Aquascape Tutorial: EPIC 4ft Amazon Aquarium / Planted Tank (how to guide | NO co2 | diy lighting)
It's been 2 months since we first built the Amazon aquarium. Here is a full build video of the tank in all it's glory. I think it's the most entertaining tank I've owned as you can see at 01:02:30 the feeding is crazy haha

I love the faux wood wall backing. Could you include info on what that is and where to get it?
Could you link the wood and stone backing?
I would brace the center section the same as the sides... In case there is any warping of the 2x4 boards. -If they bowed even a little bit, could maybe crack the tank? or split the silicone?
- with your thicker glass, maybe not.
Wow, looked ahead... again, more Gorgeous work! -Cheers!
Would you be able to make a video of how you built your water changer and water refill device? I’m always interested in it when I see it in all your videos.
Love the way the fish get excited when you tap the glass 😍😍
I enjoyed the complete hour. Watching an aquascape taking shape till the end, is like a therapy to me.
Nice work MD as always.
Watching these vids at night is just the best vibe
I enjoy every single video that he puts up. I mean my 1st. Video was when he whispered “hit subscribed” it was perfect timing and I knew this was going to be one of my new favorite thing to do for the week. catch up on all this guys videos.
Love watching different people make their animals habitats living space.
This is the grand wizard of aquarium builds. fantastic.
MD, my better half has agreed to a 450 litre tank for the living room after Christmas. This video is gonna be my inspiration. :)
Love it, MD! You should consider compiling your footage of the tanks & music by themselves and post them as aquascape ASMR! It would be so cool and so soothing!
Day 19 of telling md to do a deep waters aquarium of you can where the aquarium is longer and less wide and then you can keep 2 types of fishes(deep swimmers and top swimmers)
Please, do let us know when you reach day 200. Have a nice day.
@@annalee7403 frankly speaking don't think it will make it that long seeing he does a lot of changes 😅. Still hoping for ir to happen though 😁😁
Amazing! I am Brazilian and your tank is so much close Amazon River São Francisco, remember my childhood when I used to catch corrydoras for my aquarium, very nice.
I'm only at 25.02, so I may comment again... didn't want to forget. Digging the stand and the stain that was used. That looks good... and the wall covering, thats quit cool. And! I love the time spent on setup/design... it's how it should be.
You may not be an expert carpenter , but your aquascaping skills are off the charts !
Another beautiful job !
I know this video is for two years ago but I have to say it anyway. I love this setup. it's awesome 😍 BTW you can put the Monstera roots inside aquarium just like the thing you do with Peace Lily. almost all house plants can grow in water instead of soil. right now I have a Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma living on top of my aquarium. the cool thing is it climbs the wall behind my tank and fills in the wall with it's leaves(I had to use holders with stickers on them to attach on walls to hold Raphidophora stems as they climb the wall). I also have Alocasia Red Secret and Alocasia Jacklyn in there(their bulb isn't fully in water. just the roots)
Awww your son is so cute remembering all those movie scenes. Im away to set up a 200ltr tank just subscribed. Love it
Nothing better then getting up on a Sunday morning and having your videos to watch . And times like these we need nice relaxing stuff to watch . Thank you and keep up the beautiful work ... greetings from Ontario Canada
Ill second that from Quebec Canada
Every video makes you feel like you're there watching in person, going on the same journey when you go out to location. It's great! :)
Your Amazon tank has been a huge inspiration to my own 180L that I'm currently working on setting up. Even the stand that I'm building is inspired by yours. Keep up the good work! :)
Is it the juwel rio 180 and is the filtetration good i want to buy it my self so yeah
@@Dxtuhmc Yes it is, but I don't know how good the filter is yet. I'm still in the process of setting it up but there's tons of videos out there that helped me decided to get this particular tank. If u look for Juwel Rio 180 on youtube it should come up with all sorts of videos including filter maintenance
@@pim4686 thanks mate
@@Dxtuhmc I have had the New juwel rio 180 and now have the New juwel trigon 190L. Make sure to replace the bottom included sponges for some real biological pebbles, and the filter will do wonders. Pair it with the juwel eccoskim, and you get no oily/dirty film. Also, nobody will tell you this, but from research, the reason why some people can't get crystal clear water, is not because of the filter, it's because of the pump inside (eccoflow 600), in my opinion it is just good enough, for a small load. But when I switched it out for the eccoflow 1000 pump, the water turned crystal clear in just 5-6 hours, the flow is much stronger in and outside of the filter. It just sucks all the dirt much more quickly! The filter design it self is IMO a masterpiece. Sucking dirt from below, behind and from above!
