the best planted tank channel on YT, without any doubt. no pretensions, no geek speak, no "you must..." it's so encouraging to see this kind of wonderful plant growth without CO2 and hi tech gadgetry... brilliant

I think I would actually like to see you cut back an over grown tank and show the process of bringing one back to life without ripping everything out and trimming it up.

Nothing better than seeing an MD upload when down in the dumps. Cheers me right up :)

imagine a moss-only scape, with super thin branches so the moss can’t get as large and just an entire background of flowing moss. could make it a high flow setup to help combat the detritus getting stuck in the moss

This man is so underrated on KZfaq MD your a legend and thanks to you my tanks are just like yours clean simple but amazing keep up the brilliant work with your tanks

Great update. I think that rainbowfish scape idea with the multiple islands for them to swim through/around is a stellar idea. Not a very common scape, so I'm interested in how you will do that. When I build the motivation to rescape my 75 gallon I'll definitely use your deep substrate method. I think it just helps everything from the plants to the fish. Appreciate all that I learn from you, MD. Take care.

MD's attack on the Monster Moss was a long time coming. I knew you would not be able to resist doing the tank over. The Rainbows look amazing and I am sure they will thrive in the new setup. You have so many plants you won't need to buy any and the colors and shapes you have give you plenty to choose from. I'm looking forward to both builds as your Beta is stunning.

Absolutely love this build! You inspired me to make a beautiful planted tank and it’s given me infinite joy ever since! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us MD!!!!!!!!!!!! 😎

So many good tanks on the way. I know there are a lot of viewers who are wishing you'd leave your tanks up but I love the fact that you break them down after 6 months or so. It gives you tons of experience, content, and endless ideas for different setups. Can't wait to see... As always, cheers MD.

Really glad to hear that we’re going to get to see these Rainbows grow and mature for a while longer. The best is yet to come for them!

You are such a legend! I have learnt so much from you. I picked up 3 otocinclus today to put in one of my tanks, I wouldn't have known what they were if I didn't watch your vids....Clean up crew is a must in all tanks. Thankyou and keep them coming

Wow, all your tanks look great and that too without CO2, amazing how your plants look colourful without it. How do you manage...love your videos.

Great update video! I can't wait to see the new builds for the rainbow fish and betta!

Was just looking for a video to watch while scaping my new tank, and there you were MD!👍🏻😁🐟🌱

So excited to see you do your new Ideas for your tanks keep up the awesome work

Looking forward to the next set up

Glad you got rid of the moss, started to look way too crowded. Looking forward to seeing the new setup. Cheers🥃🇦🇺

This Video is good for me, Thanks for sharing.

That tank at the shop came out amazing wow! That’s a perfect scape of what I would love to have myself , I may do that as well thank you! 😄

Great video ~ Really, really LOVE the white dumbo betta !!! ❤

You never stopped entertaining us ❤️

You deserve a million subs. Your Aquarium’s look amazing!!

Wow .... what a transformation .... love the new scape

As always, another great video. As you surmised, the tipburn on your Spathiphyllum probably has a lot to do with the light, but it also wouldn’t be my first choice to grow in water like that. If Colocasias are available where you live, try them out. I think you’ll find they’re super easy, low maintenance plants that thrive in that kind of setup, plus they look really cool. I grow a variety called ‘Mojito’ that’s stunning. Look it up and you’ll see what I mean. Anyway, keep it up!

The green bowl made me laugh out loud XD

Love that you gave the fidh more room. Yes the moss was beautiful..now you got lovely acclimatised moss to use in other tanks...what about a mossy hanging wall tank for your shrimp?

Excellent stress reliever

the way the fish went. Oh it's go time! as soon as the filter was turned on!

Loved the video as I do with all of your stuff, still hoping you will update on the tank you tried pond soil as a substrate.

If you get the time, could we get a Timelapse of a tank growing? Like the plants growing in a Timelapse as it’s own video?

Was finna comment how good the electric blue acara tank looks, but after you showed a couple other tanks during the video, I thought damn all of your tanks look so cool, so many different elements in the tank for the fishes to enjoy. You're so good at it!

I love the moss but yeah it was the right call, it was taking over the tank.

New build! New build!

I'm excited to see this 😍

I loved the way that moss was out of control 🤣

I'm 42 years old and after watching your channel I've decided gonna build myself an aquarium for the first time. Keep up good work you do !!

man... i love your work, but i hate that you take down takes after a couple of months. the longer a tank is set up, the more stable it becomes. your water is so good, i would back off on the light a bit to reduce growth and therefore less trimming. you build beautiful tanks.

Everything’s looking amazing MD! You ever thought of doing a celestial pearl danios scape!? Keep up the awesome content! 👍

Its going to take me a few days to get over the trauma. I loved that moss.

TWO build videos coming up??? Oh you spoil us MD 😂

When someone mentions pearl weed first thing that pops in my mind is MD 🤣

agree fpr tear down. she done! excited to see more suited rainbow tank. was beautiful to start tho

The moss looks like the boar god from Princess Mononoke 🤓

very beautiful alvaria

I literally just bought some JavaMoss the other day because I wanted the look you had lol.

