My parents don’t want me to get a tank until I get out the house so i just live my fish keeping dreams through your amazing scapes and ideas. Amazing video ❤

The finished set up looks like a picture from a magazine. I hope you feel genuine pride over this. All your years of experience culminating into this beautiful scene. I cant get over it. It looks like you picked up part of a lake or river and captured it in glass. 😢 beautiful beautiful

I just want to say thank you for this series. I copied everything you did but for my 5 foot tank. Even things like seeing how you hooked up the UV clarifier to the fx6 was a huge help for me to install. I've not got any livestock yet as I'm letting the tank run for a couple weeks and then will start with shrimp. Thanks so much!

Love the 8ft tank! Now time to do a 10ft tank 😮

You should do a livestream with a cam on this tank so we can click on it and just watch the tank as it's going about in the day

Hello. First I want to say that I have been watching your videos for a few years now and they've always been an inspiration to any aquariums I have set up. That being said, none of your previous videos came anywhere near the quality and inspiration this one did. I stumbled across this build probably mid way through the split up series. Now watching everything come together, I was completely blown away by the thoughts, planning, and emotion you put into this project. I watched every second without stepping away. Be proud of what you did and never stop. Much love from a fan across the pond.

BTW, MD really needs to get credit for how physical it is to get tanks running, especially in his old studio, hauling buckets of water. This was really exhausting 😂, to fill and do my 1st water change and I only have a 29 gallon breeder tank. Unbelievable how much water that actually is 😂 I'm just appreciating your efforts and the work it takes to set up tanks 🎉 the end results are always wonderful and great learning experiences. I'm so happy I stumbled on this channel for the wealth of knowledge and also the feel of this channel and the people who follow.

I can see why you are so proud of this. It is absolutely wonderful. A piece of paradise.

I wish i knew this was coming out. I rewatched all the 8ft videos on Saturday. I would have waited for this overwise 😂

Now this is a great start to the week! It's clear that this project has been a dream come true for you and for many of us as well! Couldn't be happier for you MD😀

Ok got a mug of tea and some bikkies - this is going to be so much better than any film :)

Side note. More species adventures and more salt water? So many unknown species. With every new one you introduce is literally a HUGE learning opportunity for fisheries. I know they’re just your personal tanks, but even real researches don’t always get such a close opportunity to explore individual species and different environments/ relationships, etc. thanks…. Always love ! Happy to have this opportunity to experience, even if I don’t have it

Thanks so much for making 1 and a half hours of my day amazing and inspiring

Lovely video, showing every step of the process of setting up such a huge aquarium. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks much!

OMG 😮it’s absolutely beautiful and I love the amount of fish , I wish I could do something like that. It’s beautiful to look at. Love your work and videos ,so you should be proud 😊

Absolutely dream tank❤

I think we all love the 8ft utopia and would enjoy more series, or vlogs in general. This has captivated our attention . Series make us feel more involved in the process but also the ever changing growth.

WOW! That is the most beautiful ever! ❤

beautiful, just love seeing all the fish living in their wonderful home.

Youve inspired me to get my very own 8 foot tank.. being built as i enjoy this video...

Amazing tank, beautiful plants, perfect fish, totally serene. I hope you enjoy it for a long time. ❤

Absolutely brilliant video mate. Stunning result. Big well done 👏

Can’t wait to sit down later after work and watch this MD! Love your videos!

Masterpiece! Years of exciting and hard work captured in this project. Congratulations MD!

You did a really amazing job! Can’t wait to see more of your art….. these planted tanks are the most beautiful style to me

MD thank you for everything you do and teach us, absolutely beautiful tank!!

Why is aquascaping so expensive 😭 if I had the materials I would make the best tank ever

I love to watch you do this the way you demonstrate ❤ you

Such a beautiful tank and a wonderful variety of fish species as well. Well done sir.

I'd love to see more about the "setbacks" you sometimes run into, and what you do about them. You mentioned you got pretty good at spotting what needs changing in the first 4 weeks so that after this period it's on autopilot. That's the sort of thing I'd love to learn more about!

My favorite video of yours so far. Stunning tank. You have a gift, thank you for sharing.

That tank is exceptional, truly amazing!

Best setup I've ever seen MD, you really out did yourself,. Thank you for the inspiration

Yes! Love the long videos with full start to finish builds!

This tank is EPIC, MD!

MD yor are awsome .................... I am a fishkeeper too from Bangladesh. Hope the best for you and your family . How is your sons doing......give them love from me

Er hat anscheinend echt sein "Meisterwerk" gestaltet. Ein sehr schönes Becken! Vorteile hatte er insoweit, als dass er die Pflanzen schon submers zur Verfügung hatte ... 😉.. Dadurch war das "Problem" Algen auch nicht so das Thema ...😁

That’s fantastic video. Well explained and came out beautifully. Well done 👏

Beautiful tank! Great inspiration for a rescape I'm doing on my 8ft tank.