I only clean it once every 2-3 months. That's really all you need to do. Good luck! Juwel aquariums are great.. And expensive xD
@@BlackHammerProd will that filter works for angel fish? I've heard that they prefer minimal water flow
I could listening to MD say FThree ALL Day long ! 🙏
Looks absolutely amazing! Well done MD - fantastic aquarium - simply stunning. Thank you for sharing your process, always invaluable.
WOOOW, WICKED GORGEOUS! Your set up, plant and fish selection is so amazing, your aquarium is so perfect it ALMOST looks fake. WOOOW, I could stare at this all day if I had this one. Just BEAUTIFUL!!!
LOVE the Tank. Looks great and great choice of fish
Love those wall decals! The planks and the stone!
i may have had to watch an hour video but it was so worth it, probably my favourite tank you've done
THIS AQUARIUM IS REAL AMAZON RIVER !
Amazing work man!!
I'm new to your channel (2 weeks or so) and you've inspired me to get in the game! Started a river basin theme in a 36gal tank. Thank you for teaching me the proper ways!
This method works so well cause you mimic what outside in nature love it MD
Dude, I love your energy in your videos! It's so fun and interesting to watch! Great job!! Also, love all the information you give!
Saw the front door of the aquatics place, thought 'hey they've got a lfs that looks like where I go'.
When you walked into the actual store, I realised I was literally in there two days ago 🤣🤣
I recently got a job at a pet shop as the main fish guy. I'm really trying to bring more live plants and aquascaping in. I take so much inspiration from you and your work! Can you do another rainbow river/paludarium build? Thank you so much for your amazing work.
Thanks for this wonderful trip down memory lane! This is one of my favorite builds :)
the feeding scene was epic
This guy has a passion for this hobby. Much respect. I will get to his level in a matter of time
It's so nice to see your editing skills evolve in every video! Glad to be here early too😊
Been binge watching your videos lately, this is by far my favourite scape of yours! I absolutely love it! I wish I has half your confidence when starting a new tank.
thank you for all the time and effort you put into the hobby. Always inspiring
If you deal with a problem one at a time, they will all sort themselves out”. Sage advice for bonsai
One of the best freshwater tanks I’ve seen. Bravo
This was my favorite build so far!!! Outstanding!!!
Man your tanks are astounding with super crystal clear water. 👌
Do filters that produce a little current work effectively in maintaining clear water? 🤔
I love this tank, it's simple and natural.
You are brave taking the young 'en to the shop, I always go when they are at school. It is bad enough trying to stop myself going "ooooooh I like that one" never mind my kiddies.
It's like watching the Bob Ross of aquariums 👍
This is sooooo awesome and peaceful. You should post a long video of just the fish for us to watch on our tv (that do not have time nor space for this size set up 😁)
Legendary ... I love the way you approach it all ... so real ... well done mate !
This is my favourite set up of yours, it looks so natural and bursting with life and activity.
Man I looove your videos 🔥 the scapes, the music, the fish chosen. It all just fits together so perfectly! And the idea with the plants haning into the tank is genius
I really need a compilation video of you tapping on the glass before a feed. 😆
Every enjoyable show, start to finish. Loved it.
I enjoy watching your videos and seeing your work, you've given me ideas for my own tank. Beautiful tanks!!
Love, love, love it. Awesome from start to finish. Glad I found your channel. Cheers.
