API or Aquarian does not even exist in Sweden. Weird. API Especially, such a big brand that has been around for ages. 🤔🤔🤔
How have you released this video but you are currently stood in my shop scaping 🤯🤯🤯 the power of CZcams and the internet 😂😂😂
As he can't be on CZcams and your shop at the same time, which of the two is the imposter?
@@AK_Aquascaping oh no now I'm worried 😂😂😂
😂😂
😂😂😂
Lol Matt that is funny! Can’t wait to see the tank!
How about doing a series of aquariums on a budget? A $200 20 gallon setup, a $100 10 gallon. Would be interesting to see you challenge yourself to work on a pre determined budget and give newcomers a sense of how far a dollar goes.
OG of the channel, love your work.
I would really really love that, although it might need a slightly higher budget. I want to see a community tank similar to this but with the different layers clearly separated, maybe some hatchetfish at the top, corys at bottom and a showpiece and a schooling fish for the middle in a 29-40 gallon tank. Like a really nice beginner friendly tank. I would love to see how he starts it up and intoduces everthing. as well as the problem of a rimless tank allowing the hatchets to jump.
love this idea!!! please md! :)
I mean, that isn’t to difficult to achieve. Just takes longer. :)
Ive built aquariums for basically free minus the tank cost. And almost anything that holds water well can be used as a tank.
I would bet this tank set up is $500+ and probably closer to $1,000 without the tank.
I was JUST thinking “MD hasn’t posted in a while I hope everything is okay” and BOOM here we go. Now I’ve got my in-flight entertainment sorted for my flight in 2h 🤟
Blud used to upload thrice a week, now he's down to once
Getting back on track. Been doing lots of family stuff
@@MDFishTanks family first! But I love this channel more than anything 🙏 so relaxing 🎉😊
@@MDFishTanks enjoy the family time buddy!! Us CZcams goblins can wait a day for a fish-tank update but your kids need dad every day :). Work-life balance makes life sustainable and worth living. Much love and be well ❤️
@@MDFishTanksmissed the vids!! Family time is important too I guess 😂
You do tanks like I do. Been keeping them with Zero maintenance since Diana Walstad first wrote her book. I even did one with few GOLDFISH in a 100 gallon planted tank. I would vacuum the tank out once a year.
Finally taking the jump and building my first aquarium so I'm binging your channel for inspiration.
I rebuilt 3 tanks after being on the channel. Plants now growing great and fish are happy. Best thing to learn is get the cheapest lights and filters
Hi Mr. & Mrs. MD ! This tank turned out stunning! I also wanted to say a quick thank you for the longer viewing time of the fish enjoying their new home! This isn’t just an ecosystem tank… you have created an entire new universe for these living creatures 😊. What a wonderful job you have! ❤❤❤ to you and your family! See you in the next video! Fran
12:18 you say hardscape is boring. i find that to be the most interesting. just going through various permutations to see what works and what not. love it.
I think it came out wrong, I was refering to what we had just done...meaning the substrate system. The hardscape is great
It's definitely 2 dinosaur shapes but as usual MD you killed it...... Great Job
Every tank should be an ecosystem tank. 👌
Watching your vid as im doing work in the lab gotta be one of the best moment of the week
This would look so nice with those three bettas you fancied! With all the green going on they would really stand out
This guy has obviously found his calling and is excellent at it. All of his creations are stunning - second to none. His passion for what he does comes through in every video.
LOVE this tank!!! How beautiful and awesome assortment of fish. Can’t wait to see updates on how it grows in.
I especially love the colors in this tank, from the decorative substrate to the plants and finally the beautiful fish!
They sponsored you! It's about time. Fantastic.
They have sponsored me every month for the past 3 years 😂😂
@@MDFishTanks Sorry, I'm new here, about 6 months 🤭
Great tank finish. I love the new light behind the tank. Such a nice addition of the light peeking through the openings in the wood area and the plants. Love it.
The tank came out beautuful! I love how the wood loops around creating a sort of circle? Loving the fish choices as well. Those Celestial Danios are really pretty, as are the orange Tetras. Well all really, are lovely. Thanks for creating another gorgeous tank, MD! Good to see Matt and the gang too!
