I have never disliked a single tank you have designed. You are one lucky man to have found your calling and also get to work in that field. Your channel is very inspiring 🤗 Thank you.

This is what I needed today

When I'm having a stressful day this is the channel I go to to relax 😊 I've had aquariums my whole life & moving from CA to TX caused me to pack that stuff away. This inspires me to get back to my hobby ❤

I’m in Canada and haven’t been able to find pond soil ANYWHERE! So I’ve used top soil in 6 new setups this year and it’s been brilliant, no water quality issues and the plants are exploding! What Ive done though is place a layer of filter floss above and below the soil layer so maybe that’s keeping it in place and with enough movement

I like how the aquarium isnt so tall, makes it easier for glass cleaning and any maintenance instead of a circus act on a set of step ladders

If you put that wood into some pond or a barrel for a few months (to year), you might be able to reuse it. It won't be leeching forever. AFAIK it's fine to use local wood, if you know what trees to avoid. I've seen pictures of tanks which used willow, with a risk of a tree growing out of a tank. 😀 Also great result as usual, MD!

You and fish shop Matt are my favorite utubers! I've tried other scapers channels but none compared. I go into withdrawal if I don't see at least one of you guys in a week. In that case I rewatch an older one. Thanks so much!

Md fish tanks is the BEST KZfaq Chanel ever!

Beautiful tank MD! The fish look amazing in their new home. Thank you.

I do love watching your builds, especially with these kits. This one turned out lovely! The fish look so much better now.

Good to have you back! Needed another MD set up video

I like how you set up the plants around the driftwood and behind it , another beautiful set up great job.

Love this tank. One of my favorites you made so far.

Hey MD Thanks for getting me into this hobby. Didn't realize I was missing this in my life. Keep doing what you're doing champ..

The keyhole cichlids are very beautiful - cichlids are fun to watch. Nice mix of tetras with them too.

Those Tetras are absolutely spectacular!

Thank you for holding the plant with name tag up to the camera. Very helpful, indeed. I so enjoy your videos. At the end, I slow it down muted to really appreciate each tank ... each work of art. ❤ from 100*F, south Texas, USA

You’re such an inspiration, MD. Thank you, from🇺🇸

Brilliant love the tank. Always so amazed at your aquariums.

Everytime I watch your videos I feel so inspired for some reason ❤

Thanks Md, you changed my whole view on fish tanks and i hope to upload my own videos soon. Without you, I would’ve never gotten into fish tanks.

Thanks for the videos. I love watching them. I have had aquariums most of my life. But about 18 months ago I decided to take on the challenge for live plants for the first time. I'm learning alot. And enjoying the failures along with my successes.

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!❤❤

Always a good day when MD releases a video. 😊

I waited so long for new content! Thank you!

Amazing new tank, love seeing the new builds and the existing tank updates dude. You've actually inspired me to put together my own fish tank, doing alot of research first (even though I know alot from watching so many of your videos haha) as better safe than sorry. 🙂

What can I say MD once again you create a fabulous scape. You always do, and regarding the laughter of the tubes being placed in the wrong place what can I say we make mistakes even if your an expert in aquariums.

Thank you md you made me redo my fish tank and it looks so much better thank you

Wie immer ist dir wieder gelungen ein schönes Becken einzurichten, in dem sich die Fische von einer Minute auf die andere wohl gefühlt haben! 👍

Garden centres usually sell that pond compost specially if there's an fish aquatics fish shop in there too like ares in Lincolnshire uk

Always beautiful! So relaxing 😌 ❤

And absolutely love the lotus plant my favorite plant ever❤

Loved that mate. Your reaction to that scorp was brilliant, exactly how we should all react to our first big scorp 😁👌🎣

Love your vids MD always waiting for them to be uploaded. I stop what I’m doing to watch your videos lol

Yoooo, bigggg fan MD really inspiring stuff, can’t wait to get back home to watch this video

Can recommend getting a stop valve thingie for the return of these filters so it's easier to clean. I use one from all pond solutions that's exactly the same and thankfully I can just life the whole thing pipes and all to the sink but looks like it will be trickier with this set up. You can also fill the filter with water first so you won't need to start the siphon each time! Works well tho in my fancy goldfish cube!

Yes MD back with another build video

push to open buttons, not softclose. the softclose is connected to the hinge :) nice setup!

Lovely setup. Can't wait for the new paludarium

Really love this tank! I'm working on a few escapes for some zebra acara and I believe they're called rainbow acara? Anyway I can't wait to get that set up done It's going to be so much fun!

Ve been watching alot of your vids they look great so I have started doing aquascape now taking ideas from your vids

Love it when another video drops. Highlight of my day when I sit down to watch. Please please please, put clown loaches in that black water set up when you re do it. They will love the size of that tank. I’m sure I’m not the only one who wants you to do clown loaches😀

Another great video md keep it up ❤ love your scaping when are these out in UK

My first day off, and I wake up to an MD video ❤❤

love your channel.. you are a master of your craft.. are you just gluing the roots of the plants to the log? do the roots take to it somehow?

Seems to be very thick and good quality glass on that particular superfish scaper tank.

Truly the king of aqua-scaping

I like the dark tank , you could always try some purigen , it does wonders for excess tannins .

The ending scene and music was 🔥🔥

Gosh I really wish we could get Superfish stuff in the states. Their products look top notch. Great video!

