 gallon scaped with live plants (planning a new scape soon) and a brand new 20 gallon that has some gorgeous lyretail blue rams that I just put in yesterday. Fishkeeping has been so cathartic and such an amazing hobby that I've rediscovered. I've even promised my girlfriend a custom-built betta tank for her birthday! I'm so excited to introduce her to the hobby.

WIN!! u came across your channel when I got my first betta and have been hooked ever since! On my 8th tank now and you are such an inspiration...thank you for all you do! ❤

Love your videos. I have 8 small tanks all but one have Bettas. You are inspiring me to not be so afraid to aqua scape. Fish became part of therapy for me after brain surgery

Win. I've got 5 tanks. 2 five gallons 2 tens and a 20 long community. Watching all your videos from Florida! Keep you the good work MD!

WIN! I’m from Oregon, US, and I’m learning so much from your videos! Thank you!

Win - from the United States, California. got a 40 gal, 5 gal, and a 3.5 gal. About to set up a 90 gal. Love the videos, the aqua scapes are another level!!!

Win - I'm from the US. Just started my first real aquarium with a Betta. I happened upon your channel when researching substrate. Hah you introduced me to aquascaping. I loved how you made it approachable and not an elitist type thing, and that it doesn't have to be expensive. Plus you resemble my friend, also from the UK... everything, hair, face, eyes, gym haha...

Win-i am a fellow brit who owns a 30cm planted cube tank and a 4ft malawi tank. Thanks for getting me into the art of aquascaping!!!

Who would of thought 2 years ago API would be sponsoring the videos good job man your the best

Win - ive been keeping fish for a few years now and work at my local fish store. Always enjoy your fishkeeping content. Your scapes are awesome. Keep doing what you do.

WIN I started fish keeping last year and I love it. I've learned a lot in the last year and I'm going to try my first proper aquascape soon. Love your videos!

WIN! Yes keeping it simple is the best way for beginners, thank you MD!

WIN!! From Australia and my then 3 year old was gifted goldfish for her birthday and I was desperatly looking for help, I stumbled apon your chanel when you were setting up the planted golfish tank in your garage shed and have been watching ever since, look forward to the new videos that come out each week. We now have two tanks as the goldfish needed the upgrade, and cant wait to get a few more :)

Win - As a local Tivotonian, watching your videos got me into the hobby. I currently have 2 tanks, looking rescape them both.... and I’m always looking to expand the amount of tanks I have. Your tanks are amazing!

Win- I’m just beginning my aquariums journey and a your channel has helped me a lot by learning how to properly care and prepare and tank. I thank you a lot for everything.😊

Win- hi I am from india and currently I am in the fish hobby since last 4 years. I haven't left any of your videos without watching them and as always it is a pleasure watching and learning from you. I have some budget concerns but I am managing those. I have 3 tanks now one a planted and the other 2 normal. But I want tanks at every corner of my house :) 😍 and one day I will do it. Thanks for the knowledge and entertainment. Take care and be safe and I hope to see you soon.

WIN - I had my first tank at 12 yrs of age, then a long break raising my kids, and now am starting back up again now that I am an empty nester. Currently I have 7 freshwater cichlid tanks that I am trying to break down for a move a couple of hours away due a new job. I have never had any planted tanks but you are inspirational and have taught me a ton - I am inspired to try when I get the next set of tanks set up!!! Thanks for the great content!!

Thank you for your channel. You can never know what a difference you made in my life. I became a disabled nurse a year ago. On my good days I play with my fish and plants. Bad days I sit, crochet and enjoy the view of my fish and plants. Can you consider doing a video of a small patio pond for the summer? Thank you again.

Win - I started this hobby just before the covid lockdown. It is the most rewarding hobby I ever found, really enjoying it. I have 3 nano tanks now, thanks to you MD. lol

Win!! Loving the videos MD! Moved to uni and am missing my tanks at home, one shrimp one tetra aquarium, I never had the funds to do things ‘properly’ in aquascaping; never the less I get by. Keep it up, you ignite passion, and that is a wonderful quality. All the best everyone :)

Win from Victoria Australia been in lockdown on and off for two years, have had you and five tanks to keep myself and my partner busy and we appreciate your videos😊

WIN My name is Sean and I live in Southern California. I've been into the fish keeping hobby for 10 years after I got my first tank for Christmas when i was 13. That was a 5 gallon and I've only just recently started to upgrade. I did my first planted tank about a year ago and now I am WAY more into the hobby. All of my tanks have live plants in them. Thank you so much for the inspiration. If it wasn't for you, I'd still be using ugly plastic plants. lol

New to aqua-scaping. I live in the middle of nowhere Indiana, USA. No tanks yet, but looking to start my first tank in the next month or so. Love, love, love your videos!!! ... and, oh yeah...WIN!!!

WIN!😊 Hello MD! I have several aquariums, a 200 liter community, a 160 liter goldfish, a 54 liter platty and a 25 liter shrimp tank. This video came just in time as I need make one for the office where I work. 😉

WIN - After about a 15 year hiatus from reef keeping I am getting back into the hobby on the freshwater side. I'm babysitting my granddaughter's 20 gallon and 10 gallon while she is away to college. Of course I caught the bug again and purchased a 60 gallon that is now in a dark cycle. Let the fun begin!! Your channel is my favorite and I watch every single day, I have lots to catch up on. You are my inspiration!!! ❤❤❤

Simple yet elegant. Love this one!

Love the simplicity, thanks MD🇿🇦

WIN Joe West from Christchurch Dorset, UK. I have 2 tanks. A recently cycled 10L nano Endler Guppy, planted cave and a 30cm cube lava rock planted, Beta/nano fish community set up. This channel is 100% my favourite. Keep it up MD! YOU THE MAN!

WIN - I'm from Atlanta (USA). I've learned a lot from your videos. Currently I have a 75 gallon planted community tank with kuhli loaches, cherry barbs, honey gouramis, and emerald eye rasboras. The plan for the next tank is Discus! Thanks for all the videos and realistic advice.

Win! I went crazy this week at the aquarium store and ended up with three bettas. (Don’t judge me. 🤣). This video couldn’t have come at a better time. Thanks for the inspiration!

LOVE ALL of your NANO Tank builds! This one was particularly amazing because I got to watch your Discuss watch you! They are as obsessed with your builds as we are! :)

Win - I just got my first tank about a month ago, it's a 19 liters tank for a betta and some shrimps, which is too small for any fish in Finland. However, it was the previous owner who made the setup and now I'm already planning to buy a bigger tank for the betta. Thanks for inspirational videos! I like it that you haven't cut off those little mistakes that you do or say, it makes your videos personal and funny 😊

WIN - Another of your great creations MD! My 100lt. aquarium was set up back in the days following your useful tips and advices! Thank you!

Hello Mr. MD I’m an 14 year old aquascaper and I love you videos! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, and I just wanted to say you make awesome videos! Regards Caspar Welting

WIN- I have a aqua one 380 community aquarium, a jar tank for my betta fish which is heavily planted, no filter and is dirted. Finally i have a fully planted 25l red rili and cherry shrimp aquarium. I live cromer, Norfolk. Full time chef so I find my aquariums is what keeps me sane after a long day in the kitchens. Cheers MD
