- My first ever aquascaped bowl! I wanted to set this up to try out my ONF Flat nano+ and this light did not disappoint!
I set it up in a similar style to my friend @MDFishTanks ecosystem bowl videos! It has worked so so well and I cannot wait to see how it grows.
Definitely excited to test out more products for my aquariums in this way in the future!
Also, I now have merch!!!

Looks fantastic. Move over MD, Matt’s the new boss of the bowl😂
🤣🤣🤣 I'll let you tell him!
🤣🤣
@@FishShopMatt Shall we all wind MD up and say we are leaving his channel, because yours is better.😂😂
Great first build video!
Bowl Boss Matt!
wow...need to up my game. I'm getting strong Anakin & Obi Wan vibes...let's hope you are not tempted by the dark side!! Congratulations my young padawan 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I feel an epic battle in the making ❤️
It’s over MD, Fish Shop Matt has the sloped side
Omg! Those BEAUTIFUL Dalmatians! ♥️
That root is incredible. What a beautiful piece.
Using the "MD method", nice tribute to your mate!!! You absolutely rule Matt!!!
👍🐠👍
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent Mat, the waterscape looks amazing.
Excellent work.
I have walked past the little plant packs in the past because I had no idea they included so many plants. The prices make sense now. Thank you. They will be worth a look in the future.
Yeah another great setup can't wait fore the next video 😁 grt's from Richard 🤪✌️🐢
I love to hear you waffling 😊
Lovely little bowl and nice to see the change in thought during the build.
Thank you, definitely got to go with the flow! ❤️
@@FishShopMatt is she coming too?
Good show old chap
i have 4 aquariums at home, and dont really have the space for any more. Then you come along with bloody aquascaped bowls. Thanks Matt!!!! keep up the great work, and Merry Christmas to you and your family
Everybody loves a nice bowl
Amen! ❤️
Interestingly I think the black pumice in the black sand actually looks very realistic. I've seen similar around Lake Taupo in NZ where the pumice and the 'sand' were virtually the same colour and this looks very similar. Great design, thoroughly enjoyed watching.
I’m completely new to Fishkeeping. It is fun to do new things, but stepping out of your comfort zone & exploring a new niche can be stressful. I thought I’d researched everything before I actually got Blanche (🐠) but wow I have really deep dived since then!! I have been researching & preparing to properly plant up an ecosystem bowl for her & snail. I have admittedly been a little nervous to actually hit order on the plants, media, & tank && just do the dang thing already! You inspire me. Especially as someone who has so successfully kept fish for so long, I think it is really cool that you are trying something new and learning, growing, & expanding as a both a fish keeper & person. I just hit order- Thank you for sharing your experience!
Love the way this looks Matt. Really affective with the root system. Definitely give us updates as it starts to grow in.
🙏this was a pleasant surprise!! This turnt out amazing! Can't wait to see the light review! Also get better soon!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Great build Matt! Can’t believe the growth on those plants 😱
I find it hard to watch build videos other than MD, but you nailed it! Easy to watch and relatable 👏🏼
Looks stunning, Matt. You really raised the bar for MD tanks.😄
Your videos are brilliant very informative and imaginative but also very funny 😂
Get well soon matt! We enjoyed your video! Keep making more!!!
Thank you, definitely more incoming! ❤️
I have to crank my speakers to hear your wonderful, beautiful voice, Matt.
Very nice. Now I see where MD got his training.
Hahahaha yeah I don't like to brag! 🤣❤️
Thank you!
Fish shop Matt STUDIO coming soon!?!?!? Wooooop wooop Yey x10 🎉🎉🎉 go u buddy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐💐💐
Fingers crossed, things are starting to happen! ❤️
tatttaaa matt 🎉 just a great setup like it alot Great job keep going grts from Richard 🤪✌️🐢
Great bowl! I'd love to come visit your shop someday. I wish I had it near me!
Scape looks great. All it needs is a couple of shrimp.
Maybe soon!
keep it up Matt!
