    Hi MD! I discovered you channel two weeks ago purely by chance, and now I am addicted! You are the only CZcamsr for whom I have the bell turned on, I have watched more than 40 of your videos already!
    Something that would be really cool and that I think you haven’t done before is a tank with only carpeting plants (like Montecarlo and small Crypt), bear wood and loads of stem plants on the back. I would love to see how the stem plants develop over the course of the several months!

    Just watched a few videos of other people's Tank setups and by far MD Tanks are some of the absolute BEST on CZcams. I'm not trying to hate on other people I'm just saying what you do is done very very well, from the Aquascaping to your set up of your studios and I've watched since the days of being in the Shed; you have always had a visually pleasing setup all-around and you also make sure the fish love their tanks.
    Very well done MD. 👍🏻💯

    Looks great! Regarding blue plants in the aquarium - I've actually had some recent success growing peacock selaginella (uncinata) partially submerged. As long as a decent amount of the plant is still in air & soil, it seems pretty willing to push out large fronds dipping underwater that still retain the blue iridescence, which looks absolutely spectacular under tank lights

    Hi MD. I know you like Nutri Base when setting up a new scape. But it is not available in most parts of the world…..and you have followers all over the world. As a suggestion, when you mention products that may not be readily available in other parts of the world could you mention alternatives or other options so we can still learn from your experiences. For instance, it wasn’t that long ago you used to place aquasoil in media bags and then cap with a substrate. For the newbies on your channel maybe mention that option as an alternative next time you use Nutri Base.

    Hi MD, love your channel and learned a lot in last few months. Who said old "dogs" cant learn new tricks? LOL :) This is going to sound crazy but I've been keeping fish since late 60's - yes "when trees were toller". I just thought ok been there done that, right, not so quick I guess: I bred most freshwater common fish before I turned 15, then college, then US travel and restarted the hobby from very 1st salt tanks (when it was unheard of still) in early 80's, then salt water hobbiests invented wet and dry trikle system and I used it succesfully on large plexy tanks full of anykind of fish and no water changes ever. I thought what else do I need? Well from Fish Shop Matt's and my prespective that would be probably the top of the fish keepers mountain?
    Then come the Nanos, Bookshelf tanks and industry totally gets away from anything but glass tanks preferably rimless of cource. Dreams and priorities change (not for everyone of cource) but the new old is now growing plants and creating natural aquascapes - todays mainstream in our hobby. I'm like the most experienced infant obsorbing things like a sponge from your videos - ha ha ha. Anyway, keep up the most professional, highest quality, most informatively done video clips on youtube, guys, plus sounds like you have become close friends and it's fun to watch. 1 guy knows all about the fish and the other knows how to setup the greatest looking natural tanks ! Just 1 comment though: we seem to get a better and wider variety of fish y'all but maybe bc of our much bigger metropoliten area of LA/OC, CA, IDK? Cheers, love ya guys, Von

    Hey MD, just a thought…if you want to weigh down your wood with a flat base instead of using rocks underneath you could just use slate it’s a good alternative if you still want the wood to sit flat.
    It also works on-top of pvc pipes to stop them floating. I’ve used it to make pleco hideouts and they always use them. I’ve never had issues using it.
    I love how different this tank is. It’s nice to see a different style from you and it still looks great. 👌🏼😊

    I agree Superfish is great. Affordable and easy to use. About every pet/aquarium store in The Netherlands sells this brand and if you need something on the go, there is always a shop nearby to get what you need.
    But I did replace the medium in the internal filter of my Start 50 with crystal biological medium since they always come with active carbon in them. And it's nice they come with tools, liquid bacteria and a packet of quality dry fish food.

    There are some buces that are almost blue. Interesting to see how this tank develops without co2. I guess they are mostly easy plants but even rotala grows way smaller leaf size without co2

    I read cement bricks may have a PH of 9-10. The impact of that source of alkaline long term in your tank will be really helpful to know. The 8 day presoak was a smart.
    I hope you can find the time to provide a PH update in a say a couple of months when things have settled.
    Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

    I have always wanted to make a terraced tank to look like the terraced rice paddies! Use some small leafed ground cover plant like monte carlo or cuba, some anubias between the rocks of the terrace, and have a bunch of cherry shrimp and a single betta in there. This is a bit different, but interesting to see how you made the terraces.

    I set up my first tank a few days ago and I love it so much! Your videos helped me a lot, scaping the tank myself was as enjoyable as watching you do it. Can't wait to see how the plants change in a few months! I'm planning to get blue neocaradinas after the cycle is done : )

      God Bless you and God Bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek God while you can! Jesus Is The way And The Only Way To God And He Is Returning Soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember The Ultimate Sacrifice Was Done For Love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!
      For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      John 3:16 KJV
      The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus Paid our debt on the Cross, for our Salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus Is Lord and Believe with our hearts that He Was Risen from the dead, By God, and we must Be Baptized In The Name Of The Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and Live By His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest!
      Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth!
      To God Be The Glory Forever and Always, Amen!

      Dios Te Bendiga y Dios Bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras Pueda Ser Hallado! Jesus Es El camino y El Unico Camino Hacia Dios y Regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... El Mayor Sacrificio Se Hizo Por Amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA!
      Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna.
      S. Juan 3:16 RVR1960
      La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo Pagó nuestra deuda en la Cruz para nuestra Salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús Es El Señor y Creer con nuestro corazón Que Fue Resucitado de entre los muertos Por Dios, y debemos De Ser Bautizados En El nombre Del Padre, Del Hijo y Del Espíritu Santo y Vivir Por Su Palabra y Mandamientos! Confía que Dios Ayudara con El Resto!
      Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra!
      A Dios Sea La Gloria Por Siempre Y Para Siempre, Amen!

    There are blue and purple "plants" in the saltwater world. Check out blue hypnea. Technically it's a macro algae not a plant but some people have marine planted tanks with all kinds of wild stuff like that. I know saltwater aquariums aren't exactly in your wheelhouse but they are still interesting to look into.

    MD Fish Tanks, here is my fantasy 4’ tank. Light colored natural sand; 3 gnarly rootstocks with trunks sticking up out of water about 2 to 3cm; semi-transparent wavy strappy plants that look like kelp moving with the current; the most outrageous and colorful underwater plantscape that you’ve ever done, that exaggerates depth and dimension; 3 levels of interesting fish and shrimp; an asymmetrical design. I want to be visually intoxicated by this tank!

    Wish we were nearer to taunton. Popped into Maidenhead aquatics Taunton last week whilst on holiday. We live in Wiltshire and the nearest Maidenhead is in Wilton. Really badly run shop and the staff clearly are not interested. It makes a difference having a manager and staff that have the passion in the hobby.
