respect having to admit it wasn't an easy ride with algae. as always your videos are more like therapy than tutorials lol

I love that your channel features both low tech and high tech aquariums! I look forward to your new videos each week.

That beautiful! I love it!

Beautiful! You are the master.

Gorgeous!

Beautiful bowl scape! Wow! You are always such an inspiration!

Magnifique comme a chaque fois! j'adore

Beautiful!

What a great idea, beautiful...

Zoals steeds weer een heel mooi project.❤

Two things to say: 1: WOW! 2: I Love it and i want it! :D

The lay out of the aquarium is perfect

It’s Gorgeous 🎉

Your videos are so soothing and give me motivation to maintain and add to my planted tank

The prettiest bowl setup I've seen so far!

STUNNING. Feeling inspired to try no-filter next, you make it look so beautiful and so easy

Its such a beautiful aquascape. The driftwood arrangements is awesome❤

Wow, that’s beautiful! I like the big, round bowl! And I didn’t know that would happen with the bubbles - I always learn something new from these vids

Absolutely amazing, as always! As an Aussie, so jealous of the products you're able to acquire 😅

Mega Glas, mega eingerichtet, absoluter Respekt vor deiner Arbeit. Gruß Tyler

Hello my friend, it was a nice sharing. ❤❤

I just really wish I could build something like this some time, hopefully I get to have more time for this hobby and I will definitely use all of your advice! Amazing scape as always!

Great bowl aquascape 👍🏻

Quite big! 🐟

so beautiful MJ ! Always love ur content ! Your fan, from India !

Nailed it MJ and its better than the previous two excellent no filter vessels: vase #1 and #2. Brilliant scape ❤

Amazing. Keep it up

I love the fact that you can turn any scape into lush and magical..this bowl makes me wonder if I also need to try one...

Nice work 😊

This was mesmerising to watch! I need to find a bowl that size for a terrarium for sure😅

Awesome bowl best I’ve seen! Also great physique my man gym progress shows keep at it!

fantastic.

wow man!

FULLY AGREE with the sparkling gouramis comment. I had some which would sometimes croak like a frog lol

Always waiting a new video 😄

Funny thing, i did set up a tank with almost the same plant selection and it was around 28-30C for about a month when summer peaked, i wasnt doing regular water change, with almost 12kilos of amazonia shit got real and melted almost every new plant.But now it is back on track, yours look absolutly stunning well done and thanks for sharing my man!

I have a 38 L Bowl. I set it up about 11 months ago, I had a lot of algae problems but it's good now.

Man I have two fish bowl ecosystem no filters! And so cool to see you have one now!!!

My man is SHREDDED 😩

Beautiful 🦐

Thanks!

Looks fantastic! I’ve been thinking of doing something like this sometime too. Right now space for more tanks is at a premium… lol.

Love how this turned out! Also please where more tank tops 😜🤣

Time consuming.. awesome, even after all the alge .. respect and loving all your videos

Woooow Bodybuilder bro

Wish I could find a bowl this big!

Definately a departure from an average sized fishbowl! 😅 Love the plants, shrimp and Sparkiling Gouramis! 👍

Such a beautiful aquascape may your day be blessed 🐟🪻

Great, loved it. Would u give an update on ur macro algae tank, as i said earlier, I am planning the same. Procured tank of 3*1.5 ft

I really love this bowl! For context, I recently purchased a bowl about this size from Amazon in the US: it was $99. I eventually sent it back because it was sooo thin I wasn't convinced of its durability. Your glass looks thicker . So beautiful!!

Absolutely love it, Mark! I honestly believe this is the ONLY way to go when doing a freshwater bowl aquarium: no filter, no CO2, and LOADS of plants! I love your DIY light stand too. I immediately felt uncomfortable seeing the initial setup with the clamp on the rim. Curved glass can be so scary! It can crack instantly if there's some critical pressure point!

more plants is always better when setting up a no filter. u definitely followed that guideline

WOW that's the nicest bowl Ive ever seen! I'm starting to get better at planted tanks, I'm learning to get through algae problems and get good plant growth. id love to be as good as you some day do you have any tips on getting lots of growth and avoiding algae? Also looking big MJ I see you've been on that gym grind! 💪🔥

U should make videos wearing vests more❤. Love the aquascape

You could do a hybrid Walstad method …. Garden soil base layer and aqua soil on top ….. I was wondering if it would lead to any algae issues

Wow it’s looks great Mark! I want a xxl bowl now 😂 the plants have grown in so nice and great use of textures! I need to set up another scape soon! Now to talk my son into having a fish tank in his room instead of a reptile 🤔😂

I think this is one of my favourites of yours. Looks amazing.... I don't think I could afford all those shrimp though. They would cost around £300 in the UK

Do you add fertilizers to this jar, if so how much and how many times a week. Looks great!!