Thank you! ❤️
That is beautiful!
I have a 3 gallon bowl like that one. I had too few plants and inadequate light, so a big mess of brown algae.
I ran across some shrimp I could afford and it took 2 days to make my plants look pristine.
My only fish are minnows from a local reservoir. The aren't colorful, but they are fun to watch.
I haven't had fish in decades. You and MD got me back into it in a very small way. Thank you!!
Most excellent job sir. I love that wood. Keep ‘‘em coming man.
That looks amazing! That root adds so much character. Watch out MD. You have a protégé.
Awwwwwww get better real soon Matt..... Lovely bowl aquascape
Thank you! ❤️
I absolutely Love how the wood turned a reddish color with the red plants it looks amazing! Also, I see you have a faux "Timmy the Turtle" on the table beside the bowl very cute ;) I'm sure he will love his new scape haha.
Just love the low-paced chill type of video, big ups Matt!
it turned out awesome !
I really like bowl scapes I have a few , a tiny 1 gallon bowl a 6 gallon and a huge 14 gallon .
here's my pro tip for bowl scapes , after you've scaped , planted , and filled bowl with water , you will sometimes think ," oh that rock needs moving a bit "
unlike an aquarium ,when you when you stick your hand in the bowl , water pours out .......learned that one the hard way.
That sounds awesome!!! Yeah I've spilt water out the bowl several times already! 🤣
Great job Matt!
Those roots were absolutely the right choice, looks great!
Yeah so glad I found them! ❤️
lovely little scape mate
Loving the channel Matt! Not sure how I missed that you had a channel lol. I’m watching all of them today and doing maintenance in my amphibian, reptile, fish room! You and MD are why I started keeping fish again. The friendship and antics between you and MD is CZcams magic! Whoooooaaaaa were half way there! Love you guys, hope you both had good holidays. :)
Beautiful scape! Like an underground forest!!
It looks so good!
That's beautiful Matt, great job. Loving the look of that light. Hope you feel all better quickly. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Thank you! Slowly getting better, happy holidays to you too! ❤️❤️❤️
I could kick myself now! I saw a large bowl like yours at our local thrift shop a few months ago, but didn't buy it! Silly me, had I only known! Well I did know, as I saw MD's bowl build, but thought I'd probably not build one myself, and had found other things I wanted right then. Now, seeing both of you and MD's, I really wish I hadn't passed it up! You did an amazing job on this one. Love all the components, and your thoughts, as you worked out how you wanted to do it. Anyhow, I am really enjoying your channel, and love how you and MD both have expanded my viewing pleasure! You guys make a great team, together and individually, and I'll always watch you both! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
The 1 2 3 grow tropica pots are awesome the amount you get your your money is great. Looks amazing Matt👍
I totally agree with you ❤️
lovely
Bro you are not famous yet but please keep it up. Dont be discouraged, your videos are nice.
Your pro at this MD is not the only Bowl Scaper out there now 😂
Thank you 🤣
very nice video. very different style scape as an MD one. 👍
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video! I love how you show your true personality and that you are honest. Good luck and keep em coming!
Oh my goodness! Your Dalmatians are beautiful ❤
Love it looks great
All hail Matt. Aquascape extraordinaire ❤️
I declare an MD/Matt showdown 🎉there must be a bowloff! Two bowls enter- ONE BOWL WINS!
Looks gorgeous!
Masterfully done, your scape looks amazing. Can't wait to see the Betta tank setup.
this was awesome 👍👍 Hardscape and Rock positioning was just perfect 👌
Thank you! ❤️
The sand/rock combo is fantastic!
Thank you! ❤️
Love the change of direction you went on the hardscape!! Love intertwining twigs with rock!
Thank you! I'm glad I did! ❤️
This as your first bowl turned out amazing!!!!
It's a nice little bowl you've got here Matt. Good job!
New studio! Congrats! Loved your build and the video. Volume was little bit low but on full volume I could hear fine. Looks like 2023 is going to be an exciting one for you! Goodluck and Happy New Year!
