Love the fact that the first thing he did was admit he made a mistake, absolutely love this channel for MDs honesty. Its great to see the whole story, good and bad bits. Also MD your scapes make me so jealous 🤣 I cannot make my tanks look good.

The thumbnail doesn’t do this tank justice!! Honestly one of my favourite tanks you’ve built in a while 😮‍💨

I’m not mad at all that they made you build a new tank 😂 Thank you fish friends for your service to the KZfaq fans!

Chunks needs Chunkette .. he's lonely ❤

I absolutely love your rescape of this tank. The white background and sand was definitely the right choice. Absolutely stunning!

Your tank game lately has been phenomenal! The Amazon Puffer tank, and now this one, are genuine works of art.

Chunks looks even bigger in that set up. The blue Acara are so beautiful!

You Said it right... Its different than your usual designs and artistic. Loved the minimal look with balanced planting and lot of open water for the fishes to roam around.❤

I love it when MD talks for Timmy ❤🤗❤

I really like this tank with having fewer plants which allows the wood to show through and, the best part is, you can really see the beautiful fish!! Great finish.

Beautiful scape MD! So different from your typical style, I love it!

This scape reminds me of a forest fire with the red plants reaching up and over the hardscape like that. Stunning setup as always!

Beautiful balance, with plenty of room for the fish to swim and to be seen, while still showing a luxuriant growth of plants! Great job!

That is one of my favorite that you set up. Love the way it looks.

You may well find that your less than colourful blue acaras will colour up now that the dominant male has gone. It's a fairly normal situation particularly with cichlids that one male will be dominant and the others will show their submissiveness by looking subdued. Once the main man is out of the equation another one will become dominant and display full colouration.

This has to be one of my favorites. It’s a beautiful tank, looking forward to seeing a future update.

Thank you MD for inspiring fellow hobbyist to keep creating their own art in form of aquascaping :D

AND ENGLAND ARE THROUGH!!! Wish I could be watching the Euros with you surrounded by beautiful fish tanks.

With the background color and plant setup this turned out amazing 🔥🔥

Previous version of this tank was beautiful. I personally would have ignored what was going on on the bottom and left it as is (I am not the most proactive aquarium keeper ). But you did a beautiful job on the redo and I like the lower amount of plants to begin with. After seeing how much more stunning Chunks was in the less densely planted tank made me think that having one big beautiful fish in a tank is very appealing. Thanks for all your videos.

I’ve been watching your videos for months, getting inspiration for my new tank….. this is a strong contender, I love everything about this one! Well done, keep up the great content thanks!

Love this one MD❤ I did a similar middle island look for my 4ft rainbow/angel tank but I put Java and mini anubius on the big pieces of driftwood, tall anubius on small driftwoods at the back and planted crypts.

One of your best yet for sure. Really enjoyed watching the build. Hope the "raggedy" ones cheer up in quarantine 🤓.

The variety of colours from the rocks, wood and plants makes for an amazing scape. Your best yet. The next time a rescape one of my larger tanks I will try to get a similar colour scape.

At last a different style. Don’t get me wrong, I really like the tanks you’ve done over the last four years, but they’ve been getting very samey. This is a complete departure from the norm and looks amazing. It’s good to see the structure even though you’ve planted the tank. It’s not in danger of being lost under a carpet of plants. This could well be my favourite. Great work MD.

I was wondering when the mesh bags would come back! Another amazing tank!

Thanks MD! That layout is exactly what I imagend for my tank! Keeping "not so rough" cichlids with nice plants is possible but needs some considerations.

Gorgeous, bright tank! The colors make the fish look amazing!

Absolutely love this one. It’s a great change of pace and complements chunk perfectly!

I love that your style has never stagnated. You continue to develop and explore. Beautiful tank!

Ah ha! I think you have cleared up the mystery for me and my struggle with algae and dirty looking plants!! My peppered cory are constantly digging up the sand and exposing the nutrients layer in the tank. I've managed to clear it up a bit by lowering the light a little and weekly water changes, ugh not fun. I have to say I think this is my favorite tank you've setup, I mean I love the others too but really like this look. I'd love to have access to the hardscape materials you have, wow so many great pieces. Very hard to find around my area and the ones I do find are crazy expensive. Thanks for another great video 😁

I love this tank! One of my favourites you have ever done.

WOW! Great to see a new video and even better to see this tank design. I feel like you are getting to another level of design with your tanks in this use of hardscaping. The fish look amazing and I look forward to seeing what you will do for the other Acara. Great job MD!

Sometime simplicity can deliver beautiful results . Love the Mbuna Tank it looks stunning

Probably one of my favorite tanks you've done.

WE LOVE CHUNKS!! 🐟😍 On a side note, I’ve upgraded my Pygmy Cory and chili rasbora tank (both tanks are right next to each other) and it’s been a struggle getting the remaining 4 Pygmy’s out of the 10G to the 20 long, everyone else is in except for them! They dart away and hide when I walk up so watching you net all the fish in that tank makes me realize I need to remove everything and lower the water level to catch them. That’s the only way…lol

Beautiful! Love when you post MD, your videos gave me the final push to start fish keeping.