Great video’s! I do have a question for you, can you add the names of plants and/or as text on your video’s? But again great stuff

Nice bowl set up you got there... Hope my vase can turn into like your soon.. Just wanna ask if you have co2 in your bowl?

It would have been epic to bring the bowl home on the bike, a video series on its own?

Mj has the best physique I have seen from a aqauscape youtuber and deadlifts 140 kg for reps! Very impressive

Hi, MJ! I really love this low tech setup! It's so beautiful. I do not have a tank of any kind, but I find your videos inspiring. They really make me want to try it. That said, I'm afraid of how much maintenance they require. How often do you feed your shrimp and what do you feed them with? Is it a self sustaining ecosphere that does not require feeding? How often do you test the water? How long does each aquascape last before you feel the need to dismantle and start over? Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 😃

“I know you guys want some numbers” The man knows us!

it's very pretty😍😍every single plant looks gorgeous. BTW for a 10 gallon tank (I haven't decided it's going to be no CO2 or with DIY CO2) is dwarf hair grass a better choice for carpet or the plant that you used hear?

Gwell, gains my god

MJ low key jacked

Looks beautiful. I wish these bowls were more available in the states. Won't the crypts eventually take over the bowl? Some day I will do the same. Absolutely LOVE sparkling gourami!!

❤❤❤

Stunning mate, do you use tap water or RO ? Also how often water change ? Tempted to do something similar. Dean

Love your nano builds,have to try one my self, must be hot in NL?

Can I ask what the tube is in the back? Originally thought it was CO2 but you mentioned that was the plants making the bubbles. Looks amazing! ❤

Very nice! Did you feed the cherry shrimp after adding them or do rely on the algae in the tank?

Looks great! Are you concerned about the sparkling gourami with the shrimp? I'm trying to decide whether to put a pair in my tank when it's ready for fish

sparkling gourami are really beautiful. do they hunt little shrimps?

Beautiful bowl! Any chance of those sparkling gouramis eating or hassling the shrimp or shrimplets?

are you using co2 injection? whats the tube coming out of the back of the bowl for? it looks amazing!

Do you have co2 in this bowl? its amazing how the plants are pearling

It looks beautiful. One question. Is there a certain thickness in glass that we should look for when choosing a bowl like this?

Did you put co2 in it? If so, is it your diy co2? Thanks! Looking awesome as always, such an inspiration you are! Keep up the good work, Mark!

Did you glue the plants to the spider wood?

Hey, how often do you think what water changes should be done in a bowl this size? I have almost exacly the same one as you.

Hi, can You make video about Yout "new" ferterizers 2Hr ?thx

❤

Do you use fertilizer for set up like this? Great job keep going :)

Does the bowl require any Co2 dosing or root tabs Looks stunning and I’m onto sourcing a massive fish bowl and creating something similar Love the channel bravo 👏🏻

Great job! Do you fertilize?

i was not expecting that huge bowl. it's bigger than my aquarium

Hey MJ, i have questions regarding your old diy co2 setup that was recently replaced: 1. Did you turn it off at night or did you always leave it inside / keep it running? 2. Did you use any needle valve or sth like that to control the amount of co2 or did you just go from the bottle straight to the diffusor?

It's simply stunning! I keep rewinding to look at the end results of the bowl. Beautiful! How did you get the H'ra/ SuperRed sooooo RED even without the injection of CO2? Kindly advise..

Where in the UK can i get a bowl that size and glass thickness? I really want to put one together.

do u use water with co2 in it?

Just wondering if you had a brand for the bowl? Would love to find it here in the UK.

Mooi! Maar ik heb een vraagje. Moet je osmose water gebruiken voor kreeftjes ? Of is er een ander methode om ze gezond te behouden?

I too have just set up a 30 cube and plants have started to melt.. surprisingly enough, crypts are not melting... I'm dumbfounded 😅

Is there no problem with o2 when the lights are out and the plants consume it instead of producing it?

I am still looking for a glass workshop within the eu that can make me a 60 cm (diameter) fishbowl. That would be enough to get more than 100 liter water in

Nice, what percentage are you running the light at ?

Mag ik vragen welke winkel je de bowl hebt gekocht?