Well done, Matt. Lovely scape.
Yes! Do more of these. Love it 😸
Turned out amazing, Matt… well done 😍😍😍
I love the contrast. Nice work!
Hehe MD gonna be crazy seeing this 😂
It's ok we were at lunch today so it's chill hahaha
Very nice. Enjoyed this video.
That's insane growth for just a few weeks!
Great build and looks awesome.
Great job Matt! Looks fantastic!
Loving the channel mate... Keep up the great work
I like it!
Looking forward to the next one
We all have to finally take the plunge and do the bowl scape at sometime. I haven't yet, but i have my bowl, it is however only 3 ltr capacity, just like yours but slightly narrower rim. I keep being inspired and the time is near.
Good job with yours, It looks great
Ok, I'm loving the reviews and fish files, but I'm really loving it when you do a setup like this. Great find with the roots. And what's this about a studio...? Keep'em coming, please Matt.
Thank you! Going to try and keep it all changing on the channel. Studio news will come in good time! ❤️🤣
This came up nicely. Good choice on the light as well! Sleek!
Thank you! ❤️
Get well soon. I always enjoy you video. You're a great fish keeper, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Awesomeness!!!
Matt dude those 2 rocks and those twigs going up look like a Well you know.
You have two??? 🤣🤣🤣
The poor dogs thought it was a bowl of food at first..😃 . It turned out fantastic, lovely piece, inspirational. 👍 Merry Christmas Matt and family.
I have a bowl I keep scaping in my mind lol just haven't done it watching you hopefully will get me off my backside and having a go
Yeah definitely got to get up and do it!!! ❤️
My pups are the same today ... sparked out on the sofa!
Thanks for the inspiration ... may need to do this as a build up to a bigger tank 🤭
I just set up a 2.5g no tech, except a heater because it's -35 outside right now... I filled it with the left over gunk on my 40g tank filter and a few days later I had cpd hatchlings and over a dozen shrimp. When I get extra clippings from my other tanks they go in this one. It's been a fun experiment. Now I want to try a bowl but I'm running out of space 😂 thanks for more ideas and a cool scape. Watch out MD, the apprentice has become the master!
Oh my word that's amazing!!! Hahaha not quite yet! ❤️
@FishShopMatt a while back you suggested i try honey gouramis for my 40g. I finally found some in town. Couldn't get the wild coloration but the golden are a great edition and maybe they'll help keep my shrimp population in check 😂
Looks lovely Matt 😃
Looks Fab with the lava stone and roots, and the plants have settled in lovely. If it was a little bigger you'd probably get away with a small shoal of white cloud mountain minnow in there.
Very cool! Looking forward to more!
Simple but grate i really like it look forward to more videos
Nice!
I have an empty bowl, and had my eye on the ONF, now I gotta get started 😁
Coolsville!
Nice work! Hi to Minnie and Roma!
That turned out great. Love the wood with the roots.. I wish I watched this earlier... Yesterday I bought a lot of Tropica 1-2 grow plants. If MD over plants his tanks I belive my new tank is gonna take the lead😂
Looks great! especially after the update!
Thank you! ❤️
You're a a natural Matt, looks like you've been doing this presentation thing for years. Inspiring video, i'm going to use your method to make a bowl in my house as well. Get well soon and happy holidays. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you so much, I guess in a way I have been presenting for years just to one person at a time in the shop 🤣🤣🤣
Happy holidays to you too. ❤️
Looks great! you and MD are the reason i started keeping fish recently , i would love to take a trip and visit your shop sometime.
Amazing, loving the videos. Keep it up
LOVE it. I wish I could find Tropica plants in my region!
They are well worth hunting down. ❤️
Beautiful job!!!!
Looks amazing!
Great job Matt! I would love to see you do more scapes.
Good looking bowl
Really cool Scape Matt, would have loved to see Dragon Stone to contrast the black sand instead of lava stone regardless great work!
