I can't afford therapy, but MD/Matt colabs are the next best thing.

Wasn't planning on watching a whole movie tonight... but here we are 😅

I can't decide which is more fun; watching the build, or watching the two of you bantering about. So entertaining!

whenever you say you're not sure if something will make the cut, I'm always glad it made the cut :)

It's like a couple of kids playing with toys. You two are like the perfect fish friends!

Not enough videos on KZfaq about fresh water tanks. They are so so so much more interesting than Salt Water tanks. I had an 8 Ft tank myself what I lived in the USA.

Annette is a really busy lady, she helps me land my fish all the time when fishing.

I absolutely love Matt and MD together. This tank is epic, and whole video made me ignore every chore I should have been doing. Love this one, MD!

It’s so much fun to watch you guys goofball around…it’s so honest.

I love this full-length feature video of you and Matt! Couldn’t ask for a better collaboration. The tank is lovely, and your friendship is heartwarming. Thank you!🥰🐠🐟🌱🇺🇸

The collab between MD and Matt is pure internet movie magic.

Hope Fish Shop Matt has recovered from the loud, rude woman who'd had to wait a whole 5 minutes on the weekend !!!! He had the patience of a saint😇

I so miss my planted African tank. I need to step back into this hobby after a 22 year hiatus. Than you for these great videos.

Looks much more natural and fish friendly!

Matt is such a likable guy... always makes me smile in the videos!

Best scene is Matt trying to break rocks with that silly toy hammer

I saw this tank today, about 5 months on, it’s looks absolutely amazing when you walk in the shop to this tank, top job as always

Whenever I'm tired and feel as if I can't quite relax I know I can put on a Matt and MD collab video and just feel better. Thanks fellas for showing us the fun you have while working together!

African Congo fish are a nice addition to any river style setting in tanks!

Always love watching you two design together, the banter is unreal. Absolutely love how this tank came out, the selection of fish, the rope snakey things-too cute.

You know what this tank is missing? Some african butterfly fish to be the top dwellers

MD and Matt videos are your best videos in my opinion. Love your normal videos but colabs with Matt just seem like fun and put a smile on my face while watching the scape come together.

You can’t fault a gentleman for being late when he takes so much time doing his hair for you. Do you know nothing jk. Love you guys

Good morning everyone!! 😎👍

It’s the funniest thing to me that I watched the exact video before this one in which you talked about *“let’s fish up”* and making it a t-shirt…and THERE IT IS! 😂😂😂

This tank looks so phenominal! Also Fish Shop Matt, I think MD needs to come out with a 'Sounds Like A Plan' collab shirt/ merch!

I love that this was all 1 video. The tank is amazing!

I miss Maidenhead, it's where I used to get all my aquarium supplies back when I lived that way and was still keeping fish. Great place, and nice to have staff that are friendly and actually care about the customer getting the best experience whilst making sure the fish are cared for appropriately

Hello from Milford, Indiana 🤗 Could watch this another 10 times (or more) so much fun watching the 2 of you work together ❤️ very inspiring as I work on my electric blue acaras 6' tank 😀

Fabulous build. I'm so glad you two have ended up working together. Not only brilliant aquarium builds and so much knowledge , bloody hilarious too. Just watched this whole thing yesterday - watching it again lol

I personally would never advise anything like this. Though, as you say only from your own source. Absolutely, filter media. I'm 56, and have kept fish since I've been 18. Plus loads of mates do the same. We've learnt from each other over time. Way before KZfaq.😂 Really enjoy this channel. Viewed from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Super entertaining build guys! Loved the bit at the end showing months after the build, which is always great to see because it looks way better after it has settled and grown in, so I’m really glad that was included. 😁👍

one of the best aquascape vids

I like how more fish shops are Aquascaping there tanks these days. New merch MD Directory coming soon

I gave a thumbs up before watching. Always epic!!

I'm learning allot about plants and aquariums thanks to your videos!

Супер красота! И весёлые ребята 😂

Sucker fish is amazing another favorite😊

That moment when you click on an interesting looking video at almost 3am without looking to see how long it is only to realize it's over two hours... guess I'll be coming back to this one later.. *16 hours later I'm back.

I love that you put it all together as one video!! It’s a movie length video!!! Great to see it all together in one video!!

2 hours of pure aquascape and fish at 2 in the morning i couldnt ask for more

What a great movie....no words...everything has been said👍👏

Making an aquascape is now on my bucket list thanks to MD!!

love that fish shop matt is just some guy named matt who works at a fish shop. icon

Stunning! When I traveling down from Wales to Tavi too see my daughter I might stop off and see it in person...fab video!!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

So good to watch the whole series in one go.. 2 hours long, but well worth it. Good job MD, even if Fish Shop Mat ( must be hard work, working & keeping MD entertained, whilst waiting for a baby to arrive) got in the way alot, LOL!! Awesome job guys... Next, has defiantly has to be the Sting Ray tank.. xxx

This is the most beautiful and natural looking freshwater tank I’ve ever seen, especially after it matured over a few weeks. 🐟🌿🐚☺️

Didn't plan on watching a 2 hour movie on this, but then I did it and loved it. A lot that could have been left out, but the banter is what makes it personable. Could make so many comments, but see you don't do replies. Congrats on video, quickly nearing a million views in only 10 months!