About to start putting an Amazon tank together in my Juwel Rio 240! Perfect timing for this video 😉
Absolutely loved watching this video,very helpful and also the great commentary along with it. Educational and funny!!
Absolutly amazing tank! Watching from Denmark, love your teaching style - thank you 👏
EXCELLENT choice on the Red-Blue Columbian Tetras. A very underappreciated fish. I had some in a similar tank (75 gal community, LED tube lights, low-tech live plants) and they actually spawned multiple times.
Setting up my 4 foot tank today, so this is inspirational!
This tank is spectacular! The best I've seen. You're awesome! Keep it coming.
The momentary fast forward with the music is my kind of humor.
Awesome video and truly beautiful tank, such a pleasure watching it all come together with allot of thought going into the process, excellent job
Man I love your passion and even more your humour - Keep up the awesome work legend !! - Thank you !
THE ENERGY IN YOUR VIDEOS IS SO AMUSING TO WATCH. SO EXCITED TO SEE MORE LIKE THIS. i ACTUALLY UNKNOWINGLY WATCHED AN HOUR LONG VIDEO HAHAHA AND I AINT COMPLAINING
What a Beautiful Tank. I Love it
Thank you for making my tanks look better. You are the MAN.
Gorgeous tank!! This gives me inspiration for my 55 gal I'm getting in a few days.
This is so freakin cool. Absolutely have loved watching this set up. Really beautiful. Well done
Loving your Vlogs on the Aquascapes and your own design wooden stand so simple but Soo sturdy and they look absolutely amazing so 2 in 1 and a cheaper than the shop bought which ain't half as Strong.
Thanks for your Great Tutorials👍😁
Very enjoyable, start to finish.
You certainly earned my subscription 👍 Superb video, great editing and the aquarium... Simply brilliant! Keep up the great work. 👍
Was waiting for this ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 MD, your videos are hitting the endorphin rush when I see that notification 😍 and am early enough 🤗🤗 and its amazing I even remember the first part of the content 😁
My favorite tank of all time. I wanna build this too in the future
Love your creativity MD. U are awesome scraper ❤️
Man your challenging algae great to see this project 👏 , this channel is so amazing u are promoting the hobby in ways no one has ever had, there is no channels releasing video like yours, but I wish you had done a snake head tank, keep up the great work. 👍
no co2, this is the way.
That many fish in there, they'd be producing plenty of co2
@@richanthony2914 yes and also new hobbyist mostly does not want to deal with co2 system at first. so this tutorial should help them, hopefully.
Fish don't really produce co2
If you have his awesome water.
@@aqua2084 they do, also the plants when theyre not doing photosynthesis
Hello MD, I'm a newbie from Belgium. Learning a lot. Loving every bit of it. Thanks
This setup looks the business.... fantastic vid 👊🏼
Can you do a Tutorial on how you made that pipe/hose to fill up your tank? Many of us could really use a video showing how you did it.
I made a similar one, the garden section at your local hardware store should have pressure regulators and the irrigation section will have all the attachments you need to fit it to your sink
Love this tank! Beautiful and a great community of fish!
What a beauty of a tank .
Looks awesome. Had to try these lights so ordered them yesterday.
All the wood working was great.took me 3 days to get through this build. I'm glad I did. (P.s. never take this tank down, its too good).
The Amazon tank is so good.
watched the whole video. great job. the tank looks amazing!
All that work is very creative and inspiring...keep it up brother.
Beautiful tanks!! Love your scapes!!
This tank is glorious!
My God the work you do is incredible
The wire tie method for the back plants looks cool! Gonna try that with the craft wire I got
Love it mate absolutely gorgeous, well done 👍
Love it sooo much, so beautifull tank... 🙋 from Indonesia
You are an inspiration....I am setting a new planted tank after watering this video
1:00 MD simping over an opti-white glass.
Absolutely gorgeous!
I believe this is my favorite tank of yours!
Brilliant watch. Thank you