Looking amazing as always ♥️

I like that a little Texas rubbed off in your lingo... FIDDLIN

Loving the aquarium kit video's! How do you decide how to position the background plants? Can you alternate between species or is it better to plant in bunches of the same species?

Amazing. Beautiful music as well.

Love your channel brother I've learned so much

Those little sun sun filters are such good value for money. Painful to prime and a bit underpowered but great for nano tanks

Love the new build 👍

so beauty!

Superfish and Colombo, Dutch products, always good, great setup mate!

Beautiful tank!

Love the channel and the different set ups! I've been binge watching as a way to relax and also excited to get back into this hobby because of you. I was curious why the tissue paper as a connection point to the rocks and wood? For more contact points?

Another stunning tank

Every time you showcase a superfish or colombo products I get jealous that we don't have it in the US. We don't have a good budget option for rimless tanks that come with everything you need. Especially at the size of this tank

You are creative and an artist

Lovely as usual but what happened to the corydoras from the pitch blackwater tank? I have a soft spot for corys.

Great tank md❤

Would love to see you do a tank for larger cichlids like geophagus and severums

So great!

That is very nice only got a 90 but wanted some ideas😊

Love the shape of candy xahe tetra.

Beautiful

Great job MD! I hope Aquafluer will consider coming to the USA. Can you do a tank set up with a similar company that provides set ups like this but ship internationally? The fish are growing really well and look amazing.

Love the new tank! What's the plan for the black water tank? Hope you do another black water with different wood it looked great in the beginning!

Your tanks are so beautiful, they are amazing and you make it look so easy. LOL

Another awesome build MD, I love the fish combo in the tank. it would be great to see what you could do with Saltwater tanks and the coral life. If that’s something that interests you?

helpful sharing. Thanks!

Very beautiful scape😀. However... That time of the month has come. The Tour is awaiting!

Another sexy fish tank!!!! Job well done!!!😊😊😊

Stunning 💯❤️❤️🤙🏼

I love planted thanks with not too much plants

Lost my two Flag Acara when I changed scape 😢 hard to get hold of around my way and am gutted! Lovely fish

nice vid MD, Yes I have been commenting that its Paludarium time YAY :)

Gotta be honest tanks looks good but good luck finding a light for it if you wanna upgrade from the stock one.

I'd like to try a saltwater algae display in one of these tanks... nice dimensions

MD says he like the negative at the back. One month later... jungle tank. Lol❤😂

Beautiful tank and stand! Can you tell me what kind of plywood/thickness it is made of? Greetings

Won't lie I actually liked the Blackwater tank new ones great as per usual upgrading my tank to a bigger one next week just deciding what scape I'm going for 😅

Heyy MD !! Another amazing tank !!! I've got a question though, are you not using the API Quick Start anymore ? 'Cause that little cap you're using isn't the API one, is it ? Thanks :)

Just a question: how do you fertilize your acquariums? They're lovely and I only wish I could get your same results!! Very well done

Cool !! Can’t wait until I’ll have my own fish room 😊 I’m watching you videos for quite long time and really enjoy yours projects. I’ve plenty of healthy Amazon Frogbit with really long roots, if you planing to do jungle style aquarium I’ll be happy to donate some of them 😁

I love the new setup. I can't stand the tinted water of brown/black water tanks, for the exact reason you mention - I want to be able to see the fish and plants - so I totally get why you don't like that effect. Love this new one, though. As for that wood that's leaching really badly. Find a place to put it submerged for a while, and it'll stop leaching like that. I do mostly very small nano tanks, so any wood I use gets boiled and soaked to get most of the tannins out before I scape with it. It's a beautiful piece, so I'd hate to see you toss it when it can be salvaged and used down the road.

Hey where cam we go to ask for advice. My 10gal ecosystem tank with ramshorn snails(9 plus new babies that are still specks) and 8 cherry shrimp. Keeps coming up high nitrates 40-80ppm and I do a 25-50% water change. I followed MD fish style with tank build. Lots of plants. A bit of land scape and proper substrate set up. A small Hob filter, and one bubbler. Temp about 73°F. Had metals and tds measured last Sunday all was awesome..then nitrates started skyrocketing. Since Sunday have done 4 partial water changes. Tank started 8/3/23.

Hi Matt. Can you give me a link to the dimmer you mentioned for the LED light?

I was gona say there the wrong way round ;-) lol 😂 I use these filters but only as a pre filter and without the motor on it (just sponges) before it gos into my main external filter…witch is full of just media….👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻Steve tivvy

I have had an aquarium for a few years with just gravel as a substrate and no plants, but I want to turn it into a heavily planted tank, do you recommend taking out the gravel and then adding soil and top that with gravel or sand, or just stick with the gravel and plant into it?

The best way to get rid of excess tannins from large pieces of wood is to put them in a black trash can large enough to fit the lid back on, set it outside where it will get the most sunlight, fill it with water and let it cook for a week. I did this with a piece from my LFS that started leaching badly within a few minutes as well as floating. There were next to no tannins when it finally went in the aquarium, and it sat quite nicely on the sand. Make sure to let it fully cool overnight before putting it in the tank.

Great job sir, did you put all the fish from the other tank there

Can't seem to get the scaper 140 in the UK yet. I can find it on European sites but no stock in the UK. So we got the scaper 90. You need to take a trip to Horizon Aquatics some time

What are some of the best stem plants to use for background plants?