Love the variety of different colours and texture and the fish really pop against this 🎉

Really like this tank love how open it is

Chunks and Timmy’s Odessa Barbs are my favorite fish on your channel! 🎉

Perfect - again! I love scaping, I’ve made 2 AWESOME tanks following your scape and making it similar, and a few by myself have gone terribly😂

Gorgeous! Thank you very much for sharing. It's always so nice to get a peek at Timmy every once in a while.

I think the rescape is better than what you had them in before. Through watching your videos I'm finding that my personal preference is for more visible Hardscape and plant selections that don't end up completely hiding the Hardscape. I wouldn't have worked that out without watching your videos. So thanks for that

Brilliant set up, one of my favourites so far 😀

MD, I’d love to see you make a tank with Severums! They’re one of my favorite cichlids. Some people call them the poor man’s discus but i think they’re gorgeous and aren’t as aggressive as most cichlids.

I always make mistakes with my tank! I have been trying to find what I truly want for 2 years. I am still a newbie to planted tanks. I just tore down my standard 20 gallon. 3rd time in 8 months! I have a nice very simple bowl in my living room with tiny Golden White cloud minnows. It is great. Love the tank with Chunks that you just redid. I am gping to try something similar on a smaller scale. Perhaps this time it will work. Time will tell! Great inspiration MD!! (GINA)

Looks fantastic, the blue acaras are awesome.

Friend of mine got a yellow bristlenose with blue eyes, he really pops and looks gorgeous when he chill on the dark wood. Great channel ❤

This turned out amazingly beautiful.

Impressive plants and stones. I love the colors and textures. Chunks is bigger than I had realized. I like the poker chip design of his eyes. The blue on the pair is amazing! Overall a beautiful tank.

I love the colors of the rocks! Great layout!

This is my new favorite tank! I love all the swim room!

Hey MD, would love seeing you do a tank with a couple of altum angels. Those are big fish but look quite elegant.

I really want MD to do a discus tank again 👀

Great work, much better then the previous setup!! 🤩

Great looking tank! At the end of the video, it looks like the blue acara are chowing down on the plants.

Very inspiring setup!

Stunning tank build as always! 😍

Setup looks just perfect.

Stunning tank. Chunks looks great in there.

Turned out fantastic!

Lovin' the scape! Looks fresh n open! ❤

Another fabulous build. I hope Chunks and his blue friends will enjoy it

That is gorgeous!

Gorgeous!

If you like the red tiger lotus, you should look at getting a Star water lily (Nymphaea stellata). They have different shaped leaves to the tiger lotus, and are a more magenta-y colour, but they also produce blue flowers when they reach the surface!

Another beautiful tank!!

Looks amazing 🎉

Hard scape looks like a shipwreck!

Oh wow, stunning Sir

New tank looking fresh💚Hi Timmy!!!

You are just the best!

A bitter sweet video ❤

another awesome build !!!

I really like this new tank it is very nice😊

really nice finish :)

Everything I know about tanks is because of this man. Awesome channel

Beautiful! The shorts are trippy

wowwowow this looks so amazing, the fish stand out like crazy in there! would love to see you do a planted saltwater with full spectrum lights. macroalgae/softcoral tank would be right up your alley especially since you have the ro system for your bluelight saltwater already!

It looks like an old shipwreck to me, so cool.

👍🏻😎Very nice scape and fish as well.

That's a gorgeous scape. Maybe because of less plantation and minimalistic design. You should do more scapes with this theme.

Awesome video I watch them all Respect

Beautiful ❤

I'm loving the white background!!!!! ❤❤❤

Lovely set up, I love watching you create these little slices of nature. Been watching you for a few years now and you definitely have been a massive inspiration in how I keep my fish and I'm sure they are grateful for it also. So from me and my fish thanks for the content! Also what type of fish is chunk I've just got a 125 gallon and I've been looking for a more peaceful larger centerpiece fish.

Freaking love this tank!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love to see you try a mangrove or bonsai tree scape…

A beautiful tank and also enjoyed watching the video especially the background music! 😊 I would have made a deeper substrate since as you explained, chiclids tend to burrow to make a nest!

I think it be cool to see the snail room.

Those acaras are crazy when they spawn! I have some and it looks like bombs were dropped in the tank 😂

Awesome built. The color theme of the tank suits the neon blue acara more so than Chunks😅

I love to have the middle tanks he called horrible looking just the way it is. 😂😅😂😅 Another great build.

I think i prefer the tannins, looked really nice with the red plants.

incredible

Love this channel....👌🏾 🇿🇦

Koleksi tank aquascape yang sangat keren saudaraku, banyak sekali

Really beautiful tank. The island concept is perfect. I was wondering if you were ever going to get back to using mesh bags. It was years ago that I suggested it when you were first starting out.

Nooooo that was my Favorit aquascape