Oh great…now I have to get more Congo tetra….thanks a lot guys! 😤🤭

First time I’ve ever watched any video this long of anything at all! Non stop humor and really liked it

Awesome❤❤❤❤❤❤lots of work fun,and Art Water shaping.❤loved it.

omg! I love everything about this tank, but i especially love the rope fish! soooo cool! they're like little dragons or something and their faces are adorable! i love how they eat too. So cute!

O love clown loachs those are gorgeous😊

The only thing better than this video in its current state would have been a "director's cut" with you MD, and Fish Shop Matt - doing a voice over all along - giving us extra info and behind the scenes details!

I would LOVE to see something for an Axolotl!!

I love watching your videos, they are so relaxing and sometimes funny. It’s better than tv. Please don’t stop.

Should´ve just have put Matt in a mermaid costume in there, that would´ve been lovely! :)

would you post videos of just hours of a tank running? I miss my tank and the noise of the filter and the better then TV drama. these videos you have are all very informative and entertaining but i would like to bask in a few hours of your tanks just doing what they do too.

Under the conditions of the country I live in, just 1 pack of that sand is around $1000, so I can only get excited :D

Loving the silliness and how you two play off of each other! Thank you for sharing!

It's fun to hop around the videos from different time periods. In the previous one the guys were debating about making "LET'S FISH UP" T-shirt and deciding against it. 😂

absolutely love this! i’ve been working at a pet store for almost 2 years and fish have always been my main interest. so cool to see every piece of this build, really helps me to recommend the best things for customers, as well as my own tanks. thank you for this wonderful content!!

This can be the audition reel for the MD & Matt Show💋

I reckon you two would be great to share a beer with. Hopefully one day I’ll make the trek from Australia and make it happen. Fish talk and beer…winning combo haha. Great video as always MD.

i watch every VDO of this tank, but don't know why i watch it again. haha

Aaaah, so cute! What a *bromance* !

If I ever visit the UK I have to visit this shoppe.

two hours in and I just remember why I open my laptop to do some assignments some about fish tanks that is just right

"Sit back. Get some popcorn maybe" me: sideyes my just finished off bowl of popcorn

Great to be able to watch it all in 1 go easily!

When you put in that first rock it reminded me of the Titanic when it hit the ocean bottom in the movie LOL, great job it looks amazing

You two work well together and always make me smile‼️❣️‼️ But...WHY no Africal Rams/ Dwarf Cichlids ⁉️‼️⁉️. Are they more lake than river fish? Years ago...about 55 yrs...I kept tropical fish. I had 13 tanks my parents hung on the living room wall. Of course I had every common fish I could find and bred most of them. My Rams were my favorite. One thing I liked was their shape... but of course, color is exceptional!

Matt....You look like your in a real good mood. 😊

i wonder who's been training danny lol, bless him

Cheers Ste really appreciate the time you have taken to do this video and Tom fantastic build looking forward to see the progression of the tank 😍👍

The personalities on these two are so damn attractive 😊

I really enjoyed this video. U two make me laugh. Ur both so talented.🎉

imagine those fish enjoying their lives in that tank then being bought and put into a 1 gallon tank

i would prefer to walk into a shop like that(its awesome looking/clean..everything you want in a local fish shop)and see an 8 foot tank with the same fish set up after a couple of years. LOOK see what YOU CAN DO kind of thing.

So beautiful!

An amazing, amazing tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems like you've made quite the friend! You guys laugh and get along great. I love watching the goofy antics.

Omg omg omg. Planned for an early night tonight, guess I’ve been told otherwise.

Rewatching this again 🤣🤣🤣 you guys together are quite the comedy team. Amazing build😍

You guys are adorable

Two brilliant lads giving great advice and saves you money on setups. Ive won awards for reef tanks in the past. I know proper aquarium keepers when i see them.

What an absolutely beautiful tank you've all made 😍 so stunning!

Saw a new way to fill the water for the first time. Excellent. 👀👍

I always love your videos MD. The rapport and antics with Matt makes you both a great team act.

I have got to say, this aquarium came out so good. It is like a piece of art. Bravo gentleman!

I love the goofiness. Please keep showing us the non-polished bits.

Love you two, clowning around, not to serious.. watching from Perth Australia ..

Wish my local Maidenhead store was so good

I love when yall are together always making me laugh. Keep up the great work

Simply magnificent ...

Man I love just putting you on every night about an hour before I go to bed with your vids on auto-play.... you and matt are such cheerful souls its a nice peace to watch and fall asleep to. Perfect duo 🫶🏼

beautiful aquascape

This tank is my favorite. A real show stopper. You should keep this one instead of changing it out later.

this tank is neat.