Good one MD, I was hoping for a compilation of this tank. It looks amazing.

So peaceful and beautiful, love it 🥰

Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.

Stunning. Amazing job.

You should not skip planting, one of the most intersting parts.... I have seen hardscape already so many times. Finding the right plants for each section is way more interesting.

I have been watching you since the beginning. I have to say that this tank is absolutely beautiful. Amazing work my friend

It turned out amazing MD. It's a goals tank for sure.

Un grand merci à vous pour la vidéo!

I am beginning the restart on my 280 gallon tank next week. It’s a dream to have a tank this size as you can do practically anything you want.

This is amazing. Wow.

Magnificent piece of art✨️

Yes a full video awesome stuff MD

Watched most of his videos he goes in to eye details everywhere is a master piece 👌

I’m starting my six foot build and this is my inspiration! Amazing is an understatement!

It's a beautiful tank.

This is by far the best tank u have done

PLEASE DO SOMETHING WITH THE BLUEBERRY TETRA THEY ARE RELATIVELY NEW TO THE HOBBY BUT ARE ACTIVE SWIMMERS WITH BEAUTIFUL COLORS😄

Hermoso !!! I like it

A Masterpiece! 🙏💖

I’m getting my first tank because of you and I can’t wait to get started❤

I think that bloom is due to wood, it seems like drift wood needs to be soaked for weeks to remove all the tannins (tannic acid). Driftwood can make aquarium water cloudy or discolored due to tannins released as the wood decays. Tannins can cause the water to turn yellow or brown and reduce pH levels. The water may also look foamy or cloudy

i've been watching the serie of this tank and im about to take 1h29 to watch it again because you're the best i really enjoy your videos. i recently bought my first tank a 90L from superfish that i've seen on your channel (maybe it was a smaler version) im going for 5 amano shrimps 2 honey gourami and 12 celestial pearl Danios you got me in xD Wishing you best luck and fun, from France !

Great work!😊❤

Absolutely spectacular 👌 🙌 🤩

Beautiful!

fantastic vid .thanks

Great success ❤❤❤

Congratulations, Well done!

Excellent fish movie!😀💙🐟🐠🐡

Awesome Work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome tank. It's definitely busier than what I like (but to each his own). I think it if were my tank, I'd put in a boatload of lantern light tetras (green eyed tetras?), some shrimp, and maybe a few larger fish.

Great work mate very impressed

Spectacular!

Gorgeous aquarium 😍🥰

That was magic!

Fantastic!

Masterpiece!

Dieser Pott ist echt dein tollstes Projekt! 👍👍

What a Cool tank!

Beautiful

Masterpiece ❤️👌

Just wow❤

A masterpiece of color and texture!!! When I make my first million I will fly you out to build me this tank! LoL

The angels bring out the best in the tank and the tank brings out the best in the angels.

Magnificent

Just wow

Love your aquariums❤

Amazing 🥲 ❤

Yeah this turned out amazing. It's almost bitter sweet because where do you go from here? Looking forward to finding out. Keep it coming. ✌🏿

Already seen it all a couple of times. Ahwell i guess i’ll watch it again :)

When I had my 50 liters tank I dreamed of a 300 liters tank and now I dream of this 1000 liters tank.

After getting up and down off of a tractor a couple of days ago, I can relate with the hip thing. ❤ Of course, with me my age is showing. 😂

Other series bloggers often follow certain species of animals and plants, etc. and create story lines. As a fish owner you know each species has specific personality traits so observing that (& broadcasting) is helpful. It might seem little but it’s big to viewers. I watch my tanks carefully and definitely notice changes… yea it’s same most days but still the same story is an amazing story. Hope that makes sense . But it helps viewers understand a deeper understanding of each species in different environments.

My 6ft fish tank exploded yesterday lost all the fish not one survived house was flooded love the work you do

You can be proud of that build :)

You have beautiful eyelashes

I love the various fish you have in the tank I personally like several things to watch my 37 gallon I have shrimp, snails, hillstream loaches, danios, and barbs. Love watching it,. In my 29 gallon I have endless, danios hatchet fish, snails, and shrimp, I tried otos after tank was established and had algae but haven't seen them so I don't know what I did wrong there parameters are good do have high ph and hard water but nitrates nitrites and ammonia are low to nonexistent., but love that tank too.

I also do that...ghost feeding for a week to help cicle the tank...it is needed something to get decom.for the bacteria to feed of to start and stablish all the cicle

Nice👍👍👍

Unrelated but you have the most beautiful eyes