Planning to make a tank of my own later this summer. Regular house plants aren’t enough and I miss having fish. Thanks for focusing on these ecosystem style tanks!
WOW! Those Rasboras! In such a perfect environment! Job well done! I just love it!
Just started my first 6 gallon bookshelf aquascape thanks to all your info and education!
I've never been this early!! So excited for this build MD!!
Finally! Been waiting all week for this new episode
the hardscape looks insane, you killed this one!
Your new studio is stupendous!!! Glad Kate is with you; family businesses can be wonderful!!! Glad Timmy is getting new digs!!! 👍💯👍
I LOVE these tanks!!! Keep them coming!
Absolutely LOVE your videos!! I have learned so much from you. I’m always saying to my hubby, “MD would be so proud of me”! 🤗 thank you!!
so excited you grabbed a few CPDs, by far my favorite nano fish. beautiful tank as always MD!
That is so cool, I absolutely love eco system tanks!
Love the new tank! Turned out great. I also liked how you showed the way you used everything and displayed what was added on the screen. Very very helpful to people starting out and wanting to learn. I dont know all fish and plants available. This really helps. Thank you!
a 10 plus on this build, actually all your tanks are a ten plus. Really like the back lighting. Thanks for the video !!!
You are my absolute favorite for my new aquarium journey. There’s plenty of other content creators and I can honestly say I appreciate yours the most.
Love the old skool vibe of the video it's nice to see the home made light brackets and the media bags and old substrate been used this is an awesome video and the tank looks mint 👍👍
The placement of those 2 pieces of wood is so perfect!
The only thing better than an MD video would be 2 or 3 MD videos a week. 😊 Favorite CZcamsr and a channel i go to for help when setting up my tanks. The only thing i don't do if the dirted method yet. 👍👍
Really love this! It has me considering rescaping my 75 gallon!
Looks amazing! Would love to see how the plants grow in!
Beautiful tank!!! Thanks for all the information you share in your videos.
You're looking massive my dude! The tanks look fantastic as well
Your videos are so relaxing and positive. Thank you!!! 😎
You can tell by your aquariums the amount of work and experience you have learned over the years ..one of the best CZcams aquarium channels out there ..amazing looking natural tanks ..✌🏻
Been watching your videons for 3 weeks and im inspired. Just ordered a 112L tank and im gonna give this hobby a go, thanks for your videos
This was one of my favorite videos I've watched from you! great job :)
You are very easy to listen to and you make a lot of sense ! I really love how Matt agrees with U even though he has classic fish shop ideas. He also stocks a great range. I have never seen purple rasbora so that was cool or the white sparkly danio. I learn a lot from you. I love how you said that the quick start and test kit make things fairly fool proof. I agree cos the problems can be fixed. I haven't been testing my water often enough and I did a fish filter recently but everyone is ok and I think it's cos I use roe water and or conditioned water and quick start and I have a lot of Aquaponic plants as well as planted. I know this is not great to not test but i honestly can't afford a master kit or even test kit at this stage. By the time I come to making a three or foot (my current is a two foot and I had an indoor pond that my landlord didn't love inside hence my two foot at a pinch which came to replace said pond) , I will have far more direction thanks to content like urs. Actually especially urs lately (no pressure). Question is Ur fish room basically a gallery ? Pretty cool and amazing and I'm sure endless opportunities for content. Anyway I absolutely love this four foot of urs. I feel like saying brain child but it probably be weird to say. I kind have said heaps of weird stuff already. Maybe it would be much simpler to say thanks for sharing and take care.
Awesome tanks, great personality, fun to watch, super video editing = perfect!!
Gosh that is a stunning tank and what a great idea! Thanks for sharing this video!!
Im a biggest fan of MD fish tank and started channel to show my tanks I've been doing aquascape for a year and i learned so much watching you videos.. thank you so much
Love watching your videos. Like when Matt’s there too🤙🏻
Fantastic!. Saved for when I make mine. Keep up the videos. So good
This turned out epic!
The purple colour from the lights makes those red plants stand out
Nice to see you displaying actually natural systems. Try supplements in the substrate to reduce the need for additives.
What's the difference between his substrate of media/gravel/compost/sand and just dirt with supplements/sand?
you are soo good att making nice tanks :) thanks for making nice content! its been lovely to follow you from the little shack in your garden to this amazing place :D
suns out guns out! Looking good MD!