What's the name of the moss growing on the wood? Thank you

Stirling moss !

I'm trying to build a tank on a budget and today got se moss growing near a stream.i will hopefully use it in my tank.

well done on the moss growth regardless of whats happened to it. do you put it down to good lighting, good water and leaf zone?

I was worried what the tank would look like when you cut that moss back but I actually much prefer it now. It looks fantastic

I think it's the 5th time I comment 🤣 where is Timmy!? Learning loads. My thanks at home is so much healthier💪🎉thank you!

So like fish , nice .

baby guppies stay at the surface for a few days/weeks when first born ... I provide floating plants for them to hide in ... eventually they will hide in the lower plants.

make the new rainbow tank like your old river tank with the island in the middle so it can flow in a circle around the tank that old river island tank was my favorite

Please get some newts or some special of amphibian. Love your stuff keep up the great work.

Moss so healthy 😍

Dude if my moss became like yours i will never trim it hahahahaa Its so beautiful like that

Do something different this time for the Beta Aquarium! I love your videos but me and maybe some followers would like to see some different setup, maybe a "desert" theme, reds, yellows, white or red sand, black or red rocks, i dont know! I just think it would look cool :D Once again, thank you for your videos i really find your voice and your videos relaxing :D Keep up with the good work.

I really hope you do a altolamprologus black calvus tank! I really love the rainbows though, probably my favourite of all aquarium hobby fish.

What type of moss was this? Looked beautiful.

omg I want that THICK moss blob!!

Which camera do you use . means seriously the clarity and colours 😱😱😱😱

Where can I get one of the attachments you use to fill your tanks? Thanks!

MD when are we getting a killifish setup! 😬😬😬 cant stop thinking about that australes!

Moss have rhizoids and not roots and they create their own little matted micro-ecosystem to process all he detritus that falls down into the lower mass. I am very envious of the moss you took out - I cannot get my moss to grow like that (boo hoo me)

A beautiful, natural looking aquarium. Please let me know if this cleaner is safe and effective, i.e. does it not cause scratches in the aquarium?

you had to do it for the space and it makes sense but still rip beautiful moss

What I would like to see is someone copy exactly one of the tanks, but in a hard water area. That way we can see the difference between hard and soft water.

Hey MD what's that light on the beta fish tank? It looks real nice

What did you make the hook you use to fill aquariums so the water pressure doesn’t shoot down into the substrate?

Me: its been 3 months, Why aren't my plants growing?! MD: Hold my moss😅

Hi MD, do the rainbowfish eat more then the regular fish because they 'waste' so much energy on the high flow?

The internal filters you use. What watts are they? I kno you have links posted by they just take you to the page. Then it gives you options of different ones. Also I'm from Canada, can't get same ones as you. Think I found one very similar and it comes in 3.5w, 5w, 7w, and 10w.

Off topic but do you do any kind of maintenance on your plant storage tanks? Possible video on how you got them up and running?

Been looking forward to seeing that moss trimmed but the time lapse?! 😩

Where do you get those things that hold your lights higher above your tank? What exactly are they called?

You make another shrimp tank using all that moss. Use it to make a moss wall across the back of the tank.

I saw this tank when you first planted it. What are you doing to get that moss growing so well?

I did a dry start with chopped fissidens moss on my lava rock and its impossible to get rid of now. I love the look of it but It completely covered the rock and I miss the brown color of the rick to offset some of the green I literally took one of the rocks out and threw it in the oven for an hour and it still grew back in a couple weeks…

In Australia one golf ball portion of Java moss is $20

Would love to see like a 6ftx2ft or like and 8x2 done by you for rainbows and just have a huge school in there playing in the flow

I knew once you cut that moss out...Time for a new scape. 👍❤👍

That moss would be my dream tank.

Hi MD, could you please put some cheery chrimp with the beta, I think it would be a nice detail. Thanks

Looking forward to your next non simple tank with a million plants!!! Btw it is totally your fault I’m currently cramming a fourth tank into my one bedroom apartment

I'll take some of that mosssssss!!!!

Hi MD what type of moss is this please ??

koi guppies look amazing

Another episode🤗

i love all your tanks as they always provide somewhat of a balanced and welcoming appearance once grown in but this one especially, as well as the red plant only tank, are simply eyecatching and breathtaking. i would have removed everything in this tank but the sand and the wood covered in moss, it simply was that amazing of an eye-catcher & focal point but that being said, opinions are like a*holes, everyone has them and many stink. you are doing one hell of a job of aquarist entertainment!

If you ever see upper Katherine rainbows buy some instantly, stunning fish.

@md fish tanks Was watching a few videos and rescaping a 20gal.. and my 3yo keep sayin a wanna watch more of the guy with no hair..... didnt even see that avenue of marketing lol!!!!

I am so interested to know what species of moss is that because I want some for my tank.

The betta is a platinum dumbo HMPK (halfmoon plakat) ;)

You could do a dutch style scape on this

How often should I be feeding my mini school of neon tetras? I have about 20

those colombians are basically bigger than the neons! no way they can get picked off now 😂

I would love to see you try something different! Be interesting to see you try an iwagumi or diorama style aqua scape

White Betta swimming through a forrest of red plants 👀