WOW! The red and green light brought out the red and then green plants!!!
I can't have a tank at the moment and watching you and Matt's channel makes my day 😊
Absolutely love it
Great build
Another amazing scape with a great stocking. I love celestial pearl danios. Such a great but often slept on and under rated nano fish. So definitely excited to see a group of them make it into this tank. Thanks for sharing MD.
They’re not underrated. They’re just expensive compared to most schooling fish.
I have seen them with a pretty high price tag. But recently in my area they're going for about $4 each for captive bred and that's not to bad I don't think.
Stunning tank!
I would love to see your studio. Your tanks are awesome. Cody from Texas 🤟
Thanks MD for the channel -- I love it! However, as a biologist, I disagree about feeding routines. Fish need feeding every day, preferably several times. Science shows that fasting increases stress levels of fish and the levels stay up for several weeks even when food becomes available. So personally, I do not recommend leaving fish unfed during holidays or any other reason. This is also one of the main reasons why water movement and biological filtration is so important for long-term success of fish keeping.
Also gorgeous tank!
MD bringing the guns out again 😂 Great video as always 👌🏼
Beautiful tank. Would love to have CPDs one day.
The green background light make it seem like the ocean in the distance
Watching your videos feels SO surreal after meeting you at aquashella dallas, ahh amazing video as usual!!
Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My husband calls you and Matt “Tank Bros” and I put on this video and he says “See? Tank bro!” I about died. 🤣🤣 (get it? Cuz of the shirt😂)
I love the "bits and pieces"
Great to see Matt again! More Matt please MD! Also, while a no filter tank is your thing, I think you cannot have success without water movement. Why don't you use small water movers. I use them in all my tanks. They are the small wavemakers that people use in reef tanks. Water movement is key to long term success.
CPDs are a favorite of mine. A must got nano or small tanks
I would love a video talking more about your background (and Matt's background too). What did you do before fish and CZcams? What did you study at school?
I love MD videos!!!!! 😎😃
Absolutely 🔥
Adore my eco tank. No filter but during winter i put in a heater. as Tank drops to 15C too cold for my betta.
My base is pure lava rock (pea size) with a few root tabs. Lots of plants with wood and rocks is a joy to watch. The fish are nice too 🤣
For the base layer of soil, i started to use Dennerle Deponit Mix. Very handy when you don't have ample supplies of mixed soil like MD ;)
Amazing aquarium buddy 🎉🎉
that looks lovely
maybe it's different in person, but I think the blue light in back was prettiest
Woooo ❤❤❤ I luv this office 😊
I'm looking forward to seeing the updates on this one.
MD, you have inspired me a lot in creating tanks, especially with plants, My crypt is growing well and beautiful. I noticed that you don't have foxtail blue eyes in your aquarium
Keep up the good work, from the land of OZ Percy.
I have dwarf pencilfish and they are so beautiful as adults.
U inspired me to come in the fish tank comunity
I have just set up some plants in my sump as my dovii is a menace. I’ve actually got a plant in the main tank as well but I’ll wait to see how that goes 😃 nice video mate 🥰👍
I love how the rainbows just keep following him like puppies :D
you did nail that with the second chunk of wood
The API stash 🥲😂
nice pair of apistogramma would look great in there
❤ your tanks!!!!
Woukd love to see brackish tank. Archers, scats, monos etc. I love scats they grow so fast
Glad you had a good holiday. You should do ikebana tank and go back for that betta fish you liked especially after losing hellboy.
Daughtry loves fish
Dude! A tank top?? Love your vids, hope to see more stuff with Fish Shop Matt. 😊
Been a heatwave in the uk
@@MDFishTanks Got it. The same here in Czech Republic.
Very nice
So i was just wondering what should we at home be doing for heat on our ecosystem tanks?
Are you guys brothers? You are so funny together.
I shaved my head, and use API. It's a winning formula
timys aqua looked like lava, nice
🐌 and 🦐 are required! Yes! It is a nice tank with nice fishes. The little one at 40:53 doesn't like the flake! 😝 Look at him keep gobbing it out.
You’re the Bob Ross of aquarium building.
